About The Company

Established in 1970, Abu Dhabi based Al Masaood is one of the largest integrated industrial, commercial and service organisations in the Middle East. Its companies and partnerships span activities and expertise across 18 diverse market segments, including industrial, automotive, business services, construction, real estate, etc. The privately held Group employs over 2,000 people, who rigorously work to ensure highest levels of customer satisfaction through its quality products and services.

The Key Business Challenges

At Al Masaood, a multitude of important documents are created, signed and processed on a daily basis. The Group’s two key departments where the paperwork requirements have been massive are –

  • Service Department – Nissan and Renault Service
  • Parts Department

Both these departments are actively engaged in preparing and exchanging crucial documents such as Memos, Approval of Service, Attendance Documents, etc on an ongoing basis.

Traditionally, prior to integration with MSB Docs, the voluminous paperwork and contact procedures were taking place manually within these departments. The department admins used to create all documents manually on sheets of paper, which were then physically sent to the HR department or to managers at different hierarchical levels for their review and consent. A typical print-sign-scan routine was followed for each individual document, which proved to be mundane, and eventually posed big challenges for the company. Some of these key challenges are listed below –

  • High Document Turnaround Time – The manual way of document handling proved to be a slow and tedious process. Each document’s journey, starting from its creation stage till its approval, was lengthy, as it involved manual printing, signing scanning and exchange of paper. All this consumed far too many days, and caused tremendous internal delays.
  • Dip in Staff Productivity – The employees at Al Masaood spent most of their precious hours in fulfilling the massive paperwork requirements, including chasing different stakeholders for review and signatures. Staff efficiency and productivity was getting highly compromised, as there was hardly any time left to perform other valuable tasks.

The Al Masaood Group was committed to find a solution to streamline its overwhelming documentation load, expedite approvals and thus infuse efficiency into the system.
