Documents filed automatically
Files from email, forms and other systems are named and saved to the right client, project or matter folder.
Box integration consulting
Connect Box to the rest of your business.
Box keeps an organization's documents secure and shareable, inside and outside the company. We build the connections around it, so files land in the right folder on their own and the information inside them reaches the systems that need it.
Keep it, then extend it
What Box does well, and where teams outgrow it.
Where Box shines
- Secure sharing with outsidersClients, vendors and partners can upload and collaborate on files with permissions you control.
- Permissions and historyFolder-level access and version history keep a clear record of who saw and changed what.
- AI on your own documentsBox AI can answer questions about files, summarize them and pull out key details, working on documents already stored in Box.
Where teams hit the limits
- Filing is manualContracts, invoices and forms arrive by email and someone downloads, renames and files each one.
- Documents don't talk to systemsThe details inside a document, such as amounts, dates and parties, still get typed into the CRM, ERP or case system.
- Folders drift from recordsFolder structures fall out of step with clients, projects and matters in your other systems, and people stop trusting them.
What we build around it
Connecting Box to the rest of your work.
Details read and entered
Key fields are pulled from contracts, invoices and forms and entered in your other systems, with a person checking anything unclear.
Folders created with each new record
A new client, deal or project creates its folder with the right structure and access, and archives it when work ends.
Uploads that start the next step
A file landing in a folder starts a review, an approval or an update in another system.
Client upload portals
Clients and vendors send documents into a secure folder, and your team is told what arrived and what's missing.
Search and answers across your files
Ask questions across a set of documents and get answers with links back to the source files.
Before we start
How access works.
Your Box admin approves the connection in the Admin Console. Server connections, which run without a person signed in, always need explicit admin authorization, and they work through a dedicated service account that only sees the folders it is given (see Box's authorization guide). Box can notify a connection when files are uploaded or changed, so it reacts right away instead of checking repeatedly. Box plans include a monthly allowance of calls from custom connections, and per-user limits apply, so we design within both. We build and test with a separate Box developer account or test folders before touching live content.

Documents piling up
Contracts, forms, invoices, reports. The information your business needs is locked inside PDFs, and someone has to read each one.
Read moreMessy client onboarding
You just won the work. Now come the forms, follow-ups and handoffs. It's your client's first real experience of you, and it often feels like chaos.
Read moreRetyping the same information
An order arrives by email. Someone types it into one system, then another, then a spreadsheet. It's slow and dull, and mistakes are easy to make.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do we have to replace Box?
No. Box stays where your documents live. We build around it and connect what it doesn't reach.
Does Box already connect to our other tools?
Box has ready-made connections to many popular tools. Use them if they fit. Custom work makes sense when filing depends on data in your own systems or when details inside documents need to reach several places.
Can you use Box AI, or do you bring your own?
Either. Box AI works well on documents already in Box. For extraction that feeds other systems or needs a person to review, we sometimes use a separate model and keep a record of every result.
Will this break when Box updates?
We use Box's supported connection, follow its developer changelog and add checks that alert us if something stops working.
Are you a certified Box partner?
No. We're an independent integration consultant and development team. We build with Box's official developer tools and approved access, using the access your team grants, and we work alongside your Box admin or implementation partner rather than replacing them.
