This is a description of the journey that Unverferth Mfg. Co., Inc., took when the company went from drawings boards and paper to a virtual digital world using Vault Professional software. We will talk about how the firm merged 3 independent and separately located Engineering departments into a single department. We will demonstrate our procedures—including file management, items use, and establishment of a 100%-digital Change Order and Approval process—and we'll talk about how we did them. Then we'll show how we are integrating with our enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
