It enables companies to create, revise and sign documents electronically in a legally compliant manner, which not only optimizes workflows but also significantly increases efficiency. Through the flexible definition of different circulation systems, whether single or multi-stage procedures, the system automatically assigns the relevant participants to review the documents. This ensures that the right people are always involved in the process.\n\nIn addition to these central functions, the document control software offers advanced features for the effective management of regulated and controlled documents. Quality managers can create regulated documents within the system based on approved templates and control these templates themselves. The system also supports the management of specification documents and forms to ensure that all required information is accurate and up to date.\n\nAn outstanding feature of the document control software is the GxP-compliant digital document signature. This first-class software-based solution enables administrators to sign documents electronically, ensuring regulatory compliance throughout. The module also offers a powerful full-text search based on document content and metadata, making it much easier to find the information you need quickly.\n\nTo further increase security, the document control software includes an individual and dynamic mandatory watermark, controlled and logged printing and offers the option of comparing different document versions and displaying differences visually. Integrated archiving is supported by the enterprise content management system d.velop documents. Access to the system is possible via Windows as well as via a web browser and includes a regularly recurring resubmission function.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/1483256f-bef8-49f0-829d-ac0719343177.png","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2064078/document-control-1","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2064078/document-control-1#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":5.0,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":3},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Windows, Windows on premise"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2064078/document-control-1#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Document Control Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/1175/document-control/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"dls | document control","position":3,"item":"/software/2064078/document-control-1","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
