No Login Document Chase.
An app idea for small accounting firms.
A chaser that lets clients upload documents from a link without creating an account or logging into a portal.
What the search found
- Who pays
- Solo bookkeeper or small accounting firm
- The problem
- Clients do not upload documents because they have to remember a login and find the file. The bookkeeper spends hours each week chasing the same people.
- The gap
- SmartVault and Mailpro send tracked checklists and reminders, but the results show the login step is still the blocker. A link only upload with no account is the gap.
