For those who use other applications like Syncthing, Formable can help integrate Paperless, allowing for seamless document processing and management across your various business tools.

Paperless ensures your data is stored locally on your server, giving you full control over your sensitive information. The documents are saved in PDF/A format alongside the original files, which is ideal for long-term storage.

The application uses machine learning to suggest tags, correspondents, and document types, streamlining the categorization process. You can also customize your dashboard with statistics and saved views that are relevant to your business, making it easier to access frequently used filters or documents.

Paperless is a powerful yet user-friendly document management system that can transform the way small businesses handle their paperwork. With its robust search capabilities, organizational tools, and integration options, it's an excellent choice for any business looking to manage their documents digitally. Thank you for watching this screencast on Paperless-ngx, and see how it can help you maintain a paperless, organized day.
