Categories & Use Cases

Great tool but work out your business processes first!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for document management so for example if a client needs to sign off on something or track changes on a document it's a great way of sharing and tracking content. Plus, it reduces problems associated with staff absence or leaving as handover notes aren't required. You can track who is doing what within a document and, crucially, you can search within all your documents, which makes content finding simple.

Pros

  • Tracking document actions (who did what, when).
  • Defining access capabilities so only giving certain role holders access to certain documents or parts thereof.
  • Cloud storage so accessible anywhere.
  • Document import which allows you to scan documents and extracts just the info needed in order to create bespoke reports.

Cons

  • It doesn't always capture a receipt accurately and so cannot be relied upon to import data and create a report without manually checking the integrity of the data.
  • Default print setting is letter size not A4, this drives me mad!

Most Important Features

  • Easily completing expense forms
  • Document approval tracking
  • Workflows for documents that need approvals

Return on Investment

  • Now set up it has significantly reduced admin time for everyone. I would say on average 1-2 hours per month per staff member spent on expense forms and submissions.
  • Cancelled paid version of slack as no longer needed.

Other Software Used

BrandYourself, Adobe Acrobat Sign, Agile CRM

Comprehensive and cloud-based platform for document automation.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

DocLink is a game-changer for me. I used to spend hours combing through invoices and journal entries to reconcile accounts payable and get my employees paid. DocLink automates the entire process, reducing the time I spend on compliance and freeing up my time to work on more strategic business initiatives.

  • Efficient documents sorting.
  • Minimize manual errors.
  • Automated and schedule delivery of documents.
  • Simple and easy UI/UX.
  • Secure and reliable document storage.

Cons

  • Needs some improvement on search functionality.
  • Snail speed support team.

Most Important Features

  • Easy to implement.
  • Highly secure.
  • Cloud based platform.

Return on Investment

  • Eliminate manual process.
  • Increase work efficiency.
  • Easy to implement saves productive time.

DocLink digital filing cabinet system creates a highly productive office!

Pros

  • Maintains all scanned and processed documents since we converted from paper files. 13 years and counting for our company.
  • Able to create custom folders or "workflows" with specific permissions.
  • Able to quickly search using a wide variety of search parameters.
  • Allows the user to make notations, highlights, and digital stamps for future reference.
  • Allows the user to scan or drag and drop documents into the program and will convert to the acceptable format (ie: PDF will convert to TIF).

Cons

  • Search parameters are limited. I would love to be able to enter one value and the program pull in all items containing that value (ie: wildcard search).
  • The workflow creation module is complicated. There are so many steps, and if a step is overlooked during creation, the process does not function properly.
  • It is challenging to delete workflows once a history for a specific workflow has been established.
  • The services monitoring system is confusing for the average, non-technical user.

Return on Investment

  • Our team is so much more productive with a very minute amount of "missing" documents in relation to using an archaic paper filing system.
  • We have essentially eliminated the need for an outsourced secured document storage company.
  • Our AP and Accounting teams have access to every document that we've scanned into DocLink since we began using the program, thus creating a highly efficient, stress-free work environment.
