- Modern policy & compliance management
Write, approve, acknowledge, track, prove. The whole policy lifecycle in one place.
- Allymatter PLATFORM
Every document you have to stand behind (policies, SOPs, the handbook) runs one governed lifecycle here, and every step writes to the same permanent record. That is what makes the proof exportable at the end: nothing lives in a side spreadsheet.
- WRITE
Author documents that are built to be governed
A real editor underneath, and a record-keeping system around it. Every document gets an owner, a type, and a version history from its first save.
Editor
A real editor with an owner and a type chosen at creation. The type drives everything downstream: what the audience must do, and what the record captures.
Versions
Every version is kept with timestamps and author attribution. Restore any previous version in one click. Version Compare shows any two versions word by word, down to a counter of how many words changed, so a reviewer sees exactly what moved between v4 and v5 instead of rereading thirty pages.
Organization
Folders with drag-and-drop reorganization. When a parent folder moves, child documents move with it and inherit the destination's permissions, so a reorg never silently strands access. Flat, role-based tags keep the structure from turning into a maze.
Access
Access is tag-based: admins create tags for departments, locations, roles, or any combination, and both documents and people carry them. Match the tags and you see the document; miss them and it does not exist for you. Tags can be applied per document or cascade through folders. Search respects the same permissions, so people find what they are allowed to find.
Embeds
SOPs work better when the diagram, the walkthrough, and the tracker live inside the document. AllyMatter embeds: YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Excel Online, Figma, Canva, Lucidchart, Draw.io, Google Forms, Typeform, Calendly, CodePen. One scope rule, stated plainly: embeds are for SOPs and working documents. A document that collects acknowledgment or e-signature stays self-contained, because live embedded content can change after people sign.
- APPROVE
Approvals with real rules, not a thumbs-up emoji
Route any document through the sign-off it deserves: one approver for the parking memo, four structured steps for the information security policy.
Workflows
Build an approval workflow from one step up to four. Each step holds up to six approvers, and a single workflow can involve up to twelve people in total. Or keep it simple: one person, one click. Sending a document into approval takes one action from the document itself.
Step Rules
Each step carries its own rule: everyone in the step must approve, or any one person in the step approves and the document advances. Mix rules across steps in the same workflow: step one might need any one legal reviewer, step two all three department heads. Approvers can approve with comments attached, or reject with comments, which sends the document back with the reasoning on the record.
While In Review
The document auto-locks during active approval: no mid-review edits, so what the final step approves is exactly what step one saw. And only approved versions can be distributed for acknowledgment or signature. Nobody ever signs a draft.
Reusable
Name and save any approval workflow and apply it across documents. The quality team's 3-step review, the HR policy chain, the fast one-person path for low-stakes updates: build each once.
On the Record
Every approval decision is captured permanently: who approved, when, under which rule, including shapes like "sent to three, any could approve, this person did." When an auditor asks who signed off on the version in force, it is a lookup, not an investigation.
- Distribute & Acknowledge
The right people, the right obligation, and a record that holds
An acknowledgment here is an evidence record, not a read receipt. Every one binds a person to an exact version and the exact statement they agreed to.
- Keep Current
Policies age. The system notices before your auditor does
Two mutually exclusive freshness mechanisms per document, chosen by the owner, plus one rule with no exceptions.
- PROVE
The audit ends with an export, not a scramble
Everything the other sections do lands on one per-document record. This section is where it comes back out.
- Publish & Share
