Client document collection is the workflow of asking clients for required files, receiving them securely, tracking what is missing, reviewing each upload and keeping the evidence attached to the client record.
When this matters
This matters when client work cannot move forward until specific documents are complete and reviewed. The practical issue is not only whether a client can send a file or open a portal. The issue is whether the team can see the request, status, owner, permission, review decision and evidence in one place.

How HubSecure fits
HubSecure fits when regulated client work needs a connected workspace for records, secure requests, files, messages, permissions, tasks, approvals and audit history. It is strongest when teams want fewer manual handoffs and cleaner evidence without making the client experience heavy.
The first workflow to review is usually the one with the most chasing, the most sensitive files, or the weakest proof of who did what. Start there, measure completion time and reminders, then expand to adjacent client workflows.
