One system. Four answers.

DocTrail is an electronic document management system (EDMS) built around tracking. It follows every paper and digital document, from the day it arrives to the day it is done.

Where is it?

See the department that has it now.

Who has it?

Know who owns the next action.

How long has it been there?

See how long the current desk has held it.

Is it late?

Set processing timelines. Due-soon and overdue alerts notify the right people automatically.

A simple flow for every document.

From registration to final action, every handover stays visible.

01

Register

Log the document. Paper files get a DocTrail cover sheet.

02

Route

Send it to the next department or person.

03

Scan & confirm

For paper, scan the QR with a phone. For digital, open it in DocTrail. The next desk confirms receipt.

04

Track

See current custody, processing time, deadlines, alerts and the full trail in real time.

Scanning opens the record. Confirmation changes custody.

See the full journey →

Paper or digital. One trail.

The cover sheet stays with the file.

Print the cover sheet and place it on top of the file. When the file changes hands, the receiving desk scans the QR with a phone and confirms receipt.

No special scanner required.

Can't scan? Type the reference number.
