Success Story | How Backyard Discovery Eliminated Operational Friction and Accelerated Global Engineering Workflows

Backyard Discovery, a manufacturer of outdoor lifestyle products, has transformed how it manages engineering information and collaborates globally with M-Files. As the company expanded its product portfolio and international operations, it needed a faster, more reliable way to manage engineering documents and change processes across borders.

By implementing M-Files, Backyard Discovery established a single source of truth for engineering documentation and streamlined workflows across teams and partners worldwide.

Highlights:

  • Engineering change orders completed up to 75 percent faster, reducing cycle times from one to two weeks to approximately three days.
  • Document access times reduced by more than 95 percent, giving global teams near-instant access to drawings, bills of materials, and assembly instructions.
  • A single, trusted source of engineering documentation that eliminates version confusion and simplifies audits.
  • Seamless integration with ERP, product lifecycle, and customer-facing systems, supported by Azure-based infrastructure.

"Now you can pull up a part drawing overseas in a matter of seconds. That alone gives us a day or more of productivity back." - Tim Goodwin, CADD Manager, Backyard Discovery

With M-Files, Backyard Discovery has eliminated bottlenecks, improved collaboration across continents, and built a scalable foundation to support continued growth.
