Control who sees what with role-based permissions. HR sees everything, managers see team documents, employees see only their own. Protect sensitive information while maintaining transparency

Key Features

Centralized Document Storage

Upload and store documents in one secure location. Support for all common formats—PDFs, images, and more—with automatic metadata capture for easy organization and retrieval.

Granular Access Control

Choose exactly who sees each document. Share publicly with all employees, restrict to specific individuals, or keep files admin-only. Change visibility anytime as needs evolve.

Digital Signature Workflows

Mark documents as requiring signature and track completion. Employees are prompted to acknowledge important documents, and HR can monitor who has signed—perfect for policies, contracts, and compliance.

Organize documents by category—Employment Records, Personal, Company, or Requests. Find any file instantly with powerful search and filters. No more digging through folders.

Use Cases

An HR manager uploads 50 new employee contracts. They categorize them as 'Employment', set permissions so only HR and the specific employee can access each contract, and employees can download their own instantly

A company updates its privacy policy. HR uploads the new document, marks it as requiring signature, and assigns it to all employees. The system tracks who has signed, sends reminders, and maintains compliance records

A manager needs to review an employee's performance history. They search 'performance reviews', filter by employee name, and instantly access all review documents with proper access controls

An employee requests a copy of their employment contract. They navigate to Documents, filter by 'Employment', and download it immediately—no need to contact HR or wait for email responses
