How Holberton School Transformed Document Management with Docupilot

With more than 30 campuses spread across the globe, Holberton School is known for its innovative approach to training the next wave of tech talent. But with growth comes complexity — and Holberton found itself bogged down by an overwhelming volume of academic and administrative paperwork. Certificates, contracts, enrollment records — all essential, yet draining precious time and resources.

To overcome these challenges and bring efficiency to their operations, Holberton turned to Docupilot, a smart, automated document generation platform.

The Challenge: A Growing School, Drowning in Paperwork

Before switching to Docupilot, Holberton’s team was managing documents manually — a process that was not only time-consuming but also left room for costly errors. Here's what they were up against:

  • Manual Document Creation: Staff had to create every certificate, contract, and attestation by hand. This repetitive task took up a significant chunk of their day.

  • High Risk of Human Error: With so much manual input, details like birthdates or enrollment periods were often entered incorrectly.

  • Administrative Overload: As the student base grew, so did the paperwork — pushing the administrative workload to unsustainable levels.

  • Inefficient Workflows: Keeping track of various document types and ensuring their accuracy became increasingly complicated.

The Solution: How Docupilot Changed the Game

Once Docupilot was introduced, the transformation was immediate and measurable.

  • Automation That Cuts the Clutter: By automating the document creation process using templates and dynamic data fields, Holberton slashed manual work by 50%. This freed up staff to focus on strategic, higher-value tasks.

  • Speed Where It Matters: Documents that used to take minutes were now generated in seconds — a game-changer in a fast-paced environment.

  • Precision Built-In: With data automatically pulled into templates, common errors disappeared almost overnight. No more typos, no more mismatched dates.

  • Smooth Integration: Docupilot worked seamlessly with Holberton’s existing tools like RTBOL CRM and Zapier, making for a cohesive and efficient workflow.

  • Better Experience, All Around: Students and partners began receiving accurate, professionally formatted documents faster than ever — reinforcing trust in the institution’s processes.
