Fluent FAQ
Not all document generation tools are the same, so you’ll want to choose one based on the type and complexity of your documents, the number of data sources, and the frequency of changes needed. For example, if you work in Microsoft Office to create templates and make them accessible to multiple parties, Fluent is a great option.
Fluent reporting and template creation can be applied to virtually any type of document. For example, in the finance industry, invoices, compliance reporting, and bank statements are common. In Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), project proposals, regulatory reports, and contracts are commonly automated.
According to an IBM estimate, bad data costs approximately $3 billion per year in the US alone. This can happen due to manual errors like misplaced decimal points, transposed digits, or failure to record activity in a ledger. Using document generation technology with pre-defined Microsoft templates to automate the process significantly reduces the likelihood of human-caused errors in financial reporting and documents like tax forms. This means less time spent on rework, better data integrity, and a lower chance of fines or penalties.
