How it works
Each organization gets a private, dedicated instance: your documents, your index, your subdomain. Nothing is shared between organizations.
We gather your documents
Share your CBAs, MOAs, and agreements. We handle ingestion, OCR processing, and indexing, no need for technical staff.
Your private instance goes live
You get a dedicated subdomain with login-gated access. Arbitration and ERB databases are included automatically.
Search in seconds, not hours
Find the leave language, the past practice evidence, or the relevant ERB order before your next session. Your team logs in from anywhere.
