About SmartVault

The Affordable Paperless Office Is Now a Reality

SmartVault is the easiest way to store and share documents online. In 2007, founder Eric Pulaski had a vision to deliver a paperless solution that was both intuitive and easy to use. Built as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, SmartVault's first release in the fall of 2008 delivered a robust document management solution optimized for and tightly integrated with QuickBooks®. The result was a solution that offered a built-in hierarchy for storing and sharing documents and source files attached to their specific transactions in QuickBooks via a patent-pending Toolbar — creating a seamless user experience for scanning, attaching, and finding documents within a familiar application.

Building on the core principle of being both intuitive and easy to use, SmartVault's second major release in early 2010 delivers features that expand the solution beyond QuickBooks users — to everyone in a business, accounting practice, or professional services firm. From the ability to create and customize a folder structure to meet specific business needs, to intuitive Windows integration that allows users to map existing folders or drives directly to SmartVault, businesses and accounting professionals can now enjoy a single solution to manage their files and documents securely online. SmartVault customers get the power of a Web-based paperless solution coupled with an intuitive Toolbar, integrated with popular SMB applications like QuickBooks, to deliver the easiest way to go paperless.

Convenience of the Cloud

The efficiencies of SaaS are well documented and the predictions of growth in the online storage market are robust with many businesses predicted to be using Web-based solutions in the near future. From its inception, SmartVault recognized that to deliver a service that was affordable and easy to use, leveraging the power of the Web was the only way to go. SmartVault was the first SaaS-based document management solution on the market that was integrated with QuickBooks. For SmartVault customers, there is no hardware to install and no need to configure server software and updates. New features are released frequently and are automatically provisioned. Traditional desktop applications just can't match this.

QuickBooks and Beyond

Today, thousands of businesses and accounting professionals use SmartVault to store and share all their business documents securely online. The unique integration with QuickBooks via the SmartVault Toolbar, and the Windows Explorer integration that offers a seamless path for users to move documents from their local drive to store them securely in the cloud, have made SmartVault one of the most trusted brands for online document management in the industry.

SmartVault, a privately-held company based in Houston, Texas, will continue to develop powerful integrations with other popular applications used today by the small-to-medium sized business market. We are currently developing integrations with Microsoft Outlook, Salesforce.com, and QuickBooks Online, as well as other commonly used accounting and finance applications. Around the office, we refer to ourselves as the Switzerland of document management — no matter what applications our customers prefer to use, SmartVault can offer a common path to storing and sharing all their business content easily and securely.

Businesses need a better way to go paperless — and SmartVault will continue to deliver.
