Software built for the mission, starting with PaperlessZen.

Rigason builds a family of software and services for mission-driven organizations, with AI woven into every workflow. The first is PaperlessZen, an electronic document and contract management system. More will follow, each held to the same promise.

PaperlessZen · EDMS + CLM

Decades of paper. Seconds to the answer.

Every document your institution can't afford to lose (gift agreements, contracts, MOUs, board records) in one place you can actually search. PaperlessZen reads each page, files it automatically, and tracks what it promises.

One system for the whole life of a document

From the moment it arrives to the day it can be destroyed.

Intake & auto-filing

Scanning, email capture, and uploads. Agents read, classify, and route every document to the right place. No manual sorting, and every action yours to approve.

Search & answers

Full-text search across every page. Ask in plain language and get the passage and the page, not a folder to dig through.

Obligation tracking

Deadlines, renewal terms, and obligations pulled from the text automatically, so nothing important quietly lapses.

Approvals & governance

Approval routing, audit trails, and role-based access, including a personal donor portal that knows their gift, their terms, and what needs their signature.

Retention & legal hold

Retention schedules, legal holds, permanent record locking, and a complete log of every view, share, and download.

Works with your stack

Desktop app, third-party integrations, and CRM connections. PaperlessZen fits the tools you already use.

FAQ

Common questions.

What people ask before bringing PaperlessZen to their institution.

What is PaperlessZen?

PaperlessZen is Rigason's first product: an electronic document and contract management system (EDMS + CLM) that turns an institution's paper, PDFs, and contracts into searchable, governed institutional memory, with AI agents handling intake, filing, and obligation tracking.

Who is PaperlessZen built for?

PaperlessZen is built for the teams that hold an institution's document trail: advancement, general counsel, finance, and records & archives, primarily at universities, schools, and nonprofits.

How does document intake and filing work?

Documents arrive by scan, email capture, or upload. Agents read, classify, and route each one to the right place automatically, no manual sorting, with every action reviewable and yours to approve.

Does PaperlessZen track contract obligations and renewal deadlines automatically?

Yes. PaperlessZen pulls deadlines, renewal terms, and obligations directly from the text of each document, so nothing important quietly lapses.

Will our data stay ours, and does PaperlessZen fit the tools we already use?

Yes. Your data stays yours and portable, with retention schedules, legal holds, and a complete audit log of every view, share, and download. PaperlessZen also includes a desktop app and integrates with third-party tools and CRMs, so it fits your existing stack instead of replacing it.

How do we get started, and what does it cost?

Reach out directly at hello@rigason.com. We're working with a small group of advancement teams first, no forms, no funnels, so pricing is discussed directly based on your institution's needs.

A family, not a one-off

PaperlessZen is the first. It won't be the last.

We are building a family of products for mission-driven organizations, each one built for how this work actually happens, each one a pleasure to use, and each one leaving your data yours. We'll name the rest when they're real, not before.
