SMASHDOCs is a highly efficient document creation and collaboration web application. It allows you to keep track of changes and manage user roles of contributors to a document in real time. It's a sophisticated solution that makes it simpler and faster to write and review documents. As well as keeping a comprehensive record of all changes made on one single collaboration platform. Revolutionising the way in which documents are created enabling a much smoother and fluid process.

The fact of the matter is that content management is becoming of increasing concern. A lot of so called document editors are first and foremost word processors with other features such as collaboration given as an afterthought. SMASHDOCs has been developed to concisely target these underlying issues such as the ability to handle multiple content contributors. It does this seamlessly and intelligently, allowing for complex document creation on a single version, in real time and much faster.

SMASHDOCs is suitable for companies in every industry all over the world. Due to various applications, you can use SMASHDOCs for creating, editing and producing (almost) every document type. Moreover, the range of individual export formats ensures a simple and global usage of the produced documents.

To put it bluntly: all.
SMASHDOCs is suited for creating, editing and producing various document types in a very simple way, e.g. contracts, concepts, manuals, business plans and press releases.

Simply put it is the extent to which SMASHDOCs really focuses on the aspect of intelligent content and collaboration. You have to imagine the ludicrous amounts of e-mails sent back and forward and the numerous versions accumulated just to create one document. SMASHDOCs allows you to completely do away with this rather clumsy way of working.

It is not aimed at any particular market or exclusive sector. Its is a very dynamic and flexible application that can be used across various departments and industries.

We think MS Word and Co. are great, as long as you don't have to work collaboratively with it ;-)
You can import documents in docx. format and edit them with SMASHDOCs in a faster and better way with other users. SMASHDOCs creates wonderfully formatted Word documents, and compliments it very well when exporting documents from it. It would however be best if working on entirely new document, that needs to be be collaborated on, to avoid Word as the need for multiple version will eventually arise. Basically SMASHDOCs can be used a word processor in its own right, with the added benefits of intelligent content collaboration.
