Designed to Enhance Laserfiche, Not Replace It

Laserfiche is a world-leading document management system. Simba acknowledges—and builds on—that leadership. By supplying a tailored, governance-ready classification framework, Simba helps organizations realize even more value from a Laserfiche implementation: smarter metadata, precise filing, and robust automation triggers.

Intuitive Classification Management

Define Departments, Classifications (including multiple nested levels), and Document Types with a clean, logical interface. Detail views expose dependencies so relationships are transparent and consistent across your organization.

Enterprise-Grade Administration

  • One-off edits for quick adjustments to classifications and types.
  • Bulk import via CSV so line managers can update spreadsheets and ingest changes directly—fast and accurate at scale.
  • Standards-aligned structures that adhere to state and industry recommendations.

Seamless Laserfiche Cloud Integration

After defining your structure in Simba, connect it to Laserfiche Cloud as an external classification database. The integration enables smarter metadata tagging, precise filing rules, and powerful automations driven by a well-governed model.

Result: a clean, compliant, and scalable classification foundation that makes your Laserfiche environment more organized, discoverable, and automation-ready.
