UpLink - Request documents at scale, and track them like a CRM

Hi hunters & fellow builders: I’m Alex Maher, co-founder of UpLink, along with @alexander_grant1, @brady_ochse, and @nickyarmesch. We are very excited to launch UpLink on Product Hunt today. Special thanks to @mwseibel for hunting us. 🟢 What it is: UpLink is document collection software. It’s primarily used by accountants, auditors, lawyers, and lenders. For example, we help the typical auditor collect up to 10,000 documents from dozens of clients every year, which they used to do through email and excel. 🔵 Why we built it: Alex Grant and I started our careers in Big4, auditing some of the largest companies in the world. The worst part about that job was the back and forth with the client on all the documents we needed to gather, which was done over email while keeping track of status in Excel. It was painful for everyone involved. Big banks and accounting firms have spent millions of dollars developing custom in-house solutions to solve this problem for themselves, and with UpLink, we're making that available to everyone. 🟣How it works: 1. Need lots of documents from clients? Create a project in UpLink and add document requests to specific individual assignees. Use Excel to upload in bulk. 2. Clients get an automated email with a secure link to upload docs 3. You’re notified with each upload and can approve or reject each item. 4. The dashboard updates in real time so you can track everything. ❓Have you had this problem? Can you think of other industries and use cases? Let us know in the comments!

Cool concept! Congrats on the launch!

Great idea! Is data security guaranteed?

It has been really fun building UpLink with our team and I look forward to hearing how we can make it even better! If anyone has a use case for UpLink or a feature that would make your life easier, we’d love to hear about it!

Congrats on the launch!

Awesome product, congrats.

Hi everyone! I'm Brady, one of the developers of UpLink. We're really excited to share UpLink with everyone! Even if you only have a second, make sure to check out the demo. We tried to make it as easy as possible to see the capabilities of the app without even needing an account. The demo is local to your browser only, so feel free to try things out without worrying about sending any actual communications. If you like what you see, let us know! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the app and if you thought the demo was an effective introduction.

Awesome product! How are you marketing this at the moment apart from PH?

Brilliant idea! Congratulations on the launch!

Congratulations on your launch

Congrats on the launch! I faced the issue you are trying to solve with UpLink several times ... this will be really helpful.

I've used Ironclad for legal and HR doc. Curious how this compares (sounds like Uplink is more general purpose?), @alex_maher.

I love the idea! Congrats on the launch!

Thats very useful !! @alexmaher

Congrats on the launch @alex_maher super impressive product !

Congrats on launching!

Congrats on your launch.

Congrats on the launch @alex_maher! Would love to see if this can work for our use case, but it seems like the website doesn't have any of the API documentation. We'd be looking to embed the functionality with our internal and external tools as a part of our experience for our clients and advisors, so being able to see what's possible via the API is crucial. Hopefully you can point to the right direction ;)
