Proarc Mobile - Remote and Offline Access to Your DMS

Written by Anette Skogheim Monsen | June 12, 2023

Proarc's document management system is purpose-built to manage documents along with their related processes & data and provides teams with a central, reliable source of truth for this information.  

In today's world, the need to access the information stored in your document management system does not end when you step out of the office and away from your computer. This is especially true for project or operations team members who work out in the field and need access to your controlled documents even when working from remote locations with low bandwidth or no internet service, like on a ship or a tunnel.

Despite their location or work environments, your team members need 24/7 access to your document management system and the controlled documents it contains. Without the ability to remotely access documents stored in your DMS, productivity will be affected. 

The easy solution to providing teams with access to your Proarc DMS documents while they are in the field or offline is the Proarc Mobile Add-on. Proarc Mobile is a lightweight add-on designed specifically for mobile devices, making it very user-friendly for mobile usage. Proarc Mobile is ideal for team members working while in the field or when they do not have access to an internet connection. Users can easily access documents and drawings while on a construction site or download documentation for offline access. 

The Proarc Mobile Add-on is available for smartphones and tablets and runs on iOS and Android operating systems.
