The 3S platform: documents in, cited answers out
3S takes in the documents you upload from the browser, including files you already have as scans. It recognizes each one and logs who opens it. You can set a retention period for each folder, and it applies to the documents in it. Then you ask questions, and each answer shows the source it came from.
Upload once, ask as often as you need.
All your files in one archive
PDFs, scans and photos your team uploads land in the same archive, where 3S reads the text and tags each file by type.
Stored in the EU
Files you upload are stored in the EU, with Frankfurt as the primary region, and you can export them whenever you need.
Answers with the source
A question asked in the browser gets an answer from your documents, with the document it came from, so you can check it.
How a team question reaches the right document
One place for all your company's documents.
Your team asks its questions in the browser. Documents come into 3S by upload, and answers go back with the source they came from.
Your team
Colleagues and your accountant, in the browser.
3S archive
Every document read, stored in the EU, ready for questions.
Your documents
Shared folders, email attachments, scans and photos.
Where each document is kept, for how long, and who opened it
Three facts hold for every file in 3S, whether it started as a scan or as a digital document.
- Stored files
- Files you upload are stored in the EU, with Frankfurt as the primary region.
- Retention period
- You set a retention period on each folder, and it applies to every document in it.
- Access log
- 3S logs who opens each document.
Ask one question, get what your documents say
Ask in plain words, and 3S shows the answer together with the document it came from.
A stack of scanned PDFs is not yet a company archive
Five things a company needs every day, side by side: what a plain scan leaves you with and what 3S does.
Retention rules for e-invoices differ from country to country; our guide gives the primary source and the check date. E-invoicing

Every file you upload has a known location, and you can name it to anyone who asks.
Files you upload to 3S are stored in the EU, with Frankfurt as the primary region. 3S reads the text of each file once, tags it by type and keeps it ready for search.
The hosting provider is a US company. A US law known as the CLOUD Act can require such a provider to preserve and disclose data in its care, even when its servers are outside the US. The About page names the provider.
Each folder carries its retention period, and 3S logs who opens each document. If a client, an auditor or an inspector asks where a document is, the answer is the same every time: in the EU, with Frankfurt as the primary region.
Text read once
3S reads the text of each scan or photo once, so you can search it from then on without opening the file.
A log of who opens what
3S logs who opens each document. For rules on who inside your organization sees which documents, tell us what you need.
Retention, by folder
You set a retention period on each folder, and it applies to every document in it. Our guides give the primary sources for Moldova and EU e-invoices.
Examples from daily work
A few examples from fields where a working day means many documents and many questions about them.
Logistics
Orders, signed CMRs and proofs of delivery sit in each trip's folder, so invoicing does not wait for a document left in a driver's cab.
Construction
For each site, permits, acceptance reports and progress statements sit in one folder, and a search by the site's address finds them.
Accounting
Each client's documents sit in their own folders, by month, and a question finds an invoice without another email asking the client to resend it.
What an auditor asks, 3S can show on the spot
Folder retention periods and the log of who opened what are in 3S at any time, with no preparation for an audit.
