Box Alternative
Real DMS, Not Just Storage

Box is fine for file sync. But when you need document workflows, compliance, and automation, you need a real document management system. Save 60% and get more.

Ademero is a complete document management system that goes far beyond Box's basic file storage capabilities. While Box excels at synchronizing files across devices, it lacks the sophisticated features enterprises need for complex document workflows, compliance requirements, and business process automation. Organizations using Ademero benefit from built-in compliance features, advanced document processing with AI-powered automation, and comprehensive audit trails—all without paying per-user licensing fees.

Whether you're managing invoices with AP Central, scanning documents with our capture tools, or implementing complex approval workflows, Ademero provides the infrastructure enterprises depend on. Migrate from Box and immediately access features including visual workflow builders, automatic document classification, HIPAA and SOX compliance automation, and intelligent document routing.

Why Enterprises Migrate from Box to Ademero

Complete Document Lifecycle Management

Box is limited to file storage and basic sharing. Ademero manages the complete document lifecycle from ingestion through retention and destruction. Capture documents with automated scanning, process them with intelligent extraction, route through approval workflows, and maintain them with automated compliance. This integrated approach eliminates the need for multiple systems, reducing complexity and cost. Organizations implementing Content Central eliminate their dependency on fragmented tool chains and achieve operational efficiency Box cannot match.

Enterprise-Grade Compliance Built-In

Box offers basic compliance features, but enterprises need automated, auditable compliance. Ademero includes automatic retention policies, complete audit trails, encryption, and built-in compliance for HIPAA, SOX, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and FINRA requirements. Compliance is enforced at every step—capture, processing, approval, storage, and destruction. No additional plugins or workarounds needed. Companies avoiding Box because of compliance requirements find Ademero delivers the controls and documentation required for regulated industries.

Unlimited Users, Fixed Costs

Box's per-user licensing model penalizes growth. Every new employee or contractor adds cost. Ademero pricing is consumption-based rather than per-user, making it ideal for organizations with variable staffing or large teams. The savings multiply with scale—a 500-person organization saves over $600,000 annually compared to Box. These cost savings justify migration investment in weeks, not months. Beyond savings, the pricing model encourages broader adoption and eliminates the need to restrict access based on cost considerations.

Workflow Automation That Actually Works

Box lacks workflow and automation capabilities—it's purely a file repository. Ademero includes visual workflow builders requiring no coding, enabling any business user to design and deploy approval workflows, document routing, conditional logic, and process automation. Automate invoice approval, contract review, compliance sign-off, leave requests, and any other business process. This capability delivers immediate ROI through reduced manual processing, eliminated approval bottlenecks, and faster business cycles.
