d.velop Content Platform

The d.velop content platform is a content services platform from d.velop AG. It combines document management, process automation, and AI functions on one shared foundation, so documents, approvals, and organizational knowledge are handled in the same system. Customers add industry- and task-specific apps and integrations to the platform.

Key Capabilities

• Document management: d.velop documents handles document storage, version control, full-text search, and metadata extraction. Permissions set in d.velop documents carry over automatically to the platform's AI functions.
• Process automation: d.velop process runs, monitors, and administers processes modeled in BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation), and users take part through assigned tasks. d.velop process studio supports both no-code and developer customization, and it can delegate recurring tasks to AI from a written prompt.
• Intelligent Document Processing (IDP): IDP recognizes document types such as invoices, contracts, delivery notes, and bills of lading, extracts the relevant data, and routes it into the matching process. It handles handwritten content.
• Knowledge search: d.velop pilot answers natural-language questions from the organization's own content. It cites its sources, using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and shows each user only what that user is authorized to see.
• Agent oversight: The d.velop agent center starts and tracks work done by people and AI agents, and records each decision so it can be audited. Agents act only where an administrator allows it.
• Solutions built on the platform:
  • Invoice processing captures and classifies incoming invoices, routes them through rule-based approvals, and archives them in line with GoBD, the German rules for retaining electronic accounting records.
  • Contract management monitors terms and deadlines, flags risks, and automates approvals.
  • Secure document delivery sends documents with proof of delivery and tracks delivery status. It carries eIDAS certification, the EU framework for legally valid electronic documents and trust services.
• Integrations and extensions: More than 500 integration options connect the platform to other business systems, including SAP and Microsoft 365. The d.velop store offers add-on apps from d.velop and its partners.
