YOURPDI — ALL VALUABLE DOCUMENTS IN ONE PLACE
YourPDi wanted to provide its users with a safe and secure platform to store all the documents that are important and valuable to them. It wanted to offer a quick, easy, and secure way to share passwords, important stuff about home, family, and work within groups made specifically for these categories. The document management system, created with Virtual Force, was to be accessible from anywhere so users always had a convenient way of viewing, editing and sharing documents and information which mattered and when it mattered.
Virtual Force was engaged with the founding team at YourPDi since the conception stage. Team VF lead the ideation, and design and development phases to launch the document management system. In the initial 6 months after its launch in April 2018, the app acquired over 6,000 users, a number that is growing every month. VF is currently working as the technology partner to continuously evolve the product while maintaining it. YourPDi app has been recognized by platforms like Breakit, Appscene, and has been incubated by Sting, a renowned incubator of Sweden.

Key Features of the Document Management System
Document Creation
Documents can be easily created either within the 5 main predefined categories or by creating a new custom category. For each category, users can see a predefined format to fill out and they can alter it as per need. Attachments can be uploaded directly or imported from other applications such as Gmail, Google Photos, etc.
Built-In Scanning and OCR
Any document such as passports and loyalty cards can be scanned and the data is populated automatically through OCR into the predefined forms within the app.
Document Searching
Elastic search allows searching within the document content allowing for an extensive search capability.
Document Sharing within Family
YourPDi allows users to create family groups. Documents can then be shared within group members ensuring that the data is not leaked to an irrelevant audience. Access rights on documents can be controlled by the document owner.
