Co-founder Testimonial Donut, Founderoo + Kaddim. Design at Lumiant.

Kaddim handles document collection for Australian mortgage brokers. The part of the job that takes hours but earns you nothing. Request documents, send automated reminders, review everything in one place, and auto-rename files to your naming convention.

"The ability to rename files to our own naming convention is a massive time saver. For this feature alone I will continue to use this service." – Peter Tersteeg, Sage Leading Solutions

"I won't ever go back to sending manual checklists!" – Deanna Ezzy, More Than Mortgages

I'm not here for a hard sell. If document admin is eating your time, let's connect. Always happy to talk about how to get those hours back.
