Metrofile launches docuForce and helps businesses eliminate document chaos

Metrofile has launched docuForce, a document management and workflow automation platform that unifies paper and digital records with secure storage, compliant e-signatures and automated workflows.

According to Brad Dallas, the solution helps businesses improve compliance, reduce document-handling costs by up to 70% and streamline document management from capture to audit.

Johannesburg, South Africa – 29 June 2026 - Metrofile today announced the launch of docuForce, a comprehensive document management and workflow automation platform purpose-built for businesses that need to bring order, security and compliance to operational documents.

A Smarter Approach to Document Management

Brad Dallas, Managing Director, Metrofile says:

“As businesses continue to grapple with growing volumes of both physical and digital information, inefficient filing systems, and increasing regulatory requirements, docuForce delivers a smarter approach to managing this information throughout the entire lifecycle.”

He says that implementations go live in weeks rather than months and businesses can reduce document-handling costs by between 40% and 70%.

Every business runs on documents: contracts, invoices, HR files, compliance records, approvals and signoffs.

In most organisations those files end up scattered across paper, shared drives, email attachments and cloud folders.

Approvals stall in in-boxes, signatures delay deals, and audit and compliance readiness becomes a constant source of risk.

docuForce is designed to close these document gaps in a business by managing the entire document lifecycle from capture to compliance, all in one place.

docuForce handles paper and electronic files in a single platform.

Documents are digitised, captured and organised; workflows for approvals and reviews are automated so nothing gets stuck; documents are signed using secure, legally compliant e-signatures; and everything is stored in access-controlled, audit-ready cloud storage that can be retrieved in seconds rather than hours.

Compliance, Security and Digital Signatures at the Core

For businesses, the platform’s value is concentrated in three areas that keep risk and finance teams up at night:

Compliance and audit readiness.

Every document carries detailed audit trails, version history and retention controls, giving organisations a defensible, audit-ready record across their entire document estate.

Security.

Sensitive information is protected through encryption, user-level access controls and full audit trails, reducing the risk of lost, leaked or damaged documents.

Digital signatures.

docuForce’s e-signature capability is legally compliant, multi-device and fully traceable, allowing businesses to close deals and obtain signoffs faster without printing, scanning or couriering paper.

The platform also supports electronic document exchange, creating and sharing structured, unstructured and legally formalised documents entirely in electronic format and integrates with email, ERP and CRM systems to capture electronic documents at source.

Built for the Way Teams Work

docuForce is aimed at any business that spends time chasing approvals, filing paperwork or searching through email.

It is designed to “meet businesses where they are” whether they are paper-heavy, fully digital or somewhere in between, and serves functions across HR, finance, operations, procurement, sales, legal and compliance, and IT.

Because the platform is delivered as an outsourced, managed service, businesses avoid hiring specialist staff, buying and maintaining technology, and building processes from scratch.

Implementations can go live in weeks rather than months and businesses can reduce document-handling costs by between 40% and 70%.
