A robust, scalable and flexible document management platform
Managing document storage is often a daunting task. Not only do you need to make sure documents are stored securely, you also need to enable the right users to access them again quickly. Alongside these challenges, business-critical emails arrive at an ever-increasing rate, resulting in crucial data ending up siloed and uncontrolled in individual user inboxes.
What is Invu?
Invu Document Management software is a customisable, compliant and fully text searchable repository of information that can store and index almost any type of document. It is the ideal solution to help with the heavy influx of documentation within your organisation, helping to reduce your reliance on paper documents.
Designed as a scalable solution, Invu Document Management works with your existing Microsoft and business applications as a core part of your business processes. Documents can be imported electronically from Microsoft Office, and emails with attachments and paper documents can be rapidly scanned in. Once within Invu, documents can be routed between users, processed, classified, audited and securely shared externally.
Save Time, Space & Money
Invu Document Management gives you complete control of your documents with instant access to the information you need, cutting out the time your teams lose every day looking for information.
Invu could also reduce your storage space by around 60% within 12 months. Invu instantly relieves the pressure on space, providing safe, compliant access to information at the touch of a button.
Improve Compliance
The burden of red tape impacts organisations every day, be it from HMRC, FSA or professional bodies, or for Health & Safety and HR purposes.
Organised filing, speed of retrieval and clear retention policies will embed good practices into your business with Invu Document Management. Control of your processes and documents with a secure audit trail will also ensure robust compliance.
Increase Security
Organisations also face ongoing data security concerns – and these threats on key information and documents can be external or internal. Invu Document Management data is encrypted, access to documents can be protected, and there’s always a full audit trail to establish document access and actions.
You’ll also protect vulnerable paper documents, as well as your emails and MS Office documents.
Benefits of Invu
Invu Link Share
Securely sharing documents is a vital part of all job functions. This is where the Invu Link Share functionality comes in: a simple, secure and GDPR compliant way of sharing documents stored within Invu.
Users can send a link containing up to 25 documents to one or more people, and the receiver does not need to be an Invu user. All sent documents can be revoked at any time, and all users can see if a document has been sent out and where. Take back control of external document sharing with Invu Link Share.
Invu Link Share comes with all Invu Document Management systems as standard.

Invu Workflow
Documents sit at the heart of so many working practices, containing key data for decision making and operational activities. But managing them with manual processes often translates to wasteful and inefficient activities, which are prone to being bypassed and subject to bottlenecks.

It’s based on the same technology as a high-end SharePoint workflow system, so it’s an adaptable, powerful integration tool.
With Invu Workflow, documents can be automatically routed between departments and authorisers to handle different process stages, for example, review, approve, escalation based on content or simply notifications. Processes can be designed to run in parallel or in series, and can transfer bundles of data as easily as single documents.
Invu Workflow lets you route your documents around your organisation in a predefined, quick and simple way, reducing the time spent waiting for documents to be signed, internal post or wasting time searching for that elusive invoice on someone’s desk. You will see all stages of the approval process and you can view each document transaction from your computer.
All documents are stored in a predefined, controlled, and auditable manner with the ability to apply timescales, priorities or actions to each document. You can see tasks in your personal work tray with prompts to ensure timely action. Tasks are automatically forwarded to the next person ensuring your regular business processes are completed.
With Invu Workflow, you will be able to connect your business processes and systems, giving you rapid and accurate access to your documents from your line of business tools for improved collaboration.

Invu Email Manager
Invu Email Manager is a powerful way to ensure that business emails stay locked into your organisation. As email volumes rise year on year, so does the time spent managing them – and so does the risk of losing key information in the email deluge. So often, what should be an essential business asset is not available to the wider team, buried in an individual’s inbox or, even worse, a local hard drive.
With our email management software, you can set up a range of rules to capture key information as it enters the organisation and to store it automatically in your document management system. Quietly, automatically behind the scenes, handling duplicates, working with multiple accounts and capturing attachments, Invu Email Manager is a flexible route to ensuring that you’re one step closer to complete email management.
Tame your email
Email volumes are rising year on year, leading to increased operational pressure. In 8 years, worldwide email volumes increased by over 2,000%! Yet it is generally the least managed. For desk-based workers, up to 40% of the day is spent managing emails, a sizeable proportion of which are copied mails, leading to duplication of effort.
Despite being at the heart of IT systems and many operational processes, email is typically unregulated. Key documents and emails arrive into your organisation and often are only available via the recipient’s inbox.
Even worse, many of us file emails locally, creating information silos unavailable to the rest of the organisation and vulnerable in case of hardware failure. In this situation, the document and associated mail is no longer an available business asset but simply a personal message. This is intellectual capital, potentially valuable to your organisation, be it for knowledge mining or, in the worse case, to establish traceability in the event of legal action.
Invu Email Manager is an essential and powerful supplement to your Document Management system. Invu Email Manager flags up emails that have already been processed elsewhere in the organisation, resulting in potentially high time and cost savings. Whether buried in an attachment, stored locally or given an obscure subject, we all struggle to find elusive correspondence or documentation even though it’s already close to hand in Outlook. This frustration will become a thing of the past with Invu Email Manager.
