About This Automation

Due diligence document collection involves gathering contracts, inspection reports, and disclosures within tight settlement deadlines. Manually chasing overdue paperwork and cross checking every file against a checklist consumes hours and increases the risk of missed deadlines.

An automated version creates the checklist and client folder the moment a contract is signed, sends requests automatically, and escalates overdue items without manual follow up. The result is a faster, more consistent path to a settlement ready file.

Key features:
Generate a document checklist automatically based on contract type and jurisdiction
Create a shared client folder as soon as a contract is signed
Send document requests to solicitors and inspectors without manual drafting
Monitor deadlines daily and re-send requests automatically when items are overdue
Verify received documents against the checklist for completeness
Route completed packs for signature and notify the team when a file is settlement ready
