Detailed Review
Kendox InfoShare is the document management system at the centre of Kendox's product range. The vendor offers it as a cloud service and as an on-premises DMS, built on Microsoft .NET with a Web API and web services, and names integrations with SAP, infor, DATEV, Microsoft and sage.
Around it sit modules for scanning, a process manager, digital files, invoice processing, signatures and compliant archiving, an E-Invoice Hub for Peppol and national portals, and AI solutions on a separate site. The product pages read give no edition tables, so what a given package contains has to be clarified with the vendor.
The main entity is Kendox AG at Bahnhof-Strasse 7 in Oberriet, canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland, with the trade register number CH-020.3.027.687-4. The imprint also lists subsidiaries in Oberhausen and Puchheim in Germany, Vienna in Austria and Kragujevac in Serbia, and names no owner or parent.
Kendox states that its cloud applications run in its own virtual data centres in Germany and Switzerland, and the pages read name no external cloud provider. Switzerland has an EU adequacy decision but sits outside the EEA, which is worth knowing when a contract has to name the jurisdiction.
Kendox publishes ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certificates for the group, plus an IDW PS 880 audit report, a VOI compliance certificate, a GeBüV certificate and a FAST LTA certificate for an archive storage product. GoBD is not mentioned on the compliance page.
No prices are published and no trial is mentioned, so the contact form is the only route to a number. Kendox suits mid-sized companies in Switzerland, Germany and Austria that want integration with SAP, DATEV or Microsoft 365 and a vendor that also sells the surrounding process modules.
