# Docspell

Business application

A document intake and organization foundation for scans, email attachments and other incoming files.

## Why we recommend it

We recommend Docspell when the main value lies in processing incoming documents and finding them later with structured metadata.

## When to choose it

- Build a personal or team archive and connect document ingestion to your existing business processes.

## What to consider

- The Scala and Elm stack may require specialist knowledge. Complex approval portals and transactional business records are additional scope beyond document organization.

## Start with this project

Test intake from your actual scanner or mailbox and measure search quality on representative files.
