Enterprise-grade document scanning, secure storage, and POPIA compliance tools — scaled and priced for South African SMEs. Live in under 1 hour. No IT consultant required.
The Protection of Personal Information Act applies to every South African business that processes personal information — regardless of size. If you collect client contact details, store employee records, or keep supplier invoices, you have POPIA obligations.
The challenge for small businesses is that traditional document management systems were priced and designed for large enterprises. Six-figure implementation costs and months-long rollouts are simply not viable for an SME.
Paperop was built to close this gap: enterprise-grade security and compliance, at a price point and complexity level that works for a 5-person accounting firm or a 50-person property agency.
Paperop's self-serve platform is designed for radical simplicity. Here is what the typical small business onboarding looks like.
Register your business, set your company name and admin user. Takes less than one minute.
Select your retention templates (SARS, BCEA, POPIA), set up your folder structure, invite your team.
Upload existing digital documents or send physical files to Paperop for scanning. Your archive is live.
Send your physical documents to Paperop's Kempton Park facility and receive a fully indexed digital archive within days. Our AI extracts and tags document types, dates, and key data fields — no manual typing by your team.
Learn More →Store your business documents in a POPIA-compliant, AES-256 encrypted cloud vault. Role-based access ensures each team member only sees what they are authorised to see — with a full audit trail of every access.
Learn More →When documents reach the end of their retention period, Paperop provides certified shredding with a Certificate of Destruction. This is a legal requirement under POPIA for responsible data disposal — and eliminates your physical security risk.
Learn More →If you still have physical files that need to be retained, Paperop stores them in secure, climate-controlled, RFID-tracked facilities — freeing up your office space and ensuring instant retrieval when needed.
Learn More →Tell us about your document volume and current storage situation. We will give you a clear, no-surprise quote within 24 hours.
