Provide instructions, forms, and guidelines centrally.
Which version is currently valid? Forms, service instructions, and guidelines are scattered across drives, mailboxes, and folders in municipalities. We provide them centrally, up-to-date, and mobile-ready.

Centralize service instructions, forms, and guidelines
A new application form, an updated service instruction, a revised guideline — and suddenly three versions are circulating at once. In many municipalities, important documents are scattered across network drives, email attachments, and filing cabinets. Field workers can’t access most of them anyway: over 40% of operational staff don’t have a fixed PC or network drive access. These non-desk workers often rely on outdated versions. With Kibi Connect, you can centrally provide forms, instructions, and knowledge — searchable, up-to-date, and mobile, GDPR-compliant and hosted in Germany.
Why does administration constantly search for the current document?
Because the same content exists in multiple places — on drives, in mailboxes, in folders — without a single source that definitively holds the current version.
When a document is distributed via email, it immediately exists in many copies. If something changes, the new version doesn’t reach everyone — and no one can be sure which version is valid. For citizen contact and legal certainty, this is a real risk. A central platform that works on any device replaces the many copies with a single, current source that the town hall, yard crew, and field service can all rely on.
How do you centrally provide forms and guidelines?
Via a searchable wiki and a shared file repository — one place for instructions, forms, and templates instead of scattered drives.
In the wiki, you store service instructions, processes, and guidelines in a structured and searchable way. Forms and templates are kept in files in one location, and with the office applications, you can edit documents directly in the platform — EU-compliant, without routing through US cloud tools. Employees find what they need in seconds, instead of clicking through folder structures.
How do you ensure everyone has the current version?
By having only one maintained version — and actively communicating changes as news instead of letting them sink in inboxes.
Since the document is centrally stored, everyone automatically works with the same version — no more outdated attachments. When an instruction is updated, announce it via a news post; staff receive a push notification and know that something new applies. You can target affected departments using groups. This turns “Did anyone not get this?” into a traceable, current status.
How do documents reach employees without a PC?
Through mobile use — the same wiki and files are available on smartphones, without network drive access or VPN.
The real benefit is out in the field: the yard crew retrieves equipment documentation, field service accesses the correct form, cleaning staff view the hygiene plan — all on their smartphones. What was previously only available on office PCs is now accessible to operational teams. This reduces inquiries and dependence on individuals who “know where it is.”
Is it GDPR-compliant and EU-sovereign?
Yes — documents and editing take place in a single platform, GDPR-compliant and hosted in Germany, as an EU alternative to US cloud services.
Municipal documents don’t belong on private drives or in US cloud tools. Kibi Connect operates in compliance with GDPR in Germany (Hetzner) — Made in Germany. You control who sees and edits which documents via roles and areas. To learn what digital sovereignty means for municipalities in practice, read Digital sovereignty in the municipality.
