The document collection challenge for consulting firms
Manual document collection creates bottlenecks that slow down your operations and frustrate your clients.
Engagement kickoff delays cost billable hours
Consulting engagements cannot start until NDAs are signed, data is received, and system access is granted. Every day of delay is a day of unbilled time for your team.
Client data arrives in fragments across channels
Clients send spreadsheets via email, share drives via links, provide credentials via phone, and mail physical documents. Assembling everything into a coherent picture takes days.
Multiple stakeholders at client organizations slow things down
Different documents come from different people at the client — finance sends financials, IT provides access, legal signs NDAs. Coordinating across client stakeholders is slow.
How ZenDoc.AI solves document collection for consulting firms
Purpose-built features that automate the document collection workflow from request to receipt.
Engagement-type templates
Pre-built checklists for strategy, operations, technology, and financial advisory engagements. Each template captures the specific data and documents needed for that engagement type.
Multi-stakeholder document requests
Send different document requests to different people at the client organization. The CFO gets financial data requests, IT gets access requests, legal gets the NDA.
Secure data room
All collected documents are organized in a secure, searchable repository. Team members can access client materials without digging through email threads.
Engagement progress tracking
Track the onboarding status of every active engagement. See which clients are fully provisioned and which still have outstanding document requests.

Frequently asked questions
Can I send document requests to multiple people at a client organization?

How do consulting teams access collected documents?
All documents are organized in a secure repository accessible to authorized team members. Search by document type, client, or engagement. No more digging through email threads or shared drives.
