The Document Layer for Your Software | Arhivix
Platform

The document layer your dashboard is missing.

Most teams bolt a file bucket onto their product and call it document management. Arhivix is the layer underneath: it captures documents, stores them reliably and compliantly, and hands structured, AI-ready information back to your software.

Storage remembers nothing. A layer remembers everything.

01

Process

Capture documents from any source, then read, classify, and extract the fields that matter. Raw files become structured data.

02

Store reliably

Encrypted at rest, kept in the EU, versioned, and retained to the legal clock. Nothing is lost, nothing leaks, everything is auditable.

03

Return intelligence

Search, answers, summaries, and structured fields flow back into your dashboard through one API. The layer gives documents meaning, not just storage.

The problem

A file bucket is not a document strategy.

Storage keeps bytes. It does not keep meaning.

When a custom dashboard needs documents, the usual answer is a storage bucket and an upload button. It works on day one. By month six it is a graveyard: thousands of PDFs and scans no one can search, with no idea which version is current, who opened what, or how long anything must legally be kept.

The information your team actually needs (an amount, a deadline, a counterparty, a clause) is locked inside files your software cannot read. Every answer means a human opening a document by hand. The dashboard shows file names, not knowledge.

A document layer closes that gap. It sits between your application and your files, turns every document into queryable data, and keeps the whole archive compliant while it does.

One layer between your app and your documents.

A warehouse keeps the box. A librarian knows what is inside.

Arhivix is not another dashboard to log into. It is infrastructure your dashboard calls. Documents go in, intelligence comes out, and the archive stays compliant in between.

Your dashboard Your product, your interface, your users.

Arhivix layer Capture, store, understand. One API.

01

From raw file to structured data.

Every document that enters the layer is read and understood, not just parked.

1

Capture from anywhere

Upload, email, mobile scan, or API. The layer accepts PDFs, images, and office files and normalizes them into one pipeline.

2

Read with OCR

Text is extracted from scans and photos, so even a phone snapshot of an invoice becomes machine readable.

3

Classify

Each document is recognized for what it is: an invoice, a contract, a delivery note, a statement. Routing and rules follow automatically.

4

Extract fields

Amounts, dates, parties, identifiers, and line items are pulled into clean structured fields your dashboard can use directly.

02

An archive you can trust, not just a folder.

The same storage that powers Arhivix security, available to whatever you build.

Encrypted by default AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. On for every file, with no setting to forget.
EU data residency Documents are stored in the European Union on AWS and replicated across two EU regions.
Versioned Every change is a new version. The current document is always clear, and earlier states are never overwritten.
Retention aware Keep each document type for the legal period it requires, then dispose of it on schedule with a record of the action.
Fully auditable Every view, edit, download, and share is logged per user and per document, ready for an inspection.
03

Your dashboard asks. The layer answers.

Once documents are processed and stored, their meaning is available to your application on demand.

Structured fields

Read extracted values as clean JSON: totals, due dates, tax IDs, line items. Populate your screens without opening a single file.

Semantic search

Find documents by what they mean, not just by file name. Search across the whole archive in one call.

Document questions

Ask a question in plain language and get an answer grounded in the actual documents, with the source cited.

Summaries and alerts

Summarize long contracts and push events back to your app, such as a deadline approaching or a new document arriving.

Most document tools read the page and walk away.

An extraction API hands back JSON and forgets the file. A layer keeps custody of the document for its whole life.

Extraction-only API Arhivix document layer
The document itself Parsed, then discarded Stored and encrypted in the EU
Versions and history Not kept Every version retained
Retention and disposal Left to you to build Enforced to the legal clock
Audit trail None Every access logged
Jurisdiction Often routed through the US EU residency by design

Extraction is the easy part. Keeping the document, provably, for years is the part that holds up in an audit.

Three calls, not a rebuild.

You keep your stack and your interface. Arhivix becomes the document brain behind it, reached over a simple API.

1

Ingest

Send a document to the layer. It is stored, encrypted, and queued for processing in one request.

2

Process

The layer reads, classifies, and extracts. Wait for the result, or receive a webhook when it is ready.

3

Query

Ask for fields, run a search, or pose a question. The intelligence returns as structured data your dashboard renders.

POST /v1/documents
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_***

}

One layer, many dashboards.

Any product where documents carry the real information benefits from a layer that understands them.

Accounting and finance

Turn incoming invoices and statements into posted entries, with amounts and dates extracted and the originals archived to the retention clock.

Property and facilities

Keep leases, certificates, and inspection reports searchable, with renewal dates surfaced before they lapse.

Legal and compliance

Make contract clauses queryable, answer questions across a matter, and prove who accessed what and when.

Operations portals

Give an internal portal a document memory: every delivery note, permit, and form captured, understood, and instantly retrievable.

Healthcare and patient intake

Referrals and lab PDFs arrive as files a person has to retype into the record. The layer extracts the referring physician, diagnosis, and urgency, then keeps the original encrypted in the EU with retention and a full access log, the part health-data audits actually demand.

The layer is compliant before you write a line of code.

Encryption, EU residency, and audit logging are built in, so what you build inherits them.

Frequently asked questions

Is Arhivix a product or a platform?

Both. The full Arhivix application is ready to use, and the same document layer underneath it can be built on directly when you want documents inside your own dashboard.

Where are the documents stored?

In the European Union, on AWS, encrypted with AES-256 and replicated across two EU regions. Documents do not leave the EU under normal operations.

What does the layer return to my application?

Structured fields extracted from each document, semantic search results, answers to plain-language questions grounded in the documents, and summaries, all as structured data over an API.

Do I have to move my existing system to Arhivix?

No. The layer sits behind whatever you already run. Your interface and workflows stay in place and call the layer for capture, storage, and intelligence.

What is intelligent document processing, and how is it different from OCR?

OCR turns an image into text. Intelligent document processing goes further: it classifies the document, understands its structure, and extracts the specific fields you need as structured data. Arhivix adds the parts OCR and extraction leave out, namely compliant storage, retention, and audit.

Does the layer store the documents, or just extract the data?

It stores them. Unlike extraction-only APIs that parse a file and discard it, Arhivix keeps the document encrypted in the EU, versioned, retained to its legal clock, and audited. Extraction is one part of the layer, not the whole of it.

What is a headless or embedded document layer?

It means document capture, storage, and intelligence run behind your own application through an API, instead of in a separate product your users log into. Your interface stays yours, and Arhivix is the layer underneath it.

Your documents are alive now. They move on their own.
