Find out how one company ended up saving 1000 hours per year by implementing a single tool – Draftable’s API.
When it comes to tax filing and precise accounting services, this company is the go-to choice for over 4 million Americans.

Compliance is a top priority, meaning they need to know what’s in every document they send out.
Why would an enterprise such as this choose Draftable? Here are a few reasons:

After hearing about Draftable, this company realised they could fully automate the review process for their documents.
Accuracy is paramount to this company, as they review many documents containing detailed information and data. Every single year, specialists at the company sit down to manually review tax instructions and other tax files. These could be anything from identity theft report templates to tax refund worksheets and every type of tax document in between.
These documents are crucial for the completion of IRS (the US Internal Revenue Service) forms. However, many of these forms are updated each year, meaning that year on year, they arrive in different formats, and the information on them constantly changes. As the US has a comprehensive set of filing regulations, the company’s strength lies in being able to ensure compliance for its clients.

As a result, the accounting team would have to manually go through and check each form was accurate before completing cross-checks with other documents to ensure everything matched.
This meant that staff were spending thousands upon thousands of hours checking the forms, a manual process where it’s easy to miss a small mistake or difference between documents.
With a range of file formats and types of documents in use, the company assumed that there was no way the process could be automated for such a specific use case.
That was, until they got in touch with Draftable. Luckily, our comprehensive API was ready to lend them a helping hand with document checking.
“Draftable’s developers did a great job making the API easy to integrate and use. Testing and setup were super easy on our end.” – The Client
The company ultimately decided to try out Draftable’s API solution. They integrated this tool with their current internal document review software to create a simple automated workflow.
Now, the staff could upload their files in bulk and share tax documents and comparisons with each other directly from the tool. This has simplified the process they go through each year as they update files and complete compliance checks.
Today, they can enjoy viewing easy to read document comparisons in an intuitive interface. Seeing the files side by side with edits highlighted has transformed the review process from a fully manual one to a much easier task.

Since implementing the Draftable document comparison API, the tax reviewers at the company have reduced the number of errors on the 60,000+ files they process each year. They figured out that they are saving roughly 1 minute on each document review, adding up to 1000 hours saved on every single tax cycle!
Because of the API’s seamless integration with their current systems, accountants will no longer miss an update to a file, helping the company offer even more assurance to their clients that their tax filings are accurate.
By being able to compare an updated tax form or law with the previous version, the reviewers can now see what’s changed instantly, allowing them to adapt faster to any changes. That way, they can prepare in advance for the following tax season and ensure their processes will run smoothly with the changes.
