In one line

PBC collection is where audit timelines slip: dozens of items, several client contacts, and a manual chase. Alkmist automates the reminders against a structured PBC list, screens files on arrival, escalates the overdue, and stops chasing the received, with a clean trail for the file.

PBC collection that finishes itself

Four capabilities turn a PBC list from a chase into a workflow.

Structured PBC list

One tracked list, reusable

Build the provided-by-client list once as a template, one tracked item per document, and roll it forward each engagement.

  • Reusable PBC templates
  • Owner and due date per item
  • Import from a spreadsheet
Automated reminders

Chasing on autopilot

Reminders go out on a behavioral schedule and overdue items escalate, so associates stop sending the same nudge by hand.

  • Behavioral reminder cadence
  • Overdue items escalate
  • Completed items stop chasing
Secure collection

The right file, safely

Clients upload against each PBC item through controlled, encrypted sharing, with files screened on arrival.

  • Controlled, encrypted uploads
  • File safety screening
  • Item marked done only when received
Trail and residency

Audit-ready by default

Every action is logged immutably and data stays in the EU, ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant.

  • Immutable, timestamped audit trail
  • EU data residency
  • ISO 27001 certified

Spreadsheet and email vs Alkmist

The PBC list is the same; one version chases itself.

PBC by spreadsheet and email

  • List in a spreadsheet, chase in email
  • Reminders depend on someone remembering
  • Status updated by hand, often stale
  • Files arrive as email attachments
  • No trail of who sent what, when

Alkmist PBC software

  • List and collection in one portal
  • Reminders and escalation run automatically
  • Live status per item
  • Controlled, screened uploads
  • Immutable audit trail behind every item
