CHARTION \ Document Generation Platform
Turn business data into precise, branded, customer-facing documents with Cognidox, Cognity’s platform for designing, generating and governing documents at scale.
Connect it to your CRM, billing and order systems, let business teams own their templates, and produce contracts, offers, invoices and regulatory letters as native Office and PDF documents, with every output traceable to its template and data.
Illustrative view of the template workspace: versions, labels, conditions and missing-label highlighting
From manual assembly to automated document production
Customer-facing documents must be branded, legally accurate and personalised to the customer, the service and the jurisdiction. Producing them manually, or with print platforms that need a developer for every change, creates bottlenecks, version drift and compliance risk.
Cognidox separates document structure, content logic and runtime data into three independent layers. Business users decide what documents look like and which data appears where. Integration teams connect the data sources once. At runtime, Cognidox resolves the template against the data and renders the final document natively.
Design a document once and reuse it across business scenarios, channels and segments, without redeploying applications.
Design templates with the tools your teams know
AUTHOR IN WORD OR DIRECTLY ONLINE
Templates are standard Word documents with embedded Cognidox markup. Authors work in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice, or edit and update templates directly in the Cognidox UI without offline modifications.
COMPOSE COMPLEX DOCUMENTS
A purpose-built markup language handles conditionals, iterations and inline expressions. Assemble documents from reusable fragments such as cover pages, jurisdiction-specific clauses, appendices and HTML dynamic sections.
TEST BEFORE YOU PUBLISH
Test templates directly through the user interface, compare versions online and resolve gaps before go-live. Labels that are not yet mapped are identified and highlighted automatically.
Put business rules in the hands of business teams
MAP DATA WITH LABELS
Labels connect data fields to template placeholders through JSON paths or data model references, with priorities and optional conditions that control when each label applies.
BUILD CONDITIONS VISUALLY
Create reusable business rules with a visual query builder using AND/OR logic and field operators. Labels can be used directly within the Conditions tab, so rules build on the same mappings as the template.
REUSE WHAT ALREADY WORKS
Migrate labels and conditions between documents to reuse proven mappings and rules across document types. JSON-schema data models keep field resolution consistent for every document of a given type.
How CHARTION turns structured data into delivered documents, each traceable to its template version and input data
Capture data with generated forms
GENERATE FORMS FROM YOUR TEMPLATES
The Form Generator builds data-capture forms automatically from uploaded templates, with support for both HTML and XML forms. Forms can be embedded in any internal or external site.
OPEN GENERATION TO EXTERNAL SYSTEMS
The Form Generator is exposed to external systems, so external applications can provide the input data required for document generation without using the Cognidox UI.
COMBINE FORM INPUT WITH SYSTEM DATA
A form can collect a few identifiers, such as a customer or contract number, while Cognidox retrieves the remaining data from CRM, ERP or data warehouse sources and merges both before generating the document.
Generate on demand, in batch and at scale
RESPOND IN REAL TIME
Client systems call the REST API when a document is needed and receive it synchronously, or queue generation asynchronously for long-running requests.
PRODUCE LARGE VOLUMES IN PARALLEL
Batch triggers process full datasets in parallel, from a supplied record set or a data source query, with status tracking and callbacks for long-running jobs.
ORCHESTRATE THE FULL DOCUMENT JOURNEY
The document orchestrator coordinates template selection, data gathering, generation and format conversion as one managed flow, then delivers through email, secure portals, physical print and enveloping, or DMS vaults with recipient notifications.
Keep every document compliant and traceable
VERSION WITH EFFECTIVE DATES
Templates follow a DRAFT → ACTIVE lifecycle. Versions with non-overlapping date ranges roll over to new layouts on a scheduled date, so the correct legal text is used at the time of generation.
TRACE EVERY OUTPUT
Every generated document is traceable to its template version and input data, supporting audits, investigations and regulatory review.
PREPARE DOCUMENTS FOR SIGNATURE
Define and manage electronic signature placeholders within templates, so generated documents are ready for downstream eSignature workflows.
SUPPORT ACCESSIBLE COMMUNICATIONS
Generate documents that comply with WCAG and PDF accessibility guidelines, usable by customers who rely on assistive technologies.
Fit into your existing technology landscape
CONNECT ANY DATA SOURCE
Cognidox accepts JSON and XML payloads and connects to REST APIs, CRM, ERP, BSS and billing platforms. All capabilities are available through a REST API documented with OpenAPI.
RUN WHERE YOU NEED IT
Stateless Java microservices run on Docker and Kubernetes, on premises, in a private or public cloud, or in a hybrid model, with horizontal scaling for campaign launches and billing cycles.
SECURE AND MULTI-TENANT
OAuth 2.0 via Keycloak protects every business API, with role-based access for administrators and editors. Tenant isolation lets one deployment serve multiple brands, operators or business units.
Apply Cognidox to real business needs
CONTRACTS AND ONBOARDING PACKS
Generate new subscription contracts, SIM activations, SIM changes and welcome packs, personalised by product, segment and language.
OFFERS AND PROPOSALS
Produce branded commercial offers that combine customer data, pricing and the clauses that apply to each case.
INVOICES AND BILLING COMMUNICATIONS
Render invoices and billing letters at volume, with consistent layout for every customer and channel.
REGULATORY AND OFFICIAL LETTERS
Issue notices and regulatory correspondence from effective-dated templates, with a full audit trail.
SELF-SERVICE DOCUMENT REQUESTS
Let customers, agents or partner systems request documents through generated forms, with the data completed automatically from your core systems.
Proven in production
Cognidox runs in production at a major Telecommunications Greece, generating customer-facing documents for B2B and B2C segments in Greek and English, from new mobile contracts to SIM management and invoices.
Enterprise delivery, backed by Cognity
Cognidox is part of Cognity’s digital Engagement Platform (dEP) and can also run standalone or alongside any enterprise system. It builds on Cognity’s long experience in core systems, integration, CRM, customer communications and business transformation.
We work with your teams to identify the documents that matter most, connect the required data, migrate existing templates and set up the controls your compliance teams need.
From the first template to full production, the goal is practical: documents your business can change quickly and trust completely.
