The problem it solves

You need people to send you multiple documents or images at once, but email attachments and one-at-a-time uploads make collecting and organizing them a hassle. Sorting through what came in from where wastes time you don't have.

Who it fits

A business that regularly needs to collect multiple documents or files from customers or team members.

How it works

  1. Someone fills out a form and attaches multiple files at once.
  2. The system separates the submission into individual files.
  3. Each file is processed one at a time in order.
  4. Every file is saved and accounted for automatically.
What you get

Every file collected in one submission

Anyone can upload several files at once through a simple form, and each one gets processed and accounted for automatically.

What you get

A complete, organized set of the files someone submitted, ready for further use.

What you need

A web form tool with file upload support.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
