Recognizing that different sectors have unique knowledge management needs, we expanded beyond our original mission:

• 2024: DocuManos Free launched as an open-source alternative to USAID DEC
• 2025: DocuManos Pro introduced for enterprise customers
• 2025: CadastreHub launched to serve land administration professionals

Today, DocuManos serves organizations worldwide, from small NGOs in developing countries to large government agencies implementing digital transformation initiatives.
