1. Transparent Pricing From Day One
infoRouter is very reasonably priced with a simple, easy-to-understand pricing model. The full platform is included: search, version control, workflow, records management, security, and the Web Services API. No per-document fees. No modules sold separately. No cloud storage charges that grow every quarter. Request a quote for detailed pricing.
2. Same-Day Deployment
Most infoRouter customers are up and running within hours, not weeks or months. Install the server, import users from Active Directory, bring in existing documents, and start working. There is no metadata schema to design before storing your first file and no consultant engagement required to go live.
3. A Folder Model Your Team Already Understands
infoRouter uses a folder-and-library structure that mirrors how people already organize documents. If your team knows Windows Explorer, they know how to navigate infoRouter. Adoption happens because the interface does not require retraining. It fits existing habits.
4. Search That Finds Documents by What's Inside Them
Full-text content indexing searches the contents of every document, not just filenames. Custom metadata fields let you filter by project, client, department, or date range. Knowledge workers spend 2.5 hours per day searching for information (IDC). infoRouter reduces that to seconds.
5. Version Control That Eliminates Configuration Control Problems
infoRouter's check-in/check-out manages proposal documents where a wrong version means a missed deadline or a lost contract. Every version is numbered, timestamped, and attributed. The current version is always the default. Prior versions remain accessible for reference.
6. Workflow Automation That Replaces the Inbox Chase
Route documents for review, approval, or action based on rules you set once. Approvers get notified automatically. Actions are recorded. Reminders fire without anyone chasing anyone.
7. Compliance Built In, Not Bolted On
Retention schedules, disposition workflows, and audit trails have been core infoRouter features since 1998. They are not checkboxes added later to win an RFP.
8. Standards-Based Technology
infoRouter utilizes technologies that are common to most organizations. Your existing IT staff can manage infoRouter without having to struggle with proprietary solutions. Documents are stored in their native formats with no proprietary conversion and no vendor lock-in.
9. A Web Services API for Custom Integration
Connect infoRouter to your CRM, ERP, accounts payable system, or any application your organization depends on. The API lets developers build custom integrations, automate document routing from external systems, and extend infoRouter to fit workflows that are unique to your business.
10. Twenty-Five Years in Production
infoRouter has been in continuous production since 1998. The edge cases your team will hit are ones we've already solved across aerospace, financial services, pharmaceuticals, energy, and thousands of small businesses. This isn't a startup pivoting to find product-market fit. It's a product that found it 25 years ago and has been refining it since.
