About SeamlessDocs
Founded in 2011, SeamlessDocs was one of the first pioneers of a cloud based government. While the SaaS (software as a service) model was widespread in the private sector, most governments still relied on paper processes or legacy software hosted on local servers. But SeamlessDocs’ cloud based form solution offered governments the opportunity to elegantly automate their paper processes. “Governments had unique needs and got stuck trying to repurpose other tools,” Ende remarks. “We’ve helped hundreds of state and local governments go digital, most recently through the first ever CRM built specifically for government, or as we coined it, the GRM.”
To date, over 27 million citizens have submitted digital forms through the SeamlessGov platform, resulting in tens of millions of dollars saved by governments on processing costs. “Government is Beautiful,” Ende insists. “We are so excited to put more resources towards fulfilling our mission of creating beautiful government interactions.”
