Enterprise Document Automation


Every function of the business generates documents. Sales teams create proposals, Finance creates invoices, HR creates bonus letters, etc. Often, they create digital documents by populating relevant templates with enterprise data. This data resides in data files, databases, and enterprise applications. Automating these tasks through a single enterprise document automation system eliminates inefficiencies and improves employee productivity.

Let's take the case of customer communications. Companies primarily communicate with their remote customers through electronic or digital documents. Sending the right document with the right information at an appropriate time improves customer experience. This also offers unique opportunities for businesses to cross-sell and up-sell other products/services. Imagine, including a relevant targeted offer in a customer invoice. The conversion rates of such a digital offer outscore any other channel.

Enterprise document automation software allows you to automate the creation and distribution of such business documents in large numbers. The bulk generation is just one piece of the software. You can also use it to create documents on-demand and interactively.

Enterprises are deploying document automation solutions not just for the above reasons. They improve brand and template governance. They make sure that employees use the right templates, images, and other digital assets. Thus businesses can avoid costly compliance and branding disasters.

Data Population



Using EDocGen document automation software, business users can generate electronic documents in bulk, on-demand, and interactively without manual processes.

Forms (Interactive Generation)

The system auto-generates fillable forms from your PDF and Word templates. Users fill these forms to create filled-in documents. Creating documents by filling forms is 80% faster than manually finding and filling each field. These forms can be used within the organization or can be shared outside through a secure URL. While employees can use these forms within the system, customers and vendors fill the external forms.

  1. Auto-generates fillable forms from templates without requiring any development efforts. You can customize those forms to include drop-downs, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.
  2. The system supports the population of a large range of dynamic fields into the template including tables, images, content blocks, etc.
  3. Users can upload Word, PDF, and image files through form. These would be embedded into the final generated document.
  4. You can break a large form into multi-page forms by grouping related fields. This makes the form clean and easy to fill.
  5. It's difficult to fill a large number of fields in one go. The system provides an option to save partially filled documents as drafts and update them later. A user can update it any number of times before submitting it.

You can use these forms for the customer, partner, and employee onboarding. They can finish the onboarding documentation in minutes, instead of back and forth emails and manual filling of repeat data into documents. They can fill the form fields, upload supporting documents, and E-Sign them to auto-generate all onboarding documents in one go.

Interactive document generation is also useful for creating customer support guides, product guides, manuals, etc. that undergo frequent revisions.
