The challenge

Gates Power Systems’ commitment to excellence necessitated a robust system to deliver Shop Floor Standard Operating Procedures and Work Instructions to their workforce. The need for precise document management was crucial to uphold their high standards, especially when facing the scrutiny of regular audits.

Our solution

In August 2010, Gates Power Systems implemented Singlepoint’s Visual Navigator, a solution perfectly designed to streamline its document delivery process. This system enables the storage of documents in ‘hotspots’ linked to images of their manufacturing equipment, ensuring operators access only the correct versions of necessary documents.

The Results

The adoption of the Visual Navigator has reaped considerable time savings and bolstered efficiency. Roddy Edgar, IT Manager at Gates Power Systems, attests to the system’s value: 

“One word describes Singlepoint Visual Navigator for us on the shop floor and that word is ‘invaluable’.” 

Operators now experience seamless access to essential documents and the company stands in a solid position during audits, thanks to the comprehensive control and audit trail that the system ensures.

Horizons: From barely visible to ISO 9001 audit-ready

Horizons: From barely visible to ISO 9001 audit-ready

Horizons Incorporated had a document control system, but adoption never spread beyond the core quality team. At audit the answer was technically yes; in practice, most of the workforce did not know it existed. After evaluating six vendors, Horizons chose Singlepoint for its concurrent user licensing, visual navigation, and cross-module traceability. A back-end migration from Waypoint kept implementation to weeks, not months. The result: whole-workforce access without per-seat cost, a complete corrective action audit trail, and a first surveillance audit that impressed an examiner the team had never met. Adoption itself now serves as a live quality signal.

Mentholatum: audit-ready under FDA scrutiny

Mentholatum: audit-ready under FDA scrutiny

The Mentholatum Company, a US OTC and consumer health manufacturer regulated under cGMP and 21 CFR Part 11, was managing quality documentation on local servers and network drives, with no single system of record, no reliable audit trail, and real exposure to ransomware. After a recommendation from its UK affiliate, Mentholatum deployed Singlepoint for document control across its Orchard Park and Horsham sites. A 2026 cloud migration removed dedicated server hosting and saved over $18,000 a year, while delivering 24/7 access for a three-shift operation. Every operator can now pull up a current, controlled SOP the moment an auditor asks.
