How EDocM – Electronic Document Management Software by goPLIMS centralises, secures, and governs all your project files in a single, access-controlled platform — natively embedded in your goPLIMS environment.

Electronic Document Management

Scattered email attachments, uncontrolled shared drives, and version confusion are among the most persistent — and costly — problems in complex project environments.

EDocM by goPLIMS eliminates all of that with a centralised, access-controlled document repository that is natively integrated into your goPLIMS project platform — so your team always has the right file, in the right place, with exactly the right level of access.

What is EDocM?

EDocM is a centralised, access-controlled electronic document management system seamlessly integrated into the goPLIMS project and work management platform. It enables both internal and external team members to easily share, track, and manage all electronic files in one secure, organised location — without ever leaving their project environment.

With EDocM, you can create multiple custom folder structures, define granular access levels based on project management roles, and efficiently govern all documents across teams, workstreams, and project phases. It also supports collaborative editing of Microsoft documents directly within the platform, making it a complete, end-to-end document workspace.

Natively Embedded in goPLIMS

EDocM is not a standalone tool — it is built directly into your goPLIMS environment, connecting document management to your active projects, workflows, and teams from a single, unified platform.

What You Can Do with EDocM

EDocM replaces scattered files, uncontrolled email attachments, and disconnected drives with a governed, real-time document environment — accessible by every authorised team member, anywhere in the world, 24/7.

Centralised Document Repository

Consolidate all project documents in one secure, organised location — replacing scattered drives, inboxes, and file systems once and for all.

Custom Folder Structures

Create multiple folder structures tailored to each workstream, project phase, or team — ensuring every file is organised and instantly findable.

Role-Based Access Controls

Define granular access levels for every internal and external team member — protecting sensitive documents and enforcing governance at every folder level.

Real-Time File Sharing & Tracking

Share, track, and manage all electronic files across internal and external teams in real time — with unique shareable links for each document.

24/7 Global Access

Retrieve any document instantly, anytime, from anywhere — supporting remote and globally distributed project teams around the clock.

Collaborative Editing

Collaboratively edit Microsoft documents directly within the platform — enabling real-time co-authoring without leaving your project environment.

Seamlessly Integrated into goPLIMS

EDocM’s most distinctive advantage is that it is not a bolt-on or third-party tool. It is natively embedded within the goPLIMS platform — meaning document management is connected directly to your live projects, active workflows, and project teams from a single unified environment.

 

Native Platform Integration – Unique to EDocM

  • Access and manage documents without leaving your project management environment — keeping all context in one place
  • Collaborate with internal and external teams from one unified, integrated platform — no switching between tools or systems
  • Maintain compliance and content governance centrally, fully aligned with your live project activities and workflows
  • Protect documents from misuse with secure, role-based access at every folder level — controlling exactly who can view, edit, or share each file
  • Generate and share unique links for each document — enabling controlled distribution without exposing the full repository to external parties

No more fragmented file storage. No unauthorised access. No time wasted searching for documents.
Everything is centralised, governed, and instantly accessible — exactly where your team needs it.

Built on 3 Core Pillars

SETUP

Create custom folder structures, assign role-based access controls, and configure user privileges at every folder level for each workstream — before a single file is uploaded.

INTEGRATE

Collaborate with internal and external teams, maintain a current and compliant central platform, and retain all documents in one governed, searchable location across the project lifecycle.

MANAGE

Centralise all document types, move files and folders, protect documents from misuse, and eliminate fragmented, inbox-based document sharing — permanently.

Granular, Role-Based Access Control
