ENTERPRISE FILE 
CONVERSION PLATFORM
  • Generating repeatable documents is
    time-consuming.

    Are you spending a lot of time creating repeatable documents? Copy-pasting information into company templates from your CRM and other databases? 

     

    Generating invoices, forms, letters, etc. from information across your systems takes time and if not automated introduces risks.

  • Manually generating repetitive documents leads to human error.

    Manually copy-pasting information into templates is very time-consuming, and introduces major risks.  Inconsistent output and other errors can be avoided through automation.

  • Is the conversion to PDF and enrichment also done manually?

    Once you have the final document, you often need to convert the document into PDF format. You may also need to add a company logo, table of contents, watermark, optimize the file for fast web view to make sure it can be viewed on a web browser, etc.

    Done manually, all these tasks take time and add cost.

    A centralized document automation software for all your template-based documents.

    DocShifter is a document to PDF conversion software for the entire enterprise. It takes multiple input formats, automatically converts them to PDF, enriches the output if necessary and stores the high-quality renditions in the desired locations.

    Are you looking for an easy to use/implement, highly scalable PDF conversion solution that can create compliant output? Try DocShifter.

    10x faster PDF conversion with reduced costs

    DocShifter doesn't need authoring applications (MS Office, Adobe technology, etc.) to perform document generation and conversion. This speeds up the process and reduces the required licensing and infrastructure costs.

    Integrate with your existing systems

    Either through native connectors or Rest API, pull information from your databases, merge them with your templates and store the output.

    Design the templates in the tools you are familiar with (Microsoft Word)

    No need to introduce or purchase new tools. Design all your templates in Microsoft Word.

    Reduce risks and strengthen compliance

    Using simple desktop tools or other methods to generate documents will only introduce more risks and slow your document-centric processes down. With DocShifter, automate your document generation and generate consistent output.

    PDF conversion without manual intervention

    Once your documents are generated from your templates, DocShifter automatically converts the generated documents to a desired output format, such as PDF or PDF/A.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is automated document generation?

    Automated document generation is the process of outputting individualized documents that use the same document templates. Think of repeatable documents, such as bills and customer communication. The same lay out, the same documents, but each individualized with the customer name, date, amount, address etc.

    These templates are generally created in Microsoft Word and filled in with customer or other information manually; by copy-pasting information from databases, CRM systems, etc.

    How does automated document generation/ document automation work?

    Document generation automation requires a clear template design (in Microsoft Word, etc.) with field codes. For example, if you design a template for monthly bills or statements and if you know where the name and the address of your customers will be, you can utilize field codes.

    That way, each generated document will have the same lay out but have different customer names and address.

    DocShifter’s document automation role here is to pull the information you want to add to the template (customer name, customer address, dates, etc.) and merge it with the template. You can also automatically output everything to a PDF file and send it to your CRM systems or e-mail repositories.

    For your questions, please drop us a note. 

    Does DocShifter allow template creation & editing?

    No, DocShifter does not allow template creation and editing. The templates need to be created and maintained by you. You can use the tools you are familiar with for this task; Microsoft Word, Open LibreOffice etc.

    Our software helps you by taking the copy-paste (from databases into the templates) work out of the picture and outputs the final document to a file format of your choice.

    Creating and editing templates is not handled by DocShifter.

    What file formats does DocShifter support?

    DocShifter can handle more than 300 input formats. These input file formats include but are not limited to: Microsoft Office and text file formats (such as DOC, DOT, DOCM, DOCX, DOTX, RTF, HTML, TXT etc.), mark-up file formats (such as HTML, XML, CSS, XSL, XSLT etc.), PDF formats (PDF, ODFA etc.), compressed file formats (.tar, .gz, ZIP file with text files, ZIP file with on PDF, Microsoft Offices etc.), image file formats (JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF, RAW, PSD, DXG and DWG etc.).

    For an extensive list, please contact us with your questions.

    Which systems can I connect DocShifter to?

    DocShifter has native integrations with OpenText Documentum, Veeva Vault, Microsoft SharePoint Cloud, Generis CARA, Lorenz Docubridge, File Systems, Dropbox and FTP.

    It also supports any other system that allows Web Services API connections, such as IBM Filenet, Box, Alfresco, etc.

    What is DocShifter?

