Definition:
A Document Management System (DMS) acts like your digital filing cabinet, secure, and always accessible. It organizes all your client files—whether bank statements, signed agreements, or client uploads—in a single, searchable hub. No more lost attachments or email clutter.
How Does a DMS Help Your Firm?
A DMS ensures that every important document is:
- Stored securely and organized in client-specific folders
- Easy to find with quick preview and full-text search
- Tracked with activity logs showing who accessed, edited, or uploaded what
- Simple to rename, move, download, or delete when needed
With files centralized, your team (and clients, when appropriate) can work faster and more confidently, without chasing documents across multiple tools.
What Makes Tidyflow’s DMS Stand Out
Tidyflow turns document chaos into clarity by offering:
- Unified file storage: All client docs live in one secure, shared space accessible by your team and (when invited) clients.
- Login-free uploads: Need something from a client fast? Send them a one-time upload link with drag & drop ease—no login needed.
- Unlimited secure storage: Upload as much as you need without extra fees. Every file is encrypted and backed up.
- Built-in previews: View common files directly in Tidyflow—no unnecessary downloads or tool-switching.
- Audit trails: Track who did what and when—uploads, views, edits included—for full transparency.
- Simple file management: Rename, relocate, download, and remove documents easily from the interface.
