From risk analysis to delivered operating manual
DokuTech brings together technical content, machine and product data, five languages, reviews, and digital delivery in a clear workflow.
Create templates and text modules
Structure recurring chapters, tables, images, and warnings as reusable content.
Record customers, products, and machines
Connect customer language, product structure, machine, model, serial number, and technical data.
Add variables and risk analysis
Maintain concrete values and review AI suggestions for hazards, measures, and design notes.
Create and review documentation
Check content, language, variables, tables, images, and attachments in preview, PDF, or Word.
Approve and deliver with control
Generate an immutable delivery state and provide it via email, portal, QR code, or machine passport.
One content system – suitable for machine, product, variant, and customer
Reusable content is combined with the specific data of the selected machine, product, and customer context. Missing values remain visible instead of being silently added.
Reusable base
Centrally structure templates, chapters, text modules, tables, media, and glossary.
Maintain once, reuse where needed
Specific technical context
Consciously select and insert machine, product, variant, serial, and customer data.
The right data for the right output
Reviewed document state
Check preview, PDF, and Word and commit an immutable delivery snapshot.
Later changes do not overwrite a delivery
Targeted end customer access
Connect document package, language, and serial number via customer portal, QR code, and machine passport.
Directly to the suitable machine documentation
This makes it traceable which content belongs to which machine, variant, serial number, and customer situation.
Work with control instead of maintaining content repeatedly
DokuTech combines professional work, reuse, and digital delivery without automating professional responsibility.
An end-to-end process
Risk analysis, technical content, machine and product data, translation, output, and delivery interlock in one workflow.
Powerful AI with human control
The AI formulates, translates, analyzes, and makes suggestions. You review, edit, and decide on every use and approval.
Five languages in a shared workflow
German, French, Italian, English, and Spanish are supported for content, structures, attachments, risk analyses, and deliveries.
Insert technical data suitably
Standardized content is combined with the specific machine, product, variant, and customer data of the selected output.
Deliver digitally to the end customer
PDF, Word, email, customer portal, QR code, and machine passport lead to the intended, approved document state.
Company knowledge remains separate
Glossary, AI settings, documents, and technical content remain assigned to your own company workspace and are not available to other DokuTech customers.
AI supports – you decide
AI results are editable suggestions. DokuTech does not replace professional review, approval, or responsibility by designers, safety experts, and technical writers.

One price. Everything included.
No hidden costs, no user limits. One fair annual licence for your entire company.
Annual licence
The first 30 days are completely free. After that, an annual invoice of CHF 980 (or EUR 1,060) is issued.
No credit card required. 30 days free. Cancel any time.
Why CHF 980 / EUR 1,060 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
CHF 980 / EUR 1,060 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 30+ 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.
GDPR Compliant. OpenAI DPA. Data Protection Verified.
DokuTech.app meets the strict requirements of the GDPR and the Swiss Data Protection Act. AI processing is governed by a binding Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with OpenAI – your data is not stored, not used for training, and is not accessible to third parties at any time.

DokuTech.app
The Founder Behind DokuTech Swiss
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.
