BookStack

BookStack organises corporate knowledge the way people think: on shelves, in books, chapters and pages. The open-source platform makes manuals, process documentation and internal guides centrally searchable – with a WYSIWYG editor that even non-technical staff can understand straight away. With Managed BookStack Hosting from OpenHosting, you bring this knowledge management system to your organisation ready to use: you fill it with content, we run the infrastructure.

The core benefit is that scattered knowledge comes together in one searchable place and stays up to date. Every change is version-controlled, links between pages are created automatically, and full-text search finds content in seconds. A sprawl of files becomes a maintained, reliable knowledge base.

Who is BookStack suitable for?

BookStack is ideal for SMEs, medical practices and associations that wish to replace scattered Word documents and folder structures with a centralised, version-controlled knowledge database: quality manuals, onboarding documents, IT documentation, support knowledge or association regulations. Trust offices and law firms document processes and checklists, while trade and craft businesses store work instructions. Thanks to role- and permission-based management, staff can view only the content that is relevant to them – and newcomers get up to speed quickly thanks to the clear book structure.
