Challs

Challs logoChalls are experts in developing and manufacturing specialist cleaning products, including drain care, bin care, technology cleaning and traditional chemicals. 

From humble beginnings, Challs has grown from a small bedroom to a multinational business but will remains as first and foremost, a British family owned business with family values at its core.

Challs had an average of 800 documents flowing through the business every month, including invoices, expenses and orders.

Inefficient Paper Processes

Challs decided to address the inefficiency of paper based procedures, manual workflows and physical archives. They needed new digital workflows, a better way to control their data, a more secure way to manage their documents.

After a devastating fire in 2014, Challs engaged DocTech to improve their data security, eliminating the need for physical storage.

The company sought a fresh start at its new international Headquarters in Hadleigh, Suffolk, and wanted an innovative and forward-thinking philosophy.

DocTech's Solution

Our goal was to give employees instant document access and eliminate physical storage.

A road map and planning session took place with both DocTech and Challs. 

Our document management software was implemented throughout the organisation to process invoices, orders, expenses, warehouse movements, proof of deliveries, payroll and employee records.

Document Scanning

Challs scan all their documents which are automatically classified through DocuWare's Intelligent Indexing tool.  They are subsequently saved into the system in dedicated folders.

The documents are then routed by workflows to specific departments, including digital workflows for purchasing and artwork sign off.

DocTech's solution provides employees with immediate access to the documents they are authorised to view/amend.

One member of Challs staff was allocated to take responsibility during roll out and he was able to manage this alongside his daily activities so there was no disruption to work processes. 

Staff were shown how to use the software during the training sessions and all new members of staff are now trained as part of their induction.  DocTech provide continued support to Challs as and when needed.
