Document management for companies in Romania

Archive every company document electronically, register it automatically in the registry, route it through the internal approval circuit and find it again in seconds by what's written in it — not by the file name. Legal retention periods run on their own, and whatever must be deleted is deleted when it falls due.

  • Records kept for the periods you set
  • Full-text search across document content
  • Scheduled deletion, GDPR-compliant

Definición

¿Qué es un sistema de gestión documental (DMS)?

Un sistema de gestión documental es la aplicación en la que una empresa guarda todos sus documentos en formato electrónico: los registra, los clasifica, los envía a un circuito de aprobación, los busca por sus datos y por su contenido digital, y los conserva el tiempo que la empresa haya fijado para cada tipo de documento. Reemplaza la combinación habitual de carpetas físicas, una carpeta compartida en una computadora y un libro de registro llevado en planilla.

4docs.net es un sistema de este tipo, pensado para la práctica de las empresas paraguayas: archivo electrónico sobre un cuadro de clasificación por series, registro de entrada y salida con numeración automática, circuitos de aprobación con plazo por paso y un calendario de conservación que la empresa configura para cada serie documental.

Ventajas y límites

Qué gana y qué debe tener en cuenta

Ventajas

  • Encuentra cualquier documento en segundos, por sus datos y por el texto digital que contiene.
  • El número de registro se asigna solo: desaparece el libro de registro paralelo en planilla.
  • Los plazos de conservación los vigila el sistema, no la memoria de una persona.
  • Los documentos dejan de circular como adjuntos: queda una sola versión, con su historial.
  • Se reduce de forma notable el espacio de archivo físico y el tiempo perdido buscando papeles.
  • Ante un control, tiene al momento la lista de documentos, quién los abrió y cuándo.

Límites que conviene conocer

  • Migrar el archivo antiguo lleva tiempo: digitalizar el papel sigue siendo trabajo real, interno o con un proveedor.
  • Los escaneos se encuentran por sus datos de registro; la búsqueda dentro del contenido vale para documentos con texto digital.
  • El cuadro de clasificación conviene pensarlo una vez, con criterio. Si se improvisa, encontrar documentos sigue siendo difícil.
  • Digitalizar no reemplaza todas las obligaciones: la empresa decide qué originales en papel conserva y responde por sus plazos legales y por la protección de los datos personales. El software lo facilita, no lo sustituye.
Cómo funciona

Cómo funciona 4docs.net, en 4 pasos

  1. Defina el cuadro de clasificación

    Enumere los tipos de documento que circulan de verdad (facturas recibidas, notas de remisión, planillas de sueldos, correspondencia, actas) y agrúpelos en series. Asigne a cada serie su plazo de conservación y su regla de supresión.

  2. Registre los documentos

    Cada documento recibe número de registro de entrada o salida, fecha, área y responsable. Los digitales se buscan por su texto; los escaneados, por sus datos de registro.

  3. Envíelo al circuito de aprobación

    Elija el recorrido por áreas. Cada paso tiene plazo y responsable, y el estado del documento se ve en tiempo real, sin preguntar por mensajes.

  4. Consérvelo el tiempo fijado y suprímalo de forma documentada

    Al vencer el plazo, el sistema propone la supresión. La eliminación se decide, queda anotada en el historial de accesos y respeta la protección de los datos personales.

SharePoint y los DMS instalados en la propia empresa cubren necesidades parecidas, pero requieren licencias, configuración y un administrador dedicado. El archivo físico sigue siendo útil para los originales en papel que la empresa decida guardar. La firma electrónica y la gestión de contratos no entran en esta comparación: 4docs.net gestiona el archivo documental, no emite facturas ni firma contratos.

4docs.net in the 4b2b network

The company's document archive sits alongside the applications you already use: documents are uploaded from the panel or imported from a folder, each one gets a number, a due date and an approval circuit, and alerts about deadlines and approvals reach you by SMS or WhatsApp, only if you have opted in. See all 4b2b platforms

  • It comes in from several routesA scanned PDF, a file uploaded in the panel, a bulk import from a folder, or an upload link through which a sender delivers a file — the document lands in the same register, with the same registration number.
  • One single version remainsAttachments stop circulating. Colleagues get a link to the document, with the rights of their role, and the history stays intact.
  • Deadlines don't slip byRetention periods and due dates are visible in the panel. If you turn on alerts, the company gets an SMS or a WhatsApp message before a deadline expires.

You find the document by what is written inside it, not by the file name

Search covers the text already in each document: digital files and PDFs with a text layer. Scans without a text layer are not read automatically and need a text layer or a manual check. You type an amount, a supplier name or a number off a five-year-old sheet of paper and you get the document, the page and the file it sits in — including for digital files uploaded before you moved to 4docs.net.

The search covers only documents your role has access to.

Frequently asked questions about document management

Concrete answers about electronic archiving of company documents, the registry with automatic numbering, the internal approval circuit, OCR and full-text search, legal retention periods and GDPR-compliant disposal on schedule.

What does "legally-valid archiving" actually mean?
It means the electronically archived document can be relied on against a third party — a regulator, a court, an auditor — because you can demonstrate it hasn't been altered since archiving. In practice four things are required: reliable identification of the document (a cryptographic fingerprint / hash), the date and time of archiving recorded by the system, mandatory metadata that describes the document, and an access log showing who did what with it.
Does the 4docs archive completely replace the paper archive?
It depends on the document type, and this calls for caution. Romanian archiving law provides for a regime in which the archived electronic document produces the same effects as the original, but that regime has its own conditions. 4docs keeps the fingerprint, metadata and complete log of each document, but it is not an accredited provider and does not carry out in your place the obligations that fall on the company. Where the law expressly requires keeping the paper original, our recommendation is a mixed archive: the original is kept, and 4docs becomes the tool through which you find it in seconds.
What is the records retention schedule, and why do you insist on it?
It's the list of document categories a company creates, each with its own retention period. Archive regulations expect it from the creators and holders of documents, and it is, in practice, the backbone of the archive: without it you can't justify why you deleted one document or why you're still keeping another. In 4docs the records schedule is configurable, and the retention period is applied automatically to every new document in that category.
Can archived documents be modified afterward?
No. Once archived, the file becomes uneditable: any correction is made through a new version, linked to the previous one, and the initial version stays in the archive. Every version has its own cryptographic fingerprint, so you can verify at any time that the file you download today is bit-for-bit identical to the one archived three years ago.
Where are documents physically stored?
On the 4b2b ecosystem's infrastructure. Access is protected by login and by roles and rights. The exact location of the servers and the backup regime must be requested from the provider in writing.
Do you also manage the company's contracts, with electronic signing?
No. 4docs is a document management system: archive, registry, internal circuit, full-text search, retention. Contract lifecycle management and digital signing are covered by a separate application in the ecosystem, 4mycontracts.net — for contracts and digital signing, that is the right place. A contract signed there can be archived here, with its retention period and the company's access rights.
How does automatic numbering in the registry work?
Every document entering or leaving the company gets a unique registration number, assigned automatically, in strictly increasing order, together with the date and time. The number can't be reused and can't be skipped: if an entry is cancelled, it stays visible in the register marked "cancelled", exactly like a crossed-out line in a paper register. You can have separate registers by work point or by type (incoming, outgoing, internal), each with its own series and optional annual reset.
Can I also register correspondence received by email?
Yes, but manually. The register has no e-mail address of its own, and 4docs does not receive e-mails automatically: you save the message or attachment as a file (for example an exported e-mail), upload it, and fill in the number, date and sender when you register it.
