Paperless-ngx Development & Integration

Custom extensions, API integrations, and seamless embedding into your system landscape.

Standard software often covers 90% – we close the last gap. We develop Scripts, connect Paperless-ngx with your tools, and automate workflows.

Development Services

Our Development Services

From API integration to complete custom solutions – we cover the entire spectrum.

API & Interface Integration

We make your systems talk to each other. Whether REST, GraphQL, or webhooks – we connect software with your CRM, ERP, or identity provider.

  • Bidirectional data synchronization
  • Third-party system connections
  • Custom webhooks & event handlers
  • Legacy system integrations

Custom Middleware & Logic

Often data formats from System A don't match System B. We develop middleware that sits in between, transforms data, and controls processes.

  • Transformation layer (ETL)
  • Data stream validation
  • Caching layer for performance
  • Microservices architecture

Embeddings & Custom Apps

Want to use software features in your own intranet or customer portal? We embed software headlessly and build custom UIs around it.

  • White-label integration
  • Custom dashboards (React/Vue)
  • UI extension via plugins
  • Mobile app customizations

Automation & Bots

Save manual work through intelligent automation. We develop bots and scripts that handle tasks automatically.

  • ChatOps & slash commands
  • Automated reporting
  • Workflow orchestration
  • Trigger-based actions
Architecture & Interfaces

DMS as Automation Engine

Paperless is brilliant for archiving. But with scripting, it becomes an engine for business processes. We use interfaces to not just store documents, but trigger actions.

REST API Integration

We connect Paperless with the outside world. Uploads directly from the scanner, retrieval of documents for the customer portal, or bulk exports for audits – all programmatically controlled.

Post-Consumption Hooks

The killer feature: After the OCR process, Paperless executes our scripts. We analyze the text content and decide: Is this an invoice? Then off to the bank API. Is it a contract? Then email to Legal.

Custom Parsers

When standard OCR fails (e.g., with special barcodes or handwritten forms), we integrate specialized parsers or AI vision models into the pipeline.

Practical Examples

Concrete Use Cases

How we implement Paperless-ngx development in practice.

Auto-Pay via FinTS

Problem

Invoices are scanned but then must be manually paid in online banking.

Solution

A post-consumption script extracts IBAN and amount (RegEx/AI), creates an XML transfer, and pushes it (after approval) to the banking API.

RegEx & AI Tagging

Problem

Standard matching is too imprecise. Documents end up in the wrong context.

Solution

Implementation of complex tagging logic. E.g., 'If date > 2024 AND contains Project Number X, then tag with Project-X and move to Folder Y'.

Tax Advisor Export

Problem

At month-end, all invoices must be painstakingly gathered and zipped.

Solution

A cronjob searches all documents with tag 'Invoice' and 'This Month', creates a ZIP with meaningful naming, and uploads it to the tax advisor's shared folder.

Why WZ-IT

Development with Foresight

Update-safe, scalable, and secure – why you should trust us with your development.

Update-safe (No Core Hacking)

We don't modify the open-source software's source code. Instead, we use official APIs and plugin architectures. Your installation remains updatable and maintainable.

Full-Stack Expertise

We understand not just the code, but the infrastructure beneath it. Our developers know how queries affect database performance and how to build scalable APIs.

Modern Tech Stack

We use modern, type-safe technologies: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Go. Plus PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker/Kubernetes for infrastructure.

Security by Design

Every line of code is written with security in mind. Input sanitization, secure authentication (OAuth2/OIDC), and compliance with data protection regulations are standard.
