    In shortThe problemFeaturesIntegrationsApplicationsHow it worksQuestions

    In short

    dox42 is a document automation platform that generates quotes, contracts, invoices, reports and presentations from business data. Templates are designed in Word, Excel or PowerPoint without programming, and dox42 fills them with data from Dynamics 365, SAP, SharePoint, M-Files, databases and web services. Output can be PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, email or print. SoftAdvice implements and supports dox42 in the BeNeLux.

    The problem

    Creating documents manually costs you more than you think

    Quotes, contracts and reports are often assembled by hand from several systems. Every manual step adds risk, takes time away from clients and lets each team drift into its own style.

    Without dox42

    • Copy-paste errors: wrong client data, outdated prices or incorrect specifications in quotes and contracts
    • Hours lost every week assembling documents from multiple systems
    • Brand inconsistency: every team creates documents its own way

    With dox42

    • Data flows straight from Dynamics 365, SAP, SharePoint or M-Files into the document
    • Documents are generated automatically, so time goes to clients again
    • Every document follows the same template and brand style
    What dox42 does

    Document automation without coding

    dox42 combines familiar Office templates with live data from your systems, and delivers the result in the format you need.

    No-code template design

    Design templates in Word, Excel and PowerPoint with drag-and-drop data sources. Business users create and modify templates themselves, without IT.

    Multi-source data integration

    Combine data from Dynamics 365, SAP, SharePoint, SQL, web services, XML/JSON and Excel in a single document. dox42 manages all dependencies automatically.

    Every output format

    Generate PDF, PDF/A, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, email or print. Save automatically to SharePoint with metadata, send by email or sign digitally.

    REST/SOAP API

    Integrate dox42 into any system via REST or SOAP web services. Trigger document generation from websites, workflows, Power Automate, chatbots or custom applications.

    Dynamic content

    Tables, charts, images, barcodes, QR codes, text conditions and calculations, all filled dynamically from your data sources, including subdocuments.

    Enterprise-grade security

    GDPR compliant with end-to-end encryption and Azure AD authentication. No data is stored on the server. Deploy in the cloud, on-premises or hybrid.

    Seamless integrations

    dox42 works with the systems you already use

    Connect one or several of these systems as data sources, or trigger document generation from them.

    How it works

    From template to document in three steps

    SoftAdvice sets up dox42, connects your systems and helps your team build the first templates. After that, your business users maintain them.

    Design your template

    Build templates in Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Connect data sources by drag-and-drop in the dox42 Data Map Designer.

    Connect your systems

    Link Dynamics 365, SAP, SharePoint, M-Files, databases or web services as a data source. Combine several sources per document.

    Generate automatically

    Trigger document generation from your application, workflow or API. Output as PDF, Word, email or print.
