Getting started

Choose the right OnlineOffice rollout path

Practical onboarding by business type: what to enable first, and how to prepare invoices, documents, and monthly evidence for the accountant.

Not every team should start the same way

OnlineOffice is intended to work as a monthly evidence workspace, not a one-off generator. The best first step depends on whether you manage invoicing, received documents, bank movements, payroll, or trips.

Choose by scenario

Each path includes a recommended plan, first actions, and proof points to prepare before internal or client rollout.
