Case Study: Stearns Furniture achieves major time savings and a paperless workflow with SmartVault

“Friendship” between SmartVault and QuickBooks translates to immense time savings for serial entrepreneur

Stearns Furniture is a family-owned discount home furniture and mattress retailer in Sparta, IL (est. 2004, 6 employees) run by partners who also operate three other businesses. They faced a paper-heavy back office: invoices and documents were handwritten or printed and scanned into QuickBooks, with no way to share files electronically across locations, forcing staff to travel between sites to locate records and costing significant time.

They implemented SmartVault with QuickBooks integration, an intuitive cloud document-management system that allowed electronic filing, a customizable folder structure, secure link sharing, 24/7 access, and automatic backups. The integrated solution eliminated office hopping, delivered substantial time savings, improved document organization and support responsiveness, and freed the owners to focus on growing their businesses while they continue to digitize historical records.
