Designed to take your recruiting and compliance processes completely paperless, eDocs is more than just a document management system; it’s a revolutionary tool that transforms your entire workflow.
What are eDocs?

When eDocs first launched, it raised the bar for fleet management. Since then, driven by valuable customer feedback, it has continued to evolve with enhanced features like:
- enhanced document packeting
- advanced automation
- and a streamlined user interface
Recruiters have quickly embraced this tool, transitioning from third-party document signing solutions to fully leverage eDocs' robust features.
- Increased Efficiency

Additionally, because all your documents are located within DriverReach, there are fewer manual tasks of importing, exporting, or managing another document database.
- Reduce Physical Storage Costs: From pages to ink to mailing supplies and rows of filing cabinets, paper simply takes up space. Going paperless minimizes the need for physical storage and paper-related assets, allowing you to allocate resources more effectively. What could you do with that extra closet housing your documents?
