Nestor vs. email: when attachments are no longer enough.
Email is everywhere, and that is its strength. But when you need documents from dozens of people, need to know what is missing, and need a record of who saw what, it becomes a job in itself.

03In practice
Moving from email to Nestor
- Step 01
Keep email for notifications
The people you work with still receive an email: it takes them to their space instead of carrying the documents.
- Step 02
Start with a typical file
A process that comes up often, with its usual documents, becomes a request template.
- Step 03
Expand to campaigns
When the same request goes to many people, a campaign replaces sending them one by one.
What they say
What they say
“We're glad to have Nestor because it also shows how seriously we run our processes. (...) Collecting 70 or 80 confidential company documents by email would not be serious.”
