Clustdoc is a cloud-based client onboarding software that helps front-office teams manage document-based processes and repeated client requests in one place. Teams use the platform to speed up applications and submissions from clients, tenants, suppliers, and other contacts. It fits any industry that needs a structured, professional way to onboard new relationships.

Customer onboarding infrastructure is the system layer that runs your entire onboarding operation, covering document collection, forms, signatures, approvals, and client communication in one platform. Clustdoc provides that infrastructure so front-office teams stop juggling separate tools every time a new client, vendor, or applicant comes in.

Yes, Clustdoc can onboard any type of contact, not only customers. Teams use it during client intake to onboard partners, borrowers, investors, students, landlords, tenants, and businesses. If a contact needs to complete routine tasks during the intake phase, you can run that process through Clustdoc.

Getting started with Clustdoc is quick because new users receive self-serve resources that walk them through account setup. If you would rather save time, our team can set up your processes on your behalf.

Clustdoc is a secure and reliable platform for collecting documents and sensitive information from your customers. Admins get full visibility into which documents each team member requested, when collection started and ended, and who did what at every stage of the customer onboarding process. Multiple safeguards protect the data shared between you and your clients, and Clustdoc complies with the GDPR, one of the strictest data protection standards in the world.

Clustdoc supports any industry that onboards clients, vendors, or employees through document-based processes. Dedicated solutions cover accounting client onboarding, loan documentation, KYC onboarding, vendor onboarding, and employee onboarding, and teams in other sectors build their own processes from templates.

Enforcing compliance standards

Your data is stored in data centers located in your region, so data from US customers stays in the United States. These centers control physical access at the perimeter and entry points with professional security staff, video surveillance, and intrusion detection systems. Authorized personnel must pass two-factor authentication at least twice to reach the data center floors.

Clustdoc protects your business with built-in privacy management features. These include user consent capture, links to your privacy policy, a data privacy control dashboard, and automated data deletion, so you can run onboarding with total peace of mind.

Yes, Clustdoc is GDPR compliant. As a French company, Clustdoc follows the French Personal Data Protection Act based on EU regulation (UE) 2016/679, which sets one of the highest data protection standards in the world.

Clustdoc is not bound by HIPAA because it is a French company governed by EU privacy law rather than US regulations. Our privacy and security practices comply with the French Personal Data Protection Act, based on EU regulation (UE) 2016/679, which imposes stricter rules than US requirements. Your data is therefore held to one of the highest protection standards available.

Yes, Clustdoc has obtained a SOC 2 Type II report. This attestation confirms robust processes and systems designed to prevent security breaches and address potential threats. Visit our Security Center to learn more.
