What the DMS looks like

Core Capabilities DMS

Upload

Drag files into the upload area or choose them from your device. A short form captures title, type, project, and date in a consistent way. The input is intuitive and resilient: required fields, sensible defaults, and clear validation help users label documents correctly the first time. This keeps your archive reliable and makes documents easy to find later.

Search and filter

Combine a search term with facets to move quickly from hundreds of results to the one you need. Facets like type, date, project, or status are fully configurable and can be aligned to your organization or industry. Saved filters and sorting support recurring tasks. The results list is color coded by document type, so you can spot what you need at a glance and open it instantly. Searching feels natural and predictable.

Preview

View documents directly in the preview pane without downloading first. This is fast and safe when you only need to check or compare something. We currently support common formats such as PDF, Word, Excel, email, and images. The viewer is under active development based on customer usage, so more file types become readable over time while the experience remains consistent. Zoom and print options are available when you need them.

Version control

Version control provides clarity and confidence. Users do not edit the same document simultaneously, which prevents conflicts. Every change is saved as a new version with complete history and an easy restore option. You always know which version is current. If required, an approval workflow can be configured for documents or changes.

ISO 27001 and data security

We are ISO 27001 certified. Documents are stored securely in an environment designed to meet this standard. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Access is strictly role based, and every action is logged. Backups, monitoring, and recovery procedures protect continuity. EU hosting is available with clear data-retention agreements. Regular audits and improvement cycles keep security and privacy demonstrably in order.
