How UK firms use this workflow

Typical firm scenario

Instead of asking “did anyone chase ABC Ltd for their bank statement?”, the team opens one client record and sees bank statements marked missing, upload link sent, and last reminder date.

Example: Bank statements

A UK firm adds "Bank statements" to the client checklist, sends a secure upload link, and reviews missing items from one dashboard instead of reopening email threads.

Example: ID and address proof

A UK firm adds "ID and address proof" to the client checklist, sends a secure upload link, and reviews missing items from one dashboard instead of reopening email threads.
