Höganäs: Smoother global workflows with Scrive

Tackling inefficiency in cross-border document signing

For Höganäs, the global leader in advanced ceramic and metal powders, managing contracts across borders was a slow, paper-heavy process that caused delays and created uncertainty. With internal and external signing parties often located in different countries, the company needed a faster, more transparent way to manage legal and HR documentation.

“Scrive has transformed the way we manage documents, making our workflows faster, smoother, and more reliable than ever before.”
Maria Vogel, IP Coordinator at Höganäs.

Manual processes meant that employees were spending excessive time chasing signatures and tracking document statuses. The inefficiencies impacted both internal operations and collaboration with partners, driving the need for a modern electronic signing solution.

A seamless integration into legal and HR systems

To meet these challenges, Höganäs implemented Scrive’s electronic signature solution, seamlessly integrating it into their legal management platform. This enabled the legal team to manage contracts and documentation within a single, streamlined system. By leveraging Scrive’s integration with Legisway, Höganäs has enhanced efficiency and performance across their legal operations while effectively mitigating risk.

Scrive was also connected to the company’s HR system – Workday, streamlining employment contract workflows and internal approvals. 

This dual integration helped reduce administrative burden while ensuring compliance and visibility across departments.

Faster, greener, and more transparent

Since adopting Scrive, Höganäs has seen clear improvements:

• Reduced contract turnaround time
  No more reliance on the postal service or delays between countries.

• Streamlined workflows
  Allowing simultaneous signing by multiple parties, speeding up deal cycles.

• Environmental benefits
  A shift away from paper aligns with the company’s sustainability ambitions.

• Improved employee efficiency
  Less time spent managing and following up on documentation.

By digitalising their signing processes, Höganäs has achieved greater operational agility and transparency across business units.

Why Scrive?

One of the key reasons Höganäs chose Scrive was its integration capabilities, making it easy to connect with tools already in use across the company. Scrive’s user-friendly interface and responsive customer support also played a central role in successful adoption.

As Höganäs continues to develop its processes, Scrive supports their efforts toward more efficient and connected ways of working.

“We would highly recommend Scrive to others because it has simplified and accelerated our signing processes. The tool is very user-friendly, and the service and support team are great!”
