Centralised document management for contracts, receipts, compliance documents, and correspondence — attached directly to the client, supplier, or transaction record they belong to. Find every document instantly, attached to its context.
Document storage in Mutual Africa Pay solves the fundamental problem with most document management — documents stored separately from the records they relate to. In Mutual Africa Pay, documents live exactly where they belong.
Attach documents directly to the records they belong to — a signed contract to the client record, a delivery note to the purchase order, a receipt to the expense entry, an agreement to the project. Find any document by navigating to the relevant record — not by searching through a folder structure.
All attached documents are also accessible through a central document library — searchable by name, type, date, and associated record. Find any document instantly regardless of where it was attached.
Store signed client and supplier contracts against the relevant record. See contract dates, value, and attached document in one view. Never lose a contract or spend time searching for an agreement that was signed months ago.
Attach receipt photographs and digital receipts directly to expense entries. Every expense in Mutual Africa Pay can have its supporting receipt attached — creating a complete, audit-ready expense record without a separate receipt management system.
Store CIPC registration documents, tax clearance certificates, BEE certificates, and other compliance documents in Mutual Africa Pay. Set expiry dates on compliance documents — Mutual Africa Pay alerts you before they expire, ensuring compliance documentation is always current.
Documents stored in Mutual Africa Pay are subject to the same role-based access controls as all other data. Team members see only the documents their role permits — ensuring sensitive contracts and financial documents are not accessible to all staff.
Document management in Mutual Africa Pay is built around context — every document is attached to the record it relates to, so finding a document means navigating to the relevant client, supplier, or transaction, not searching through folders.
Attach documents by uploading a file or photographing it using the Mutual Africa Pay mobile app. Receipts, contracts, delivery notes, and any other documents can be attached from any device.
Link the document to the appropriate record — client, supplier, expense, invoice, purchase order, or project. The document now lives in context, accessible from the record it belongs to.
Open the client, supplier, or transaction record and all attached documents are immediately visible. No folder navigation, no email search, no asking colleagues where the document is stored.
For compliance documents with expiry dates, set a reminder in Mutual Africa Pay. You will be alerted before the document expires — giving time to renew and re-upload before compliance lapses.
