How it works

From template to finished manual in 4 steps

From template to delivery – DokuTech.app guides you through the entire documentation process.

01

Create a template

Use the system template with 92 standard chapters (EN ISO 20607 / MR 2023/1230) – each chapter contains a predefined AI prompt. Define mandatory chapters, control characters and the structure of your operating manual – complemented by reusable text modules for consistent content across all documents.

02

Write & translate content

Write your texts in the WYSIWYG editor – the AI assistant transforms raw texts into standards-compliant formulations. Translate with a single click into German, French, Italian and English – from any source language.

03

Generate PDF

Generate professional PDF documents in your corporate design – with logo, header and footer, table of contents and page numbering.

04

Deliver & provide

Deliver documentation via email with PDF attachments and QR code – in all four languages. Track delivery status (Created → Sent → Read) and provide documents via the customer portal.

More affordable than comparable CCMS systemsNo setup feeCancel any time

Why 500 CHF/EUR per year?

Transparent pricing without hidden costs

Traditional CCMS systems often cost five to six-figure amounts – plus training, maintenance and consulting. DokuTech.app offers comparable core features at a fraction of the price. Here we explain why this is possible and what exactly is included.

No sales team, no overhead

DokuTech.app is operated directly by the developer. No sales commissions, no trade fair costs, no bloated administrative apparatus. The savings are passed directly to you.

Cloud-native architecture

The application runs entirely in the cloud. No local installation, no server maintenance, no individual configuration. This significantly reduces operating costs.

Fair flat rate instead of user licences

500 CHF/EUR per year per company – whether you have 2 or 20 editors. No user limits, no volume restrictions, no hidden additional costs.

Everything included

Included in the price: all features, all updates, AI translation in 4 languages, PDF export with corporate design, text modules, customer portal, email dispatch and email support.

Deliberately not included: individual customisations, on-site training and migration services. These can be arranged separately if needed.

DokuTech.app

The Founder Behind DokuTech.app

For over 25 years, I have worked in industry – as a machine builder, technical writer and software developer. I know the challenges of technical documentation first-hand: confusing Word documents, missing standard structures, tedious translation processes and expensive CCMS systems that are hardly affordable for SMEs.

I developed DokuTech.app because I wanted a solution I would have liked to have myself: an editorial system that makes standards-oriented operating manuals simple – without six-figure investments, without months-long implementation projects and without an IT department.

My experience in mechanical engineering, technical writing and software development flows directly into product development. Every feature in DokuTech.app solves a concrete problem I have experienced in practice.

DokuTech.app supports four languages: German, French, Italian and English. The AI translation is not limited to German as the source language – you can freely choose from which of the four languages to translate.

Use Cases & Suitability

DokuTech.app is designed for machine builders, equipment manufacturers, importers, technical writers and SMEs who need to create standards-oriented operating manuals, assembly instructions or user guides. The software is particularly suitable for companies that document according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC or the new EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 and need their documentation in multiple languages.

DokuTech.app is not a general content management system and is not intended for marketing copy, websites or general office documents. It is specifically designed for technical documentation in mechanical engineering and related industries. If you don't need standards-related documentation, there are more suitable tools available.

For creating technical documentation and operating manuals, DokuTech.app can replace Word. The WYSIWYG editor offers standard-specific control characters (warnings, action instructions), AI-powered text optimisation, automatic translation and PDF export with corporate design – features that would need to be implemented manually in Word. For other document types such as letters or presentations, Word remains the appropriate tool.

Yes, DokuTech.app was developed in Switzerland and is particularly tailored to the needs of SMEs in the DACH region. Data is stored on a Swiss server, the software supports four languages (DE/FR/IT/EN) and the price of 500 CHF per year is affordable even for smaller companies. There is no user limit and no hidden costs.

Yes, you can import PDF files and images via drag & drop into your documentation. DokuTech.app automatically detects the language from the file name (DE, FR, IT, EN) and assigns the file to the corresponding language version. This allows you to gradually migrate existing documentation into DokuTech.app.

You write your texts in any of the four languages (German, French, Italian, English). With one click, the AI translates the text into the desired target language. You can translate individual chapters or entire documents in batch mode. Verified translations can be locked with the Translation Lock – batch translation then automatically skips approved chapters.
