One organised library

Find the right document without searching through folders.

Every file your organisation uploads sits in one library rather than a tree of nested folders. Type part of a filename, or narrow the list by category or property, and the matching records remain alongside the property they belong to.

Categories give the library a consistent structure, so certificates, agreements, insurance and finance paperwork can be reviewed as groups across the portfolio.

  • One document library for your organisation
  • Search by filename
  • Filter by document category and by property
  • Current documents shown apart from historic and archived ones
  • The linked property record shown beside each file

Search matches filenames and the details you record. Fructus does not read file contents, use AI search or classify documents automatically; you choose each category.

Property-linked records

Keep the paperwork with the property.

When a document is linked to a property, it appears on that property’s page. Reviewing an asset means its supporting records are already in front of you, not in a shared drive or someone’s inbox.

The same property records connect to property compliance, so the paperwork and the record it supports stay in the same place.

  • Documents linked to the property they describe
  • Certificates, insurance, surveys and other supporting records
  • Open documents from the relevant property page
  • Fewer disconnected folders and scattered files

Upload and organise

A straightforward way to add and organise files.

The upload form lets you select a file, give it a document category and link it to a property. Where the category supports it, you can also link the file to a related record such as a unit, tenancy or lease.

The form shows the accepted formats and the 25 MB limit before you upload.

Supported formats
PDF, Word, Excel, JPG, PNG
Maximum per file
25 MB

Files are added one at a time through the portal. The relationships offered depend on the category you choose. There is no bulk migration service.

Tenancies and leases

Agreements and correspondence where they belong.

Tenancy agreements and related correspondence can sit with the residential tenancy they concern. Commercial lease documents can sit with the property and the lease, such as the occupational leases a business holds for the premises it occupies.

Agreement terms are managed in tenancy management and commercial lease management; the documents keep the property and agreement context together.

Fructus stores agreements you have already prepared. It does not offer e-signatures, lease drafting or automatic legal notices.

Evidence and history

Keep supporting evidence connected to the record.

Link a certificate or test report to the compliance record it supports, and open it from that record later. When a record expires, its evidence is not discarded: it moves into the historic view, separate from current documents.

  • Link evidence to compliance records
  • Open existing evidence from the record
  • Historic documents kept apart from current ones

Uploading evidence does not verify a certificate, prove legal compliance or update the underlying compliance record. Fructus is not a certification or compliance verification service.

Private, accessible records

Property records available to the right people.

Your document library belongs to your organisation and is reached through the authenticated Fructus portal. Each file keeps its category and its links to the relevant property records. The edit form shows the filename as read-only and lets you update the category and linked records.

Fructus is a responsive web application, not a native mobile app. Sign in from a phone browser to browse the same document library you use at a desk.

Larger screens remain better for wide registers, which is why the desktop views on this page can be scrolled and enlarged.
