KEEP YOUR FOLDERS

AND ADD AI

Revver layers AI extraction and no-code automation onto the folder system everyone already understands. No governance redesign, no retraining, and no waiting for people to start thinking in metadata. Learning curve and training required are the two most-cited drawbacks in M-Files reviews on G2.

What are the benefits of intelligent document processing (IDP)?

  • Automates data extraction from both structured and unstructured documents, even handwritten documents, reducing manual entry. 
  • Improves accuracy by minimizing human error through AI-powered tools like Revver’s OCR and Smart Extract AI. 
  • Enhances efficiency by streamlining workflows, reducing processing time, and speeding up approvals. 
  • Improves compliance with built-in security features and audit trails for document tracking and ensuring consistent processes are followed. 
  • Reduces costs by automating repetitive tasks and eliminating the need for manual data handling.


How does Revver’s Smart Extract AI work?

Revver’s Smart Extract AI uses AI to automatically identify and pull relevant data from a variety of documents. It allows you to specify what metadata you care about for different file types or folders, increasing the accuracy and efficiency of data extraction.

What is Zonal OCR and how does it benefit document processing?

Zonal Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a desktop application that targets specific areas of structured documents, like forms or invoices, to extract data from defined zones. This ensures key information, such as dates or amounts, is accurately captured and processed, streamlining workflows and minimizing errors. It can also perform other document tasks, like separating different documents in the same file.


Can Revver process unstructured documents like scanned PDFs and images?

Yes, Revver can process both unstructured and structured documents. It uses advanced OCR and AI technologies to extract valuable data from scanned PDFs, images, and handwritten content, making it easier to manage and analyze your documents.


How secure is the data processed by Revver?

Revver follows industry-standard security protocols to protect your data at every stage. All documents and metadata are encrypted, and access is tightly managed through robust permission controls to ensure privacy and compliance. 

You’re always in control—AI features like Smart Extract AI are optional and can be turned on or off at any time. Your data is never used to train models for other customers, and insights from your documents remain entirely private and secure.

WHY TEAMS SWITCH

REVVER ADDS INTELLIGENCE TO THE WAY YOUR TEAM ALREADY WORKS.

Learning curve and training required are the two most-cited drawbacks in M-Files reviews on G2. Here is what Revver does differently across the four things that usually slow adoption.

G2 reviewers score Revver 8.5 on ease of administration compared to 7.7 for M-Files. Learning curve and training required are the top two drawbacks in M-Files reviews.

ADMIN WITHOUT THE DESIGN PROJECT

Smart Extract pulls metadata from both handwritten and printed documents to make them searchable and workflow-ready. M-Files AI centers on discovery and classification.

AI THAT PROCESSES, NOT JUST FINDS

G2's impartial research puts it plainly: reviewers say that Revver is easier to operate and do business with compared to M-Files.

EASIER TO LIVE WITH AND MAINTAIN

Revver runs on metadata, too. Smart Extract writes it automatically on upload, and it drives search, filing, and workflow triggers. You get the best of both worlds: familiar folder structure mixed with cutting-edge metadata extraction to power automated processes. 

Folders on the surface, metadata underneath.

"What I like about Revver is it's easy to use. Clients feel safe uploading sensitive information — the process is super easy, just send them a link and they do it. I like that I am able to pull client records from anywhere."

MARTIN P.

Financial Services

"Revver is used across all departments in my organization to digitize, organize, search and securely store documents in one central repository. It has been seamless to collaborate on documents in real-time with Revver."

DILAK S.

Design

"I like that we can securely store files — we have a lot of private information on our clients that all needs to be kept safe. The best part is the support. I have had to reach out a few times and I always get someone knowledgeable and patient."

IS REVVER A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO M-FILES?

Yes, particularly for teams that want document automation without redesigning how they file. Revver keeps folder-based organization and layers AI extraction and no-code workflows on top of it.


WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REVVER AND M-FILES?

Filing philosophy. M-Files stores documents by what they are rather than where they live, so retrieval depends on a metadata model designed up front. Revver combines folders with automated metadata, so people find documents the way they already expect to.


WILL MY TEAM NEED RETRAINING?

Far less with Revver than with M-Files. Learning curve and training required are the two most-cited drawbacks in M-Files reviews on G2. Revver keeps the folder structure your team already knows, which is one reason G2 reviewers score it 8.5 on ease of administration compared to 7.7 for M-Files.


HOW DO REVVER AND M-FILES COMPARE ON PRICING?

Revver starts at roughly $25 per user per month, compared to $65 per seat for M-Files Essentials. Revver's mix-and-match licensing lets you buy different user types based on the job each person does, rather than one size for everyone, and guest users let clients view and upload without paid seats. That makes Revver more affordable than alternatives like M-Files.


WHO IS REVVER BUILT FOR?

Accounting, financial services, insurance, HR, and government teams, with prebuilt templates for each.
