Document Automation

What is document automation?

Document automation replaces manual document creation with intelligent, template-driven processes. Instead of copying data from systems into Word, documents are generated automatically with accurate, real-time data from your CRM, ERP and other business applications.

How Documentaal works

Documentaal operates 100% within Microsoft 365. Users never leave their familiar Word environment. Our platform adds three layers on top of standard Word:

• Smart Templates: Templates with content controls, conditional logic and automated data fields
• Data Integration: Real-time connections to CRM, ERP, databases and APIs
• Governance: Centralized management, version control, brand compliance and analytics

Documentaal vs. alternatives

Combined with deep CRM/ERP integrations and enterprise-grade governance, Documentaal is the modern choice for Microsoft-centric organizations.
