Document management allows for things such as images, brochures, manuals, certificates, plans, signatures, licences, etc. to be easily stored and located against jobs, stock, quotes, card files and more.

As an example, to attach a relevant document to a job (a service bulletin, for instance), you can simply drag the file from Windows File Explorer and drop it directly onto the job. You can also copy and paste from your clipboard.
