HomeID - The Best Online Document Management, Tracking & Storage System

 

What is a Document Management System?

A document management system (DMS) is a technology-driven system that allows a user to store, track, and access files via the internet from any device. HomeID is a secure cloud-based document tracking system that allows you to store and retrieve files, photos, and important details regarding your home assets, even while on the go.

With HomeID, you can take a picture of the brand new couch you bought for your living room, along with another photo of your sales receipt and warranty information, and store it within the living room “Space” section of your Home ID portal for easy accessibility later.

Shopping for a nice coffee table to go with your new couch? View the dimensions of your couch and find out how much you spent via HomeID’s online document management system so that you can make a smart purchasing decision while in the store.

But HomeID isn’t only about storing documents, it’s also about storing information. Want to record or view your maintenance schedule and any specified details while out in the yard? Need to recall how much more ply-wood you need for the new balcony you’re building while at the home improvement store? Looking to seamlessly file insurance claims following a catastrophe to ensure that all of your assets are quickly recovered? Or simply want to contact your most reliable licensed plumber to perform urgent repairs? HomeID can help with all of these tasks, and more!

Of course, it is possible to record important information regarding your home on your phone or computer. However, HomeID allows you to store this important information in one place so that you can access it anytime and anywhere.

The HomeID document management system aims to enhance the quality of everyday life, while providing you with peace of mind. HomeID captures and conveniently organizes all information pertaining to the security and comfortability of your household.

 

Features of Document Management Systems

HomeID’s document management system provide a convenient and well-organized platform that allows the user to store and access files from any internet capable device. The following are a series of benefits and features that a DMS has to offer:

  1. Convenient file organization: Document management systems aim to make organizing both convenient and efficient. As opposed to the limiting file saving structure of your filing cabinet or home computer, DMS’s expand your possibilities and allow you to navigate through files using a more visual and user-friendly format. HomeID has both an illustrative dashboard, as well as individualized menu tabs that separate each essential home management file into sections. Each section is labeled and pictures and descriptions are able to be inputted for convenient navigation.
  1. Mobile optimization: DMS’s are valuable, as they make it so you are not limited when uploading and accessing your files. HomeID allows you to track, organize, and upload important information regarding your home on any internet-capable device. Take pictures of the current condition of your home assets or the sales tag of the new couch you just purchased on your smartphone and upload the information instantly.
  1. Paperless: DMS’s make it easier to sort and search through paperwork due to their digital nature. Not only does this method support the “go green” trend, but it also ensures that your paperwork is in a safe and secure environment in case of a disaster such as a fire or flood. Because HomeID is a secure cloud-based application, it takes security a step further, as your files won’t be present on your computer’s hard drive that could be damaged or stolen. Your files will always be available online via the secure HomeID cloud.
  1. Seamless Reporting: Document management systems encourage the user to continuously track and organize their important files. Because HomeID supports this very system, you are able to seamlessly file insurance claims in times of disasters due to the detailed tracking of all of your home assets. HomeID will also allow you to keep track of all of the items you have donated throughout the year in order to have it ready for tax season.
  1. Secure: DMS’s such as HomeID promise and ensure that all files and paperwork pertaining to your home are not able to be accessed by anyone other than yourself. HomeID has a company-wide commitment to your privacy. Files can never be erased or lost due to the cloud-based interface that HomeID utilizes.
