The Challenge

As volumes grew, the approach increased risk, slowed turnaround times, and raised costs due to manual intervention. The challenge was to implement scalable automation that enforced strict formatting rules, reduced errors, and integrated with existing production systems without disrupting operations or requiring a full platform replacement.

“Our client Sefas Innovation worked with a customer that needed to automate complex document creation and formatting workflows limited by manual processes, inconsistent formatting, and poor scalability.”

Our Solution

ParallelStaff partnered with Sefas Innovation to provide consulting and engineering support, working as an extension of the delivery team to modernize epiq Systems’ document automation workflows. Using Python for workflow orchestration and formatting logic, VueJS for configuration and user-facing components, and C++ for performance-critical and legacy-adjacent integrations, the team standardized document generation, reduced exceptions, and improved maintainability. The solution enabled reliable, production-ready automation that scaled with document volume while preserving compatibility with existing systems.

The Results

  • Reduced document processing time by 45%, accelerating turnaround for high-volume document production.
  • Lowered manual document handling effort by 60%, significantly reducing operational overhead and rework.
  • Decreased formatting-related exceptions and post-generation corrections by 35% through standardized automation rules.
  • Enabled support for a 2.5x increase in document volume without adding engineering or operations headcount.