    DocShifter is the world’s fastest any to any conversion software. Speed, quality, scalability and configurability are the reasons why leading companies use our software to convert their documents into high quality, navigation-rich, searchable content.

    Compliant, fast, automated and scalable
    file format conversion for the regulated enterprise.

    See what our beloved customers have to say about us:

    "DocShifter is converting 36.000 documents per day, coming from all over our company (and external). We have no control over what is coming in. And still the failure rate is below 1%.

    And what really sets it apart from what we were doing before, DocShifter tells us what went wrong, so we can act upon the documents that did not convert".
    Operations Manager Large European Bank
    "DocShifter will save us over 750 hours of manual work per year. And we expect the time savings to increase as we continue to expand our use of DocShifter.

    This is significant for our clients who need the eCTD sequences to be published quickly, accurately and efficiently. "
    Jennie MayDirector, Regulatory Operations - PharmaLex
    "Very powerful tool for document conversion and generation. The DocShifter software goes further than our current needs, and from my point of view quite unique in the industry. Quick adaption due to user-friendly workflow creation functionalities. Possibility to create workflows in a user-friendly (non-IT) way. Possibilities for seamlessly integrations into existing solutions."
    Kris V.ITS Business Partner, Clinical Development
    "We are using DocShifter in conjunction with Documentum software. The rendition performance that is observed so far is more than 4000 documents per hour (on 1 single instance). The output provided is fully compliant to health authority specifications (FDA, EMA, PMDA, HC, SwissHealth, etc.) and is configurable for different countries. A true enterprise document conversion solution.”
    Piyush J. Solution Manager
    "We use DocShifter to prepare compliant, submission-ready PDF renditions for all regulatory content.

    The product is reliable, extremely fast and produces output that is compliant with multiple Health Authorities."
    Large US biotechnology companyRegulatory Information Systems Manager
    "We implemented DocShifter into production and have converted over 35.000 documents. Our failure rate has dropped from over 10% to well under 0.1%. We have seen an astronomical improvement in our document conversion processes thanks to how easy DocShifter was to implement and to use. In the course of 12 months, we are going to convert more than 100.000 documents with DocShifter. Fantastic document conversion solution!”
    Chris B. IT System Administrator - PeopleScout Technology
    "We have documentation in different languages, but when converting everything to PDF for submissions, things got complicated really fast. Our rendition engine couldn't cope with all those fonts, and we lost a lot of time fixing problems that weren't supposed to be there in the first place. We decided to make a switch to DocShifter. Scalability during our peak times, ability to deal with multiple fonts, automation (conversion of source documents to simultaneous submission-ready PDFs for multiple health authorities) and performance. These are just some of the things that make DocShifter such a powerful rendering engine."
    Jade O. Document Management Professional
    "We selected DocShifter for the incredible ease-of-use, the simple configuration and implementation, the high-quality ICH compliant output, and the huge number of formats supported. Performance is excellent, and we reduced the number of rendition servers by a factor of 3. All of this, plus the company’s responsiveness made it an easy choice."
    Regulatory Operations & Global Submissions SpecialistLarge pharmaceutical company
    "DocShifter powers the document conversion solution in Generis’ new CARA cloud offering. “We already support many joint customers who have advanced document conversion requirements met by the integration of DocShifter with CARA. We are now happy to be able to offer this on a pre-built package with New CARA on our cloud for such customers.”
    James KelleherCEO - Generis
    "As we are in the middle of a paradigm shift from analogue to digital in Japan, I have been looking for the right solution to support this for many years. In DocShifter we have found a company with solutions that have been selected by organizations of all sizes because of their responsiveness, cost-effectiveness, class-leading performance and unique capabilities that rise above the competition.”
    Kosuke OmodaPresident - eSA Japan
    "One of the things we love about DocShifter is the graphic interface to configure file transformation flows. The user interface is very simple to use and rare to find within other similar document conversion products. Wide selection of connectors to different solutions (EIM & DMS systems) make DocShifter a great choice for our company as well. We also are very happy with the customer support we receive: extremely friendly and prompt.”
    Nikita L.Information Management Consultant
    "With DocShifter, we are seeing better performance with even less resources, compared to our previous solution. The deployment is very easy, and the utilization of hardware/software resources are extremely efficient. Thanks to DocShifter's architecture and not needing Office applications, we were able to save a lot of money and resources by the switch.”
