Easy Document Automation
Document automation is a technology-driven solution that simplifies and accelerates document generation, customization, and management. You can create documents from scratch or select a template, and you can share and collaborate with stakeholders through an automated workflow with branching logic and pre-populated data. Document automation eliminates the need for manual data entry, printed paperwork, and other time-consuming steps and is essential for digital transformation.
Kim's document automation starts with what you already have: your existing Microsoft Word documents. By tagging and uploading your documents, you activate them, transforming them into dynamic applications that serve as templates. Kim integrates seamlessly with your existing technology stack, enabling you to pull data into your applications from multiple systems and generate single documents or comprehensive suites of documents.
Our intuitive no-code form creation and streamlined low-code APIs empower individuals of all skill levels to generate better documents quickly. What's more, Kim is accessible to users no matter where they are, whether within their Microsoft Teams environment or through their web browser.

How Kim Document can help
Use What You Have
Kim starts with your existing MS Word documents. We take what you already use: letters; forms; records; checklists or contracts; etc. and automate them meaning the integrity of your current document styles and formats remain intact.
Simple Tagging
Tag the variable data fields within your MS Word document to automate your documents. The tag format is easy: [$tagname]. While you can name the tag as you prefer, we recommend simplicity and relevance, like [$counterpartyname].
No-Code Form Wizard
Kim automatically extracts all the tags from your documents and generates a user-friendly form wizard with drag & drop functionality so you can create your web forms. Use the forms to digitize your data capture process.
Easy to Use
Kim is simple to adopt and easy to manage. It requires no particular expertise to implement and manage, and it integrates with your existing technology stack for a smooth experience.
Reduce Rekeying
Kim minimizes the need for manual data rekeying. It captures the data once through the web form and then compiles, and generates all the necessary documents, reducing the risk of human error.
Data Flow
Kim allows for the straight-through processing of documents and data. Use the data captured or pull the information from other systems to generate documents, analyze the data, and push the document and data out to relevant platforms.
e-Signatures
With our integrated eSignature functionality, you can streamline the agreement process with DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat Sign. The intuitive workflow manages the signing process and returns to you an executed document which you can automatically file.
Bulk Data Downloads
By collecting data in a structured format using Kim's web forms, you benefit from being able to make data-driven decisions, by downloading all the data in bulk, analysing it, and identifying trends.

We are always looking for ways to deliver better client value, increase efficiency and streamline our operations across the 100 jurisdictions in which we operate.

We are excited to not only use Kim but also to showcase and take it to our clients who we also believe will benefit significantly from adopting it.
Adrian Jaggard, CEO Taylor Rose
A significant increase in license fees from our existing provider triggered our review of other tools. We're glad it did. It showed us what is now possible. Kim will help us digitize our operations and better serve our clients and teams. It saves us time and money and helps our business and IT strategy. We are excited by the opportunities.
Andrew Powell, CIO
We are using Kim Document to automate our supplier questionnaires and related documents as part of our vendor onboarding process. It was quick to make live and has helped reduce time and effort onboarding new suppliers.
Tony McKenna, Director of Information Technology
Kim Document, for us, was a no-brainer due to the simplicity of use and the attractive price point. Kim will help the firm automate those documents that aren’t high value enough to justify a full-blown document automation platform but where they would still like control over the data collected.
CISO, International Bank
Kim gives organizations the ability to have no-code form creation which enables unstructured data to be put in a structured format.
Ann Pruitt, Executive Director
Kim’s no-code Document and Automation-as-a Service Platform empowered us to automate our legal helpline process, enabling our service to scale exponentially and allowing team members to deliver value at the highest level.
