What it Does

Sikoia's documents solution allows you to upload files or documents containing additional entity data to any company, person or case.

Once uploaded you can retrieve data from bank statements using Sikoia's Banking solution. You can also run additional analysis on certain document types by using Sikoia's Affordability Insights solution.

How it Works

Create a Case: Create a case and optionally add a person or company entity to the case.
Select the entity to which you want to attach the document. Documents can be uploaded to people, companies or cases.
Base64 encode the file: Any files to be uploaded to the platform need to be base64 encoded and sent as a string.
Upload the document: Once it is base64 encoded, you can go ahead and upload the document via the upload document endpoint
