Our Automotive case studies
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.
Doncasters Trucast: Strengthening NPI & Audit Governance
Doncasters Trucast, a recognised leader in precision investment castings and turbine components, needed to strengthen governance and traceability within its New Product Introduction process. Operating in highly regulated mobility and aerospace-related markets, the business required a more structured, auditable and scalable approach to gated project management. By implementing Singlepoint’s configurable NPI module, Doncasters Trucast introduced electronic gate approvals aligned to regulatory standards, improving visibility, accountability and compliance. The result has been sustained zero audit findings related to NPI for over three years, alongside reduced administrative burden and improved real-time insight for engineering, quality and customer-facing teams.
FMP: Delivering 4,000 Hours of Efficiency Gains
FMP, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of medical devices and healthcare products, needed to replace its manual, paper-based processes with a more efficient, compliant system. After evaluating 15 platforms across two review cycles, Singlepoint stood out as the clear leader for its flexibility, scalability and ease of use. By implementing Singlepoint’s document management and training modules, FMP achieved measurable time savings of 4,000 hours per year and significantly improved audit readiness.

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.
