Windward

Windward Studios, now Fluent by Apryse, provides a powerful document automation solution that integrates directly into existing applications. It enables businesses to design and generate data-rich documents, reports, and forms using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) as the template designer. This approach allows document owners, rather than developers, to create and manage templates, significantly reducing the need for technical assistance. The core of the solution, Windward Core, is an embeddable engine that merges data from various sources (including SQL, JSON, XML, OData, and 147 vendor data sources) with Office-based templates. It supports generating pixel-perfect output in over 18 different formats, such as DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, and HTML. The platform is designed for ISVs, System Integrators, and Enterprises looking to streamline document creation, ensure compliance, and eliminate manual errors across diverse business functions like sales, finance, HR, and lending.
