What it costs 01
Filing and tagging by hand
Someone picks the folder, names the file, and types in the supplier, date, and amount. For every document, every day.
ArcDoc reads every document that comes in, works out what it is, and organizes it for you. It also connects each one to the orders, suppliers, and transactions it belongs to, so one search brings up the document and everything related to it.

Why documents get lost
Take one supplier invoice. Accounts payable needs it to pay the bill. Purchasing needs it to check the order. Receiving needs it to confirm what arrived. Finance needs it at month end, and your auditor asks for it a year later.
A folder can hold it in only one of those places. So people save copies, rename them, and go digging every time someone asks.

!Five copies of one invoice. Different names, different dates. Which one is current?
What it costs 01
Someone picks the folder, names the file, and types in the supplier, date, and amount. For every document, every day.
What it costs 02
Files sit in shared drives, inboxes, and desktops. Finding one depends on knowing who saved it, and where.
What it costs 03
The invoice is in one place, the purchase order in another, and the signed delivery receipt in a third. Putting them back together is a manual job, usually at the worst possible time.

Self-organizing documents
Most document systems still expect a person to choose the folder and type in the details. ArcDoc does that work itself.
It reads each document, recognizes what it is, and pulls out the details that matter, such as the supplier, customer, dates, amounts, and reference numbers. Those details are searchable right away, without anyone tagging or typing a thing.

Smart search
Searching by file name only works if someone named the file well. Even then, you find one document and still have to go looking for the rest.
With ArcDoc, you search the way you would ask a coworker. Open any document and the related ones sit right beside it: the purchase order, the delivery receipt, the credit memo, and the payment.

Smart workspaces
You should not have to design a folder structure before you can get organized. ArcDoc's AI notices how your documents naturally group together, by supplier, customer, route, or audit, and suggests workspaces around them.
Nothing changes without your approval. Every suggestion waits in the Discovery Inbox, where you confirm it, adjust it, or dismiss it. ArcDoc learns from each decision, so its suggestions get closer to how your team actually works.
Store once, link everywhere
Copies are how folders cope with a document that belongs in more than one place. Then the copies drift apart, and nobody is sure which one is current.
ArcDoc stores each document once, keeps its full version history, and links it to every workspace, record, and transaction it belongs to. Update it once, and everyone sees the same document.
Each document is kept once and linked everywhere it belongs, so there are no stray copies to chase down.
Every change is saved. See what changed and when, and go back to an earlier version if you need to.
Connect the drives and document systems you already use. ArcDoc indexes what is there, so you do not have to move anything first.
When a document changes in a connected source, ArcDoc picks up the change and keeps search results current.
Connected evidence
At month end or audit time, someone has to pull the purchase order, the signed delivery receipt, and the invoice behind each payment. That usually means a lot of digging. ArcDoc links documents to the transactions they support as they come in, so when someone asks for proof, it is already there, and a missing piece is easy to spot.
