SimpleForms is a pain killer for the time consuming and tedious process of employee documentation. We enable businesses to build their perfect employee, vendor, or client on-boarding tool by utilizing not only our form database, but our custom form creator, and endless integration opportunities.

After living the problem while working with Summit Series on Summit Outside, our Founder Emily Rotolo set out to solve the numerous problems around hiring; hiring outside a traditional work environment, confusion from both sides of the table, how employment forms need to be stored or filed, risks of audits, fines and penalties.

On top of all the pain caused to employers Emily thought it was completely unfair that individuals are not allowed to ask HR or their managers for help to fill out the W-4 Form and there was a massive hole for employees that have multiple jobs or freelance on the side. Which is why we started with the only three redundant forms across industries at the core of SimpleForms, the W-4, I-9 and W-9. As our two products work in sync of each other we have an achievable way to work with the 55 million Americans that are working as freelancers and millions of small businesses across the country.

Where other onboarding softwares can be clunky or hard to figure out, SimpleForms’ custom designed platform looks and works great on desktop, tablet, and smart phone.

With a walkthrough to help new managers and new hires, SimpleForms answers your questions right in the app.

Tax Form Selection Walkthrough

Not sure which form your employee needs to fill out? SimpleForms collects basic employee information and lets you know which forms are required.

You can set any of the forms as required, optional, or disable them entirely to keep the employee’s form filling process as easy as possible.

Auto-Populate New Hire Forms

With a quick form and everything online, new form creation is a breeze. SimpleForms auto-populates your company information into the form so you don’t need to rewrite it for every new hire.

Do you have custom forms like NDAs that need a signature? Or company handbooks that need a confirmation that they have been read? These are easily added in our custom forms section and are sent to new hires along with their tax forms.

Automatic Onboarding Steps With Notifications

Managers and/or Human Resources receive notifications when forms are completed or if there is a missing item. The forms can then be authorized electronically, and are stored safe and secure.

Online forms make it easy to keep track of your employee’s progress and send notifications if there is a missing signature.

Go Paperless & Digital Signatures

Streamline your I-9, W-4, W-9, and signature processes with auto-populated paperless forms and secure cloud storage. SimpleForms makes completing the onboarding checklist fast and convenient, with easy access from every device.

With individual employee and manager accounts and secure logins, your company can count on SimpleForms’ high level of security.

We built SimpleForms to span industries. However, we are taking a very focused approach into franchised businesses. There are 750,000 District locations and growing. Once imbedded with a franchise as they grow our SimpleForms platform is proving to grow with them. 60% in the first 6 months with our initial beta user Jersey Mike’s Franchise, who is estimating doubling total number of locations in the next 4 years to over 4,000 locations. This contract alone would be worth over 1.75M a year.

We chose 4 industries with the largest turnover rates and short or seasonal positions and have been finding success in each, as each employee uses our platform and adds in their second job or freelancing gig it opens SimpleForms up to a new enterprise contract. We also enable the individual to create and use their own account, by enabling features that otherwise an individual would have to pay for and allowing the autonomous use of our product not only differentiates us from our competitors but allows individuals to take advantage of our completion, signage, and sending of documents across jobs, creating a viral growth coefficient and enabling us to become the standard in document completion. As we grow towards a gig economy the timing of our second product and use of funds for this round could not be any better. Freelancers have taken 34% of the workforce or 55M Americans. We will enable all of them a standard in W-9 management like no other platform.

The 4 industries we are focusing in: Food/Beverage and Hospitality, Retail, Construction and Recreation and Entertainment. Giving us an overall TAM of 2.6M establishments according to BLS in just these 4 industries alone.

A Business Model Designed for Organic Growth

We are live in 10 states with 200 locations using SimpleForms. We are still in our paid Beta as we have yet to produce all the features we feel is required to be in our V1. However, In the first 6 months of usage Jersey Mike’s has expanded their corporate contract by 60%. One of our other franchises also added an additional location within the first 6 months of being on SimpleForms portal. We’ve had a growing wait list for our individual users doing no marketing.

The marketing we have done, {content marketing and email marketing as well as some PPC ads and Facebook retargeting ads.} is working. We have franchised specific businesses and businesses that span industries reaching out to us daily.

We are very excited to launch with our first events customer who hires independent contractors for all the major festivals, Coachella, StageCoach to name a few. The key growth factor will be enabling those individuals to take it with them to the next festival they freelance for http://www.findthespots.com/events/

As we grow, and what we learned was really focused within our KPIs. Rather than number of employees added we are focused on forms completed. Which opens up a whole new avenue for us to learn and run tests on. Some of the new technology we are building currently will run analytics and define our sweet spot. How many forms needed to be added in the first 48 hrs to know this will be a successful customer. How quickly are the forms being turned around, minutes, days is also a key factor we are focused on. Our goal is to have documents turned completed and stored within minutes.

In Feb. we are releasing our Independent Contractor/Vendor Portal which works in tangent with our enterprise portal.

The exciting piece for 2018 however will be the beginning of our OCR Technology. We will be able to take a picture of any document, analyze its content and autofill as if it was already an online form. From there we will be able to send it to your employee or employer for it’s next stage.
