ActiveDocs is an enterprise document automation platform that gives organizations complete control over how documents are created, managed, and delivered.
Whether you’re looking for end-to-end document processing solutions or targeted automation for a single workflow, ActiveDocs adapts to the complexity of your organization, not the other way around.
Template Design provides a straightforward way for organizations to create, manage, and maintain automated documents without relying on IT specialists. All template components are managed in a single central workspace, making it easy to oversee content, structure, and logic across every document. Templates, reusable content blocks, document sets, and data connections can be configured without writing code, while designers work directly in Microsoft Word to ensure documents look exactly as intended.
The platform preserves formatting, simplifies updates, and allows changes to be made once and reflected everywhere. With clear visibility into how content and data work together, ActiveDocs supports everything from simple automated contract creation to complex, enterprise-wide solutions with consistency and control.
The Rules Engine ensures that every automated document follows the right business logic and decisions every time. It controls how templates are chosen, what content is included, which data is used, how text is formatted, and even which workflow or delivery method is applied, all based on clear rules built through an easy-to-use interface.
These rules can be simple or detailed, and once defined, they are applied automatically wherever they are needed, keeping output consistent and reliable. Updates to rules take effect instantly across all document processes, helping maintain accuracy and compliance while reducing manual intervention.
ActiveDocs Integration lets document automation work smoothly with the systems organizations already use. It connects to cloud applications, CRM platforms, email and productivity tools, finance systems, content libraries, and digital signature automation services, so data flows directly into documents without manual effort.
Whether documents are created inside familiar interfaces like Outlook or Salesforce, stored automatically in a document library, or signed through popular e-signature providers, ActiveDocs ensures consistency and accuracy. This flexible approach means automation can be added where it delivers the most value, while keeping existing systems and processes in place.
ActiveDocs Workflow adds structured process control to document automation, ensuring documents move smoothly from initial draft to final release. Beyond simply creating and delivering documents, workflow guides each document through the steps organizations typically require, such as reviewing, revising, approving, formatting, storing, and delivering, with flexibility for different paths depending on business needs.
It works with existing workflow tools or offers its own built-in workflow support, helping ensure that document-related processes are consistent, efficient, and aligned with internal standards and requirements. For regulated industries, this is particularly valuable for employment contract automation where approval chains and audit trails are non-negotiable.
ActiveDocs Multi-Language Support makes it easy to generate automated documents in different languages without repeating work. Language content is stored separately from the main automation logic, so the same document structure and rules can be used, with only the wording changing based on the language needed.
Common terms and translations are managed in reusable sets, and the correct language is applied automatically during document creation. This keeps output consistent and accurate while making it simple to support multiple languages across an organization’s documents.
ActiveDocs Snippets are reusable pieces of document content that act like building blocks for templates. They can range from simple text and graphics to rich content with automation and data-driven logic. Managed in a central library, a change to a Snippet updates it everywhere it’s used, keeping document content consistent and easy to maintain. Snippets can be grouped into categories, edited before inclusion in a document, and repeated as needed, helping teams build complex documents more efficiently and reliably.
ActiveDocs Clause Libraries provide a central library of standard content pieces that can be reused across many templates, helping organizations keep documents consistent and up to date. Clauses can include text, rules, data fields, and formatting, and are stored in a managed repository so updates are controlled and tracked. This is especially useful for legal contract automation, where clause-level precision and version control directly affect compliance outcomes.
When a clause is used across multiple templates, changes to the clause are reflected everywhere it appears, reducing repetition and manual editing while keeping documents aligned with business standards. This approach speeds up document creation and maintenance while improving accuracy and consistency.
ActiveDocs Design Approval adds a formal review step to ensure that templates and shared content are checked and approved before they are made available for use. Design components can be routed to a group of reviewers, with automatic notifications when approval is needed, and publishing is controlled until all required approvals are received. A related document approval process ensures that finished documents are validated before they’re released. This helps maintain quality, consistency, and compliance across all automated documents.
