Onboarding
Streamline the onboarding process
Accelerate your onboarding process
Bringing your customers, vendors and/or employees on board faster presents can create a substantial uplift in revenues, retention and more. Sounds straightforward, but it's difficult to execute because current onboarding solutions are manual, costly and inefficient. These systems lack the ability to securely store, manage, and ensure compliance for sensitive onboarding documentation, such as W-2s, contracts, and vendor agreements. With Box, teams can shorten the onboarding cycle, reduce errors, secure sensitive data, and deliver a seamless experience — for employees, vendors or clients — from beginning to end.
