Document & Financials Collection

Q: Does someone still need to review the documents?

Case managers still review flagged mismatches and unusual cases, but routine collection and data entry no longer require manual effort.

Q: Will this work with the tools our firm already uses?

The automation connects with common CRM, email, texting, and file storage tools already used by debt management firms.

Q: What happens if a client never sends their documents?

The automation continues sending scheduled reminders and flags the case for manual follow-up if documents remain outstanding.

Q: Is this suitable for a small case management team?

Yes, it fits teams of any size handling client document collection, from a single case manager to a larger operations group.

Automated reminders and intake flows get the right documents in hand faster, so debt cases move forward without bottlenecks.

About This Automation

Collecting bank statements, pay stubs, and other financial documents from clients requires repeated follow-up by phone and email before a case can move forward. Manual chasing and re-typing figures into spreadsheets delays every case and creates room for missed or mismatched data.

An automated version sends checklists, tracks what has arrived, and follows up on missing items without manual effort. It also pulls figures directly from uploaded documents and flags mismatches, so a case is ready for review much sooner.

Key features:

Send personalized document checklists automatically after intake

Track submissions and detect missing items in real time

Send reminder emails and texts until all documents are received

Extract income and expense figures directly from uploaded files

Flag mismatches between stated budgets and extracted figures

Notify the advisor automatically when a file is complete
