Forms Logic
Improving Efficiencies with Digital Forms Processing

Documentation and workflow are crucial functions in financial services. It is easy to miss information or enter inaccurate data, and it's difficult to backtrack and find an error. Forms Logic solves this challenge by digitizing and automating paperwork for financial advisors with its Navigator platform, improving workflow efficiencies and eliminating potential errors.

"When a form is completed, Navigator maps the data across the entire workflow bundle and allows it to be utilized limitlessly, saving time and improving efficiencies," states Rick Burgess, founder of Forms Logic.

The Navigator platform is a cloud-based workflow management system that stores data and automates paperwork. It is integrated with top advisory tools and validates the data to detect omissions or mistakes. The platform's processing system is built on a "data first" principle with accurate data on the backend to enable easy and repeatable cascading of data across subsequent documents.

Forms Logic simplifies and accelerates time-consuming paperwork by filling out forms with pre-populated client data. It electronically converts vendor forms, normalizing them across millions of data set points in real time. Clients can quickly reopen a form, switch the data, and resubmit if they find information amiss.

An essential workflow tool, Navigator was born out of Burgess' first-hand experience of dealing with data entry errors. After his stint at a large commercial debt brokerage firm, Burgess developed software to manage documents better. This code is the cornerstone for Navigator and the driver of Form Logic's establishment as a data-centric firm.

In the dynamic world of financial services, where decisions are made quickly and new products are being created daily, Navigator helps to process this information at the click of a button without interrupting the ongoing documentation.

To that end, Forms Logic houses and maintains a comprehensive forms library of over 500,000, including firm proprietary, standardized custodian, vendor, and banking forms.

Additional benefits of Forms Logic's Navigator platform involves security and compliance. The cloud-based application is 256-bit encrypted, ensuring that each document deposited into the platform is individually encrypted using the highest standard of encryption algorithms. These are the same algorithms used by the world's largest banks. From a compliance standpoint, each transaction record complies with FINRA Rule 17-a3 and 17-a4 Books and Records.

Navigator captures all aspects of the e-signature process. With each e-signing, an audit trail is created, including email, IP addresses, and the exact time of signing.

Navigator has built unique and secure user roles configurable to any firm's hierarchal security model. These roles enable security parameters around filing cabinets, indexing fields, document types, and even notes, so only those who need access are given access. Financial firms are in a highly regulated industry and are at risk of security and reputational damage for exposing personally identifiable information. Forms Logic's Navigator Platform helps to mitigate these risks.

Forms Logic's ability to complete client data across multiple forms with its Navigator platform transforms the typical financial advisor experience into an automated and efficient one.
