Docmosis Reviews

We are a B2B cloud service provider offering SaaS solutions to the UK energy industry. Our billing products require various forms of end customer communication. If our customer does not have their own solution in place for rendering documents, we recommend Docmosis.

Our software operates in a serverless (AWS Lambda) environment so a web service for this was clearly important and inline with our technology strategy.

We use the product for two main functions:

1. PDF rendering of bills and other documentation aimed at our customer's customers. Bills in particular can be complex documents that also need to be presented clearly, smartly, and on brand.
2. HTML rendering for emails.

Having a robust, simple, cost-effective rendering solution integrated into our own products increases our attractiveness to customers. It is also vital to our architecture that the software follows our cloud strategy.

Our customers benefit by being able to be extremely agile in changing the flat text in any of their communications. Their operations are made easier by having up-to-date messaging. 

During the COVID-19 crisis they were able to author and implement vital messaging to their customers in a single day.

For startups, having a cost model that grows as they do is essential.

Generating PDF documents to serve as an audit trail capture of UI-driven accounting decisions.

After years of fighting with Actuate, Brio, and Crystal Reports to produce nicely formatted reports, we finally bailed and built our own reporting engine using Apache POI.  Unfortunately, POI did not lend itself well to complex, formatted PDF documents, much less allowing for WYSIWYG editing of report templates using familiar tools like Word.  Docmosis gave us the missing component for our document generation solution.

Without doubt, the most valuable feature is the ability to operate and work within Microsoft Word, our default word editing program. When the rest of the organization is dealing with templates and Word format, it's nice to be able to use that as the system artifact that goes into generating the end results. We used to get our requirements in Word templates, then we'd have to do the costly conversion to XSLT templates, which was time-consuming and we never got it to look the way the business wanted it according to the Word template.

So the biggest the day-to-day benefits are working through a medium that can be universally used from requirements gathering all the way to a run-time and generating documents.

We're now live with one instance of generating documents, we're committed, and we've got the architecture and infrastructure to add more templates and migrate our old ones. We didn't realize it initially, but once we setup up our platform around Docmosis, we've registered new templates, merged data, and created PDFs.

When I get requirements and other templates from my business counterparts, the time to development has been reduced dramatically. My initial projections are that we have an 80% improvement in that process. Any company's engineering and software teams of specialists are highly prized and valuable, so they no longer have to do the boring, tedious content creation of translating Word templates into XSLT. Docmosis has really freed up our capacity to do some real work.

We integrated Docmosis Cloud service into our custom software application developed for medical analysis. We have been using Docmosis Cloud service for the past six years. We were able to generate complex detailed reports to display the results of medical testing. The reports have a complex layout with multiple table/header structures. The Docmosis template based approach was ideal to generate these reports and make any changes quickly. 

The Docmosis solution was ideal to handle our use case. To generate these same tabular formatted reports with a code-only solution would have taken a lot longer to implement than the Docmosis template based approach. Docmosis templates were easier to design as we were able to use Microsoft Word to create them. The templates made it easy to make any changes to reports and provided flexibility in our design approach. We were able to generate real-time multiple page PDF reports from our application, which were well-formatted. The process of adding any new report is also fairly simple with Docmosis Cloud service.

Evac Guide is an online tool that allows organisations to create and manage all their workplace emergency planning documents in one place.

Initially, we did HTML web page to PDF conversions of documents and that proved to be a lot of work with hard coding. 

We persevered for 12 months until it got beyond a certain point. We just didn’t have the flexibility in the formatting that we required. Then we found Docmosis which can do the PDF conversions for us. Now, we don’t even look back at doing it any other way.

I work for a company that has a web app solution for tracking and managing leases - primarily equipment and hardware leases. Reporting is a major part of the lease tracking and data management offered by our system, and PDF documents that we generate using Docmosis are used on a daily basis by the clients.

Since our initial development, this feature has required very little maintenance. And when changes are requested, it is rather easy to change a Word document template and new staff can be quickly trained to modify a report.

A new report’s template creation is very often manipulation of a user’s layout of a report. A report can be ready in a day or less, once stored procedures are created as per sections in the report.

Our primary use case is to make it easier for HR teams to generate HR documents for employees via an intuitive user interface and in a few clicks. In this context, we need a document generation solution embedded within our product which allows us to generate documents from preconfigured document templates with a rich syntax (conditional sections, mathematical functions, date, and number). Data is then retrieved from the different HRISs and fetched with the document template in order to fill the generated document. 

The product is currently very complete and meets the majority of our use cases.

Globally, the ability to create document templates in several formats by using a rich syntax is simple and clear to understand. 

We are a Fintech company, and Docmosis is utilized in order to render loan and other financial documents.

It is a straight forward, cost effective, solution for rendering PDF documents. It saved us time and money due to its ease of use, Java api, and clear documentation.
