Corestruc is the flagship company of a conglomerate that includes eleven individual companies and 250 employees. All are active in the concrete, real estate and agricultural industries in South Africa and neighboring countries. Corestruc designs and manufactures pre-cast concrete structures that are used in public infrastructure and the private construction sector. A digital document management system helps coordinate all these corporate threads from their headquarters in Polokwane, located northeast of Johannesburg.

A constant battle with paper-based administration used to be part of their everyday at Corestruc's Polokwane headquarters, it was always a big challenge due to the geographical distribution of its subsidiaries. Since the decentralized employees only travelled to Polokwane on average once a month and then took the documents received locally with them, it would take them four weeks on average to process incoming A/P invoices. Although urgent documents were sometimes scanned in advance and forwarded by email, this almost always led to a loss of control later on, since it was often unclear if the copy of the invoice had been processed or not. The department would generally fall back on the paper-based variant and its long processing times.
