What M-Files does
M-Files is document-management software that organizes documents by metadata and context with workflow automation, used across industries; it is not automotive-specific. A dealership would use it in the back office for deal-jacket and document management rather than any retail workflow. Buyers should evaluate integration with dealership accounting and the DMS, and multi-location support.
