From insurance to banking and consumer goods, Smart Documents are redefining how companies and users interact—through a data-driven, usability-focused approach.
Customer experience and operational efficiency have become strategic priorities for organizations. In this context, DocPath, a global company specializing in document and information management software solutions, introduces Smart Documents as a disruptive solution for companies seeking to optimize processes, personalize services, and reduce friction in customer interactions.
Unlike traditional documents, a Smart Document is a 100% digital file that integrates structured data and business rules to generate personalized, interactive, and actionable content in real time. This means that an insurance policy, financial contract, or even a medical record can automatically adapt to the customer’s context and needs—and be accessed across multiple channels, from email to a digital wallet or mobile app.
“We are leaving behind the era of static documents. Today, any document can be updated in real time, answer questions, and even be sent to the user’s wallet and provide personalized service without human intervention,” explained Mauricio Saavedra, Commercial Director at DocPath Latam.
Smart Documents combine customer information with business rules to generate personalized, coherent, and ready-to-use documents in seconds. This automation transforms traditionally slow and error-prone processes into agile, precise workflows, unlocking both operational and strategic benefits. Highlights include:
-
True omnichannel functionality: A single document can be distributed, accessed, and updated across multiple platforms without data loss or duplication.
-
Intelligent automation: Documents are built and adapted automatically based on customer data.
-
Reduced operational costs: Eliminates repetitive tasks and dramatically cuts paper usage.
-
Enhanced customer experience: Provides instant responses, personalized explainer videos, and interactive features.
-
Security and traceability: Enables detailed storage, auditing, and lifecycle analysis of documents.
-
Business opportunities: During document interaction, AI can detect specific user needs and trigger personalized real-time offers aligned with their interests and context.
While the insurance sector has led adoption, Smart Documents are transforming other industries by turning documents into interaction channels. From banking to healthcare, retail, and utilities, they enable faster, more personalized, and more actionable processes—such as digital contracts, warranties, interactive medical records, smart invoices, and account statements with embedded consumption analysis and payment options—greatly enhancing user experience.
AI + Smart Documents: A Powerful Combination
Artificial intelligence amplifies the value of Smart Documents, turning them into intelligent, proactive tools. AI allows for the creation of personalized versions, the integration of virtual assistants that answer real-time questions, and the generation of AI-powered explainer videos. This combination not only improves understanding but also facilitates decision-making and enables immediate action—multiplying impact on both user experience and process efficiency.
“Beyond digitization, Smart Documents transform: they activate processes, automate interactions, and turn traditional documents into dynamic service platforms. In a world where most users connect via smartphone, this technology is key to scaling digital transformation with a focus on usability and efficiency,” concluded Saavedra.
