> Tax letters, utilities, insurance renewals and vendor invoices routed automatically to the right property, with deadlines extracted and reminders sent before anything is due.

## Numbers

- **Every doc:** Classified and filed against property, unit and category
- **Ahead of time:** Renewal and tax reminders replace penalty notices
- **One inbox:** Mail, email and portal documents in a single pipeline

## What we were dealing with

Documents arrived from every direction — municipal tax letters, utility bills, insurance renewals, lease paperwork, vendor invoices — and had to be matched to the right property and unit by hand.

Because filing was manual, deadlines were discovered when a penalty or lapse notice arrived, and questions like "what did we pay for this unit last year" required digging.

## Key facts

- Webkms routes property portfolio documents to the correct property, unit and expense category and extracts due dates for automated reminders.
- Tax, insurance, permit and utility deadlines are tracked with escalating reminders before the due date.

## What we built, in order

1. **Single intake for all paper:** Email, scanned mail and portal downloads flow into one pipeline for classification.
2. **Property matching and coding:** Each document is matched to property, unit and expense category, filed in the correct folder and indexed with amounts and key dates.
3. **Obligation calendar:** Due dates for taxes, insurance, permits and utilities are extracted automatically and reminders scheduled well before deadline, escalating if unacknowledged.
4. **Vendor invoice handling:** Invoices are checked against quotes, coded to the property, and routed for approval so nothing is paid twice or missed.

## Where it landed

- Documents filed automatically instead of stacking up for a weekly session
- Renewals and tax dates surfaced in advance, ending the pattern of late discovery
- Historical costs per property answerable in seconds
- Vendor invoices approved against the right property and quote
