It all begins with documents

The heart of your digital organisation.

Documents carry the information your organisation runs on. Whether you are moving away from paper, or you want staff to enjoy working with records instead of fighting them, Monarch changes how you handle document and records management.

  • Information deluge buries what people need.
  • Records compliance depends on everyone filing correctly.
  • Searches and requests such as Freedom of Information take too long.

How it works

Search that respects your structure.

Core actions users rely on every day, and add-ons that scale governance and publishing.

Easy document handling.

  • Drag and drop your emails, documents or any files
  • Bulk upload documents with one click
  • Automatic check-in and check-out of files
  • Comprehensive version history

Permissions in one click.

Controllers and authors set who can see and edit specific content, and locked files cannot be edited, shared or downloaded without approval.

Approvals that land.

Approval tasks appear where people already work, with reminders and escalations, and the approved version is locked and stored automatically.
