Built for the enterprise. Rooted in SharePoint.

ARC-Files was born from a simple insight: document management doesn't need another isolated SaaS silo. It needs governance built right where the files already live — inside SharePoint.

Our Story

For years, commercial real estate firms and enterprise compliance teams struggled with the exact same problem: terabytes of documents stored across Microsoft 365, but no systemic way to search them, govern their metadata, or ensure audit readiness across dozens of markets.

Most solutions forced companies into massive data migrations to proprietary clouds. We built ARC-Files to give teams the metadata control, searchability, and compliance automation they needed — without forcing them to abandon their existing SharePoint investment.

“We built ARC-Files to solve the real problem: not where your files are stored, but whether you can find, govern, and prove compliance across all of them.”

Why We Built ARC-Files

1Teams were spending hours searching for executed leases across disconnected libraries.
2Compliance gaps went undetected because there was no centralized expiration monitoring.
3New market rollouts took weeks of manual SharePoint configuration.
4Metadata was inconsistent, making cross-market reporting unreliable.
