What is this, in plain English?

A build service: we develop a system for storing your business documents properly — organised, versioned, permission-controlled and searchable — instead of scattered across drives and inboxes. Built and deployed remotely.

You pay once and we build the system, then migrate your existing files into it. Documents live in one place with a clear owner, a version history and an audit trail of who saw or changed what. Approval workflows route documents for sign-off rather than relying on email chains, and retention rules run automatically.

The problem it solves

Nobody is sure which version is current, sensitive documents sit in shared folders, and approvals happen in untracked email threads.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

    Which documents need sign-off, and by whom.

    Existing files imported and classified.

  4. 4

    Train and enforce

    Teams trained; shared drives retired.

Delivery & fulfilment

Stream Edge Solutions ships nothing. Every package on this site is carried out and handed over remotely — this is exactly what happens after you order.

Full detail of how work is handed over, what happens if requirements are outstanding and how order records are kept is in the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

What we need from you

Nothing starts until these are in place, and the turnaround above is measured from that point — not from the moment you pay.

  • Your document categories and retention policy
  • A decision on who should access what
  • Your existing documents as digital files we can access in bulk
  • Your own hosting account, or authority for us to recommend one

Who this is for

  • Organisations with compliance requirements
  • Professional services handling client files
  • Businesses with controlled documents
  • Teams drowning in shared drives

Business needs this addresses: Automate work, Improve operations

What's not included

Just as plainly as the list above: the things this package is not.

  • Scanning paper documents — you supply files already in digital form
  • OCR of scanned images unless bought as the add-on
  • Regulatory compliance certification of any kind
  • Storage and hosting costs, paid to your provider directly

Anything outside the scope above is quoted separately, in writing, before it is carried out. Nothing is added to your bill without your agreement.

FAQs

Is this not just a shared drive?

A shared drive has no versioning discipline, no approval routing and no audit of who opened what. Those three are usually the reason organisations outgrow one.

Refund & cancellation

What happens if you change your mind, and what happens to money already paid.

Cooling-off before work starts
You have 7 days after ordering to cancel while work has not yet begun. Up to 25% may be retained to cover scoping and scheduling already carried out.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

Not sure this is the right product?
