Life at Reach

REACH is the All-in-One SaaS for instant digital customer transactions. In today's digital era, clients have come to expect instant remote experiences from their phones. Unfortunately, in business, those expectations are not met as companies still request clients to do difficult things such as: fill out complex paperwork, print & sign manually, submit evidence via snail mail/fax or even meet face to face. Transacting remotely with businesses can be hard! This leads to reduced conversion rates, longer process time and frustrated customers.\n\nREACH's platform has created an entirely new category that allows firms to deliver the instant digital experiences their customers demand. The platform helps companies instantly collect e-signatures, e-forms, documents & IDs, in either a real-time session or a customer self-service mode. It utilizes the full range of mobile device capabilities to execute all those actions instantly, making business transactions simpler. REACH is an all in one SAAS solution for remote transactions where agents & clients can talk, see, fill out, sign, share, upload, and even verify ID, all from their mobile device with no downloads required. The combination of those basic SaaS tools in one single platform, allows firms to simplify collaboration and remove complexity from remote customer-facing transactions. \n\nUse cases include: onboarding, sales closing, claims processing, agent/client interactions, website support, and remote transactional meetings. Millions of consumers are already using REACH via multiple global banks, insurance companies & other financial institutions.\n\nwww.reachhq.com
