File it and sort it
Documents arrive from a mailbox, a scanner, a watched folder or a line-of-business system. Classification determines type and sender, and that decides the place in the archive.
Process archiving
Archived the moment it arrives. Deleted when the term ends.
Records have to stay available for years and then disappear. PaperOffice runs both ends as a rule.
Retention per document type, a checksum per version, a log entry for every access and deletion.
No credit card Retention per document type Every access logged
Trusted by leading companies worldwide
OEM PARTNERSHIP
Hardware giants choose PaperOffice exclusively.
How it works
From arrival to deletion date.
An archive is not a folder, it is a rule: what may enter, how long it stays, who was allowed to see it and when it goes.
Set the term, secure the file
Every type carries a retention rule: duration, start date and owner. Each version gets a SHA-256 checksum, and later edits become a new version instead of an overwrite.
Review, evidence, delete
The system speaks up before the term ends. For an audit you can export inventory, versions and access log. After approval the file is deleted and the event stays in the log.
Ways into the archive
- Workspace automation Every released document in the workspace triggers the filing rule.
- Email mailbox A watched mailbox takes in receipts and supporting records.
- Webhook Your system reports a closed case and the archive takes over.
- Web app Inspect inventory, versions, terms and log in the browser.
- REST API Archive documents and set retention from your own application.
- MCP Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor query the archive inventory directly.
What this solution covers
An archive means findable and provable.
An archive is judged during an audit. These are the points PaperOffice covers for that moment.
- A rule, not a habit
Storage location, term and owner follow the document type, not the person who happens to file it.
- Type and term detected
Classification determines document type, sender and direction and proposes the matching retention rule.
- Your own storage
The archive lives in PaperOffice or on your NAS, server or object storage, connected over SFTP, WebDAV or S3.
- Approval before deletion
Before the term expires the case goes to a named person. Nothing is deleted without that approval.
- Export for an audit
Inventory, metadata, versions and log can be handed over as a record set for a tax or compliance audit.
- Versions and access
Every version is kept, and every view and change carries a timestamp and a person in the log.
- Checksum per version
SHA-256 over each version shows whether a file has changed since it was filed.
- Retention calendar
Expiring terms show up as a task with lead time instead of getting lost in a spreadsheet.
What PaperOffice solves it with
Six building blocks, one archive.
Archiving uses the same modules as day-to-day filing. There is no second system to maintain.
AI-DMS The AI-DMS holds documents, versions and metadata and forms the base of the archive. Classification Classification recognises type, direction and sender and derives folder and retention from them. Audit Center The Audit Center logs every access and change and rates anything unusual. Storage Mounts Storage Mounts connect NAS, servers and cloud storage when the files should stay with you. Workspaces Workspaces separate clients, departments and projects with their own rights and security level. Smart Search Smart search finds archived documents by content instead of by file name.
Security and compliance
The archive stays in the EU.
An archive is measured by two questions: is the content unchanged, and can you show it.
EU data centerISO 27001SOC 2 Type IIGDPR
Security and compliance Location
Processing and storage in our own EU data centers, no US cloud.
Encryption
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit.
Immutability
SHA-256 per version, and edits create a new version instead of overwriting the old one.
Traceability
Access, approvals and deletions with person and timestamp in the audit trail.
Questions about archiving
What to settle before the first rule.
Does this make our filing audit-proof?
Rules such as the German GoBD ask for traceability, immutability and orderly retention. PaperOffice supplies versions, checksums, an access log and retention terms. Whether your process as a whole satisfies your regulator is a judgement for your tax advisor, based on your process documentation.
How long does a document have to stay?
That depends on the type and your legal framework: under German law eight years for accounting records such as invoices and bank statements, ten years for ledgers, inventories and annual accounts, six years for business letters. You set the term per document type once, and the system calculates the deletion date from there.
What happens when the term ends?
The document appears as a task for the responsible person with lead time. Deletion happens only after approval, and the event remains in the log even once the file itself is gone.
Can we bring in an existing archive?
Yes. Existing stock can be read in through folder monitoring, Storage Mounts or the API. Type and term are determined during import, and unclear cases land in a review list instead of passing silently.
Can somebody change an archived document?
A change creates a new version and the previous one stays. The checksum shows for every version whether it is unchanged since filing, and the log records who saw which version and when.
What does an auditor get to see?
You define the period and document types under review and export inventory, metadata and log as a record set. Auditor access can be limited to a single workspace.
Where is the data stored?
In our own data centers in the EU. If the files must not leave your building, the archive stays on your NAS or server through Storage Mounts and PaperOffice works on it there.
