OFFICETOOLS VS CANOPY

Canopy is a bona fide end-to-end solution.

End-to-end? That means (deep breath) client management, client portal, team communication, document management, document storage, eSignatures, project management, workflow automation, reports, invoicing, payment processing, and time tracking (exhale).

Your firm will be delighted with how much they can get done in one place. And your clients will be raving about how easy it is to work with you. Truly. We mean it (no ruses or masquerades here).

“We switched from OfficeTools to Canopy over 2 years ago. The implementation and data transfer was almost seamless. The mobile app and client portal have been invaluable to our client base. We were implementing Canopy before COVID so when the shut downs hit we were already ahead of the game for being digital for everything with a portal and app that worked and was easy for our client base to use.”
