Document Management System Software

I want a local based office documents management system, I don't mind on a local nas server or something like that. We have a lot of sales employees who get a take invoices and receipts. and it just keeps piling up. I think a paperless office is the way office. scan it, shred it, search and use it anytime.

some features I can find online:

1. Approval Workflow

An invoice, a vacation application or another document needs to be approved by one or several people before next steps?

2. Sharing

Share documents, folders, sections or even the whole account to anyone you like. With "View" permissions they can only see the document; with "Edit" they can also edit the meta data.

3. Notifications

Set and get automatic notifications for changes in documents, folders or sections as often as you choose.

4. File versions

You can upload a new version of a document and preserve the existing metadata and all earlier versions of the file

5. Reminders

Whenever you need a notification at a certain date and time, just set up a reminder!


6. Powerful search

We have built in a powerful search so you can search documents not only by the file name but also document's title and metadata,

Take a look at Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint; I don't know anything about the pricing structure or what you get with each of the various packages but it sounds like it will do what you're looking for.

SharePoint gives you online/locally hosted document management with alerts, versions etc.

In Office 365 there is an application called Flow; this is a workflow tool.

Alternatively, look at the Google equivalents:

Google Drive is a file storage area that allows sharing, alerts, not sure about versions.
Apologies, I may have misread; looks like you are looking a local host. SharePoint is possible on a local server but Google is cloud based.

Just googled document management software, try this link with reviews:
