Departments and domains
Organise documents and permissions according to your business map — not just shared folders.

A mid-sized company needs a shared repository, not five Drives
In a mid-sized company, the volume and number of approvers outgrow e-mail / Excel workarounds. DocPilot provides a single journey — intake, DocpilotAI extraction, confirmation, multi-step workflows with SLAs and notifications — while isolating access by role, department and domain. Self-service Business plan; Enterprise quoted on request if governance requires it.
What holds a mid-sized company back on critical documents
Each department has its own habits. Without a shared repository, cycle times explode and management loses visibility.
- Legal → procurement → finance → management workflows that get lost in e-mail
- Unclear permissions: too many people see everything, or nobody can find the file
- Deadlines and amendments hard to track across multiple departments
- Time-consuming preparation for audits or internal controls
- “Enterprise” tools too heavy, lightweight tools too limited
The mid-sized company workflow in DocPilot
A controlled journey from incoming document to archive, with steps and scopes that reflect your actual organisation.
Centralised intake
The workspace’s inbound e-mail, web upload or mobile: everything lands in the same workspace, attached to the right department or domain.
Classification and extraction
OCR + DocpilotAI suggest the type and fields (parties, amounts, dates); the score guides human confirmation.
Business confirmation
The department’s lead confirms or corrects before the workflow is published — essential when several teams work in sequence.
Multi-step workflow
Quorum, SLAs, rejection and change requests: notifications on assignment and when deadlines are exceeded. Approval on web and mobile.
Oversight and archive
Search by type, department and domain; DocpilotAI questions; an audit log for controls and management.

Features suited to mid-sized companies
Rich workflows
Multiple steps, assignment by role / department / person, SLAs and notifications to cut down on stalled queues.
DocpilotAI on the file
Ask questions about one or more selected documents to prepare a legal review or a committee meeting without rereading every PDF.
Business or Enterprise
Business to approve more files, more often. Enterprise on quote: quotas, onboarding support and specific requirements.
Mid-sized company use cases
Multi-department framework agreements and amendments
Framework agreement, amendments and related documents in the same journey, with legal and procurement approvals in sequence.
Management approvals
Executive management handles the files that need its decision from the web or mobile, with a clear history.
Internal control preparation
Reference version, approval actions and comments attached to the document — less manual reconstruction.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does DocPilot replace an “enterprise” CLM suite?
DocPilot covers the operational journey (intake, extraction, approval, archive, audit). It is not an all-encompassing CLM or a signature tool. Many mid-sized companies don’t need a six-month CLM project to gain control.
How do you manage several departments without mixing everything up?
Through roles, departments and domains: everyone sees only their own scope, while sharing the same product and the same workflows when needed.
Is Starter enough for a mid-sized company?
Often not once the number of users and approvals grows. Business is designed for these volumes; Enterprise is discussed on a quote basis.
Where is the data hosted?
On cloud infrastructure in the European Union. Multi-tenant isolation: each organisation has its own workspace.
