Make sure your team members don’t waste time looking for documents with easy and comprehensive search functionality. With Assai’s Document Management System, documents are both secure and accessible.
Document Management is the process (or system) of capturing, tracking, and storing documents such as PDFs, word processing files, spreadsheets, presentations or drawings, and digital scans of paper-based content. Document management saves time and money by providing centralized storage and retrieval, document security, access control, and audit trails.
Assai has Document Management as a core feature of its software. See the video to discover how it is used in practice.
Assai’s Document Management system stores all your items in a central repository equipped with easy and comprehensive search options on metadata and content for documents, drawings, correspondence, emails, and more.
Store all documents, drawings, correspondence, emails, contracts, and purchase orders in a central environment. Most importantly, you control access and always have the latest revisions and versions available for your team. In addition, dedicated search and drill-down functions allow you to find the information you need rapidly, using metadata search or content search with document management.
Assai’s Document Management System provides a comprehensive solution for streamlining and controlling workflows. To begin with, it enables you to set up and manage workflows effortlessly. Furthermore, it leverages features such as user inboxes, automatic workflow assignments, and forwarding, as well as personal inboxes displaying pending items. In addition, you can track the progress of documents, correspondence, and emails using flowcharts. Lastly, the system supports sequential and parallel workflows and includes automatic escalation options for added convenience.
Assai’s Document Managemenoptions for document search and retrieval such:
We pride ourselves on bringing down retrieval time compared to other systems and improving time-to-document.
Check-out and check-in as a document management practice are fully supported, including group check-out. Thus, when a document revision is checked out, no other person can start working on the document revision – it is temporarily reserved for editing by the person who checked it out. Workflows support the required reviews after check-in.
Assai interfaces with third-party file management systems, including MS-Sharepoint and Opentext-CS10. Files uploaded to Assai are seamlessly stored in the third-party system without any additional user involvement. In fact, the user will be unaware of the transfer of the file to and from the other system. Furthermore, any modifications to metadata, such as the title, status, and check-out/check-in actions, are immediately reflected in the external system.
Includes a Google-style search bar, standard metadata search fields and content search.
