Document management with authorities for port infrastructures
bremenports GmbH & Co. KG is a great example of how PRO.FILE was implemented as a central building block of an IT-enabled infrastructure solution and why it is so important to have a Product Data Backbone as a single source of truth to support this.

IT-enabled infrastructure management
Consistent process control
Assignment of e-mails and documents to projects

The challenge
It used to be that the immense number of copies made it very difficult to know where the original document needed to be available in the first place. Rather than collecting department-specific data and organizing them by discipline, the goal was to have a single source of truth for every document.

The solution
End-to-end document management, consistent process control, and the ability to match emails and documents to projects in PRO.FILE organizes communication within the company and with authorities and service providers more efficiently while eliminating redundancies.

bremenports now manages its documents digitally and makes them available electronically, integrates construction plans and electronic diagrams from CAD systems with its digital documents management and links documents with its geographic information system (GIS).

"At bremenports, document management is a key building block of our IT-enabled infrastructure management. It used to be that the immense number of copies made it very difficult to know where the original document needed to be available in the first place. Rather than collecting department-specific data and organizing them by discipline, every document now only exists once in a single location and in electronic form. And you can rest assured that it’s the most current version."
