Where you are now
Your manuals live in a shared drive with names like “Manual_final_v3_use this one.docx”. Someone printed a copy eight months ago and it is still on a shelf, out of date, and nobody has told the person using it. When a customer audit asks who approved the current version and when it expires, the answer is a search, not a lookup.
What the system does
- A document is drafted from an approved template.
- It is signed electronically by the people responsible for it.
- The system checks the document’s format and required fields before it is released.
- Every version, owner and expiry date is recorded against the document.
- An alert fires before a document expires, not after.