ActiveDocs Compliance Enforcement and Auditing helps organizations maintain control and visibility over every part of the document automation process. It keeps clear records of changes to templates, rules, approvals, and document generation, including who made each change and when it happened. Permissions and approval steps are enforced to ensure authorized updates are made, and detailed logs make it easy to demonstrate compliance with internal policies and external regulations. This built-in traceability and reporting support audits and reviews with confidence and clarity.
ActiveDocs Reporting provides organizations with clear insights into how document automation is being used and how it’s performing. It tracks metrics such as how often templates are used, how many documents are generated, who is interacting with the system, and where delays or errors occur. Custom views and filters make it easy to focus on the information that matters, and data can be shared or exported for further analysis. This visibility helps teams understand adoption, improve processes, and provide evidence of performance and compliance.
ActiveDocs Advanced Email Delivery makes it easy to send automated documents by email as part of the document process. Delivery can be set up so that the right recipients receive the correct files automatically, with support for customized message content and attachments. Emails can be sent based on business rules or workflow outcomes, and delivery activity is logged for later review. This feature works with existing email systems and helps organizations streamline document distribution without manual effort.
ActiveDocs Document Sets enable coordinated generation of multiple related documents in a single transaction, driven by configurable rules that determine which templates are included and how data is applied across them. Document Sets support conditional logic, attachments, sequencing, and metadata propagation to ensure that each component of a set adheres to business requirements and delivery specifications.
The feature manages dependencies between documents and integrates with workflow and delivery systems to automate processing, storage, and distribution as part of broader automation workflows. This makes it a strong fit for construction document automation, where project handover packages, subcontractor agreements, and compliance certificates often need to move together.
ActiveDocs Dynamic Attachments lets you automatically include the right extra files when a document is generated. Based on preset rules or input information, related documents, forms, or supporting materials can be added to a document bundle without anyone having to attach them manually. This ensures that every set of generated documents contains everything it needs for its purpose, helping organizations streamline output and reduce errors while keeping attachments consistent and correct.
ActiveDocs Excel Workbook Automation makes it easy to include Excel workbooks in document automation workflows without manual steps. Workbooks can be used as sources of data for documents or as outputs of automated processes, with the system pulling in values, running calculations, and preserving spreadsheet formatting.
Rules can determine how data flows between templates and Excel files, so documents and workbooks stay aligned and correct as part of a single automated process. This helps organizations connect structured Excel data with automated document generation, simplifying tasks that involve both documents and spreadsheets.
ActiveDocs Document Wizard offers a simple, guided way to generate documents through a clear series of steps that guide users through the required information. It collects and validates inputs, applies preset rules, and drives the appropriate document-creation path to produce the correct output with minimal effort.
The wizard can be used inside familiar systems or workflows to make document generation easier, faster, and more reliable for everyone involved. It’s particularly effective as a front-end for proposal automation software, guiding sales or operations teams through variable inputs while keeping the final output on-brand and compliant.
ActiveDocs Free Text Fields allow parts of a document to include custom text entered at the time of generation, giving users the flexibility to add narrative or descriptive content where needed. These fields can apply simple rules or checks to guide input and ensure it aligns with the document’s context, and they work seamlessly with the template’s automated components. This makes it easy to combine structured, automated content with personalized text in the final document.
ActiveDocs Data Integration lets automated documents connect directly to the organization’s existing data systems, so information flows into documents automatically rather than being entered manually.
Templates pull data from CRM systems, databases, and other business applications through a central data layer that maintains consistent, easy-to-update connections. This means changes to where data comes from don’t require changes to every template, and documents always reflect current, accurate information. The result is faster, more reliable document generation that stays in sync with core business data.
ActiveDocs Dynamic Data Sources makes documents smarter by pulling the right information at the moment they are created. Instead of relying solely on static values stored in a template, the system can look up current data, perform simple calculations, or fetch related information based on the situation or the inputs provided. This ensures documents always include accurate and relevant information drawn from the latest available sources, without manual updates, helping to keep output reliable and aligned with real-time business needs.
