DocuWare For Document Storage and Retrieval

Your shared drive is not a document management system.

It is a folder. Nobody can find anything in it. Files get saved twice under different names. Nobody is entirely sure what the latest version is. And there is no audit trail for anything.

DocuWare replaces your shared drive entirely - with a centralised, searchable, access-controlled document repository that indexes every file automatically and makes retrieval instant.

What DocuWare your does differently

Automatic document indexing

Every document that enters DocuWare is read, classified, and indexed without any manual input. No naming conventions. No folder hierarchies to remember. No misfiling.

DocuWare's Intelligent Indexing extracts the information that matters - date, document type, supplier, reference number, employee name - and uses it to file the document correctly and make it instantly searchable.

Centralised storage

One repository. Every document type - contracts, invoices, HR records, compliance certificates, correspondence - stored in the same place, accessible by authorised users from any device.

Instant retrieval

Search by any indexed field. Find a document by supplier name, date range, document type, or reference number in seconds. Not minutes. Not after a conversation with whoever last had the file.

Access controls and permissions

Role-based permissions mean every user sees only what they are authorised to see. HR documents are not visible to the finance team. Client contracts are not accessible to every new starter. And every access action is logged.

Digital signatures

DocuWare supports digital signatures natively for non-legally binding sign-off, and integrates with DocuSign and ValidatedID for legally binding e-signature where required.

Version control and audit trail

Every change to every document is recorded. Full version history, with a complete, timestamped audit trail of who accessed, edited, or approved each file.

Replace Your Shared Drive

The most common objection to investing in document management is that the shared drive works well enough. It does not. A shared drive has no indexing, no audit trail, no access controls beyond folder permissions, and no intelligence. It is a filing cabinet that happens to live in the cloud.

DocuWare replaces it entirely - and in doing so, eliminates the most time-consuming filing, searching, and version-control problems that most office teams deal with every day.

Common Questions

Can it replace our shared drive?

Yes - it does and should. DocuWare is a better solution in every meaningful way: faster retrieval, access controls, version history, and a full audit trail.

Does it work with scanned paper documents?

Yes. Paper documents can be scanned directly into DocuWare and indexed automatically on capture.

Who has access to which documents?

Whoever you decide - DocuWare supports very granular permission controls, configurable by user, role, document type, or department.

Can we migrate our existing documents?

Yes. Speak to Keeley Travis to discuss the best approach for your situation.

"After using our printer more than usual Keeley Travis were quick of the mark to dispatch us a toner to ensure we didn’t get behind. All it took was a phone call to the office to explain the situation and the toner arrived promptly the next day. They are also always hot on getting engineers out to fix any issues we may be having with the printer. Wonderful customer service."
