Policies and Procedures

Implement AODocs As Your Centralized Policy Management System

Create, collaborate on, approve and deploy your policies and procedures. Collect staff acknowledgment, and train your employees with AODocs.

Business Process and Document Management for Policies and Procedures

Organizations are often managing policies or the collection of staff acknowledgment manually with emails and spreadsheets. These companies are exposed to losing control over the various versions of policies and, ultimately, risk employees using and applying outdated instructions. Consequences range from simply wasting time and resources to being found liable and fined for non-compliance.

A Centralized Repository

AODocs Policies and Procedures management tool can help you manage your policies and procedures in a centralized repository with advanced version control, document validation workflow, and tracking of acknowledgment.

AODocs handles everything from document creation, drafting, review, and approvals, all the way through to internal publication, acknowledgment collection, and post-publication management. This includes updates, revision approval and version management.

Company rules and procedures are the backbones of every department or business unit

Be it HR, legal, compliance, quality, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, procurement, or communication, streamlining and automating your policies and procedure management dramatically reduces time to publication, maximizes end-user adoption all while ensuring that only the right versions are published and approved from day one. Your teams will save time and effort on each step while acquiring total confidence in their compliance.

The only Policies and Procedures management tool made for Google Workspace, balancing collaboration and control

AODocs is built on top of Google Drive and leverages Google's real-time collaboration and user experience. AODocs becomes part of your Workspace environment and lets your teams collaborate in real-time to create or update their policies.
