Introducing Document Storage and Processing Pipeline
Introducing Document Storage and Processing Pipeline
Released in v1.0.4
What Is This?
Version 1.0.4 introduces the foundational document storage and processing pipeline for the platform. This release establishes the infrastructure required to securely upload, store, and extract metadata from documents — enabling two key enterprise workflows: contract lifecycle management and HR document processing.
Key Capabilities
Secure Document Upload
Documents can now be uploaded directly through the platform. All uploads are handled through a secure pipeline that enforces access controls at the point of ingestion, ensuring documents are only accessible to authorised users and tenants.
Document Storage
Uploaded documents are persisted in a managed storage layer with:
- Tenant isolation — documents are scoped to the originating tenant and cannot be accessed across organisation boundaries.
- Role-based access controls — permissions are enforced so that only users with appropriate roles can read, write, or manage documents.
Basic Metadata Extraction
When a document is uploaded, the processing pipeline automatically extracts basic metadata. This metadata forms the basis for:
- Document indexing and future search capabilities.
- Automated classification and routing in upcoming releases.
Use Cases
Contract Management
This release provides the storage and ingestion foundation for contract lifecycle management. Contracts can now be uploaded and stored securely, ready for review, approval, and automation workflows that will be built on top in future releases.
HR Document Processing
HR teams can now upload employee-related documents — such as offer letters, policy documents, and records — into the platform. These documents are stored securely and tagged with metadata for future processing and retrieval.
Access Controls
All document operations are governed by the platform's existing multi-tenant access control model:
| Operation | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Upload document | Authenticated user with document write permission |
| Read document | Authenticated user with document read permission, scoped to their tenant |
| Delete document | Authenticated user with document admin permission |
What's Coming Next
This release is the first step in a broader document intelligence roadmap. Future releases will build on this foundation to deliver:
- Advanced metadata extraction and AI-powered document classification.
- Contract review and approval workflows.
- Full-text search across stored documents.
- Automated HR document workflows (e.g. onboarding packet generation, e-signature routing).
