Overview
Your Synology already holds everything. Invoices, contracts, delivery notes. Eighty thousand documents, safely stored — and completely useless, because a file server cannot read. Connect PaperOffice AI, and that changes in three steps.
Connect
On the Synology, switch on SFTP. In PaperOffice, add the NAS as a storage mount and choose your encryption password. Done. Nothing is installed on your device, and every document lands on it, packed in 7-Zip with AES encryption.
Capture and read
From now on, everything arrives in one place. Your mailbox, the scanner, a watched folder, an upload, the API. And every page gets read. Supplier, invoice number, amount, due date — each field with a confidence score. No templates, no zones to draw.
Organize and decide
Your archive organizes itself. Document types, retention periods, folders, tags, versions. Filter by status, by type, by date, by signature, by anything the engine has found.
Open a document and it is all there: the fields that were extracted, every version, every comment, and a check-out, so two people never overwrite each other’s work.
Then your rules take over. If the invoice matches the order, it is checked and booked. If something does not add up, it goes to a person — not into the ledger.
Sign, find, prove
Send it out for signature and get it back sealed, with a certificate and a timeline of who did what, and when.
And you will find it again. By word, or by meaning. Ask for the Rotterdam transport from September, and it comes back — even when those words appear nowhere in the file.
Every access, every change, every download is recorded. Hand that to an auditor and the conversation is over.
Web, mobile and AI client
All of it, from wherever you are. The web app in any browser, on any platform, with nothing to install. The mobile app, to scan and upload on the move.
And from your AI client. Add PaperOffice as an MCP connector, and Claude or ChatGPT is talking to your Synology. Ask a question, get the answer with its source. Then tell it to act — and it acts.
For developers
If you build software, this is where it gets serious. We are API and MCP first. 923 tools behind one key: 414 that read, 509 that write. Webhooks, your own workflows, your own agents. Build whatever you want on top of your Synology.
One platform
And it does not stop at documents. Relations, help desk, analytics, knowledge bases. Calendars, human review, electronic signatures. Imports and storage. Same key, same permissions, same trail.
Everything companies do with documents. One platform. Built for companies. Ready for AI agents.
Your hardware
And the bytes never move house. They stay on your hardware, encrypted with your password. Add a second Synology as a mirror, and every document is written to both, automatically.
Supercharge your Synology.
