The problem it solves

When a process generates several files, you often need to send them as one package instead of separate attachments. Manually zipping files together every time is a tedious extra step.

Who it fits

Teams whose automated processes generate multiple files that need to be delivered as one package.

How it works

  1. Starts when multiple files are ready to be combined
  2. Collects each file's contents into a single item
  3. Bundles the files together into one archive
  4. Delivers the finished archive for download or sharing
What you get

Files bundled without doing it by hand

Your separate files get bundled into a single archive ready to download or share.

What you get

A single zip archive containing all the combined files.

What you need

Access to the file storage or system generating the original files.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
