BGL releases automated document reminders in CAS 360

BGL releases automated document reminders in CAS 360

BGL Corporate Solutions announce that automated document reminders are now available in its company compliance software, CAS 360.

“It’s fantastic to release another highly anticipated feature,” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “Set and forget document reminders will make following up with clients for outstanding company change documents, Annual Returns/Reviews and trust documents a breeze!”

“Traditionally, company professionals have used spreadsheets and calendars to track documents sent by email or snail-mail to their clients for signing, approval or some other action,” continued Lesh. “Sending consistent document reminders is crucial to avoid late lodgment penalties, but without automation, the process is tedious and time-consuming.”

“When a document is prepared in CAS 360, CAS 360 will automatically create reminders to be sent to their client,” said Lesh. “Clients have complete control, selecting the date and time of each reminder, if the reminders are sent by email, SMS or both, the email/SMS template, who the sender is and who the reminders go to.”

“When set, the document reminders appear as pending in the Document Deadline Alert and can be managed in CAS 360’s Pending Outbox screen,” added Lesh. “Once a document is lodged, the pending reminders are disabled. Plus, it’s easy to customise the reminders based on the needs of the client and toggle them on or off when required. It’s an excellent and well thought out feature which will save our clients heaps of time.”

“When a client logs in to the product, CAS 360 will show an Automation Report that details the automated tasks CAS 360 completed since their last login. It’s CAS 360 doing the manual work for you,” Lesh noted.

This automated document reminder functionality comes just months after BGL released its automated debt reminders in CAS 360, which sends automatic reminders to clients for outstanding debts to ASIC. “For anyone still manually tracking documents or debt and sending follow-ups to their clients, these features are game-changers,” noted Lesh.

CAS 360 now supports over 700,000 companies and 117,000 trusts across Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, with plans to release CAS 360 in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom in the not-too-distant future.

The partnership with SuiteFiles will help clients automate workflows such as annual returns and company management, says BGL.

BGL Corporate Solutions’ company compliance management software CAS 360 has integrated with cloud document management software SuiteFiles.

BGL’s managing director Ron Lesh said that the integration would help clients increase the automation of their business processes.

“It’s great to add SuiteFiles to the BGL ecosystem,” said Mr Lesh.

“This integration will help CAS 360 and SuiteFiles clients in Australia and New Zealand automate workflows such as annual returns/reviews, filing and company management.”

BGL said that SuiteFiles was a document management software that would save clients time by allowing them to securely manage, edit, share and sign documents.

The integration between CAS 360 and SuiteFiles would enable BGL clients to upload or generate documents in CAS 360 and then automatically save them in SuiteFiles, according to BGL.

Chief executive of SuiteFiles Andrew Sims said he was excited to integrate with CAS 360 and BGL.

“CAS 360 was one of our most requested integrations because of the number of clients SuiteFiles and BGL share,” said Mr Sims.

“We’re pleased to bring CAS 360’s automated workflows and our document management together for the benefit of our shared clients.”

BGL said the functionality created by streamlining the workflow between the two applications would remove the need to manually add documents to SuiteFiles and also improve the visibility of data and documents across clients’ business.

“This one-way integration allows SuiteFiles to pull documents and data directly from CAS 360,” said Mr Lesh.

“Plus, any changes to documents prepared in CAS 360 will automatically synchronise to SuiteFiles. It’s seamless!”

SuiteFiles was founded in 2012 with a goal to help businesses become fully cloud-based and save them time by making it easier for them to communicate with their clients and internal teams.

SuiteFiles integration with BGL’s CAS 360 comes after having already integrated with Xero and also Microsoft Office 365.

Founded in 1983, BGL Corporate Solutions started with only two employees and has grown to become one of the largest developers of compliance software in the world, with more than 180 employees globally.

BGL provides cloud-based company compliance management, SMSF and portfolio administration software to over 8,000 businesses in 15 countries.

BGL’s clients range from major accounting and law firms to financial planners, as well as individual SMSF trustees.
