Every farmer and rancher has critical documents about their operation. Too often these documents are spread across their own desktop, tablet, and cell phone, siloed away. Their farms are frequently small homesteads.

Farmers stive to manage a successful business by working hard on the farm, and usually off the farm in order to support it. Once every year or perhaps every two years, a critical event occurs that generates important income for their operation. A buyer and seller come together to enact a transaction.

Wouldn't it be nice if that transaction were to occur simply, smoothly, and efficiently to the benefit of both the buyer and seller? Now it can. This is the fundamental function of the Documents Vault.

How does it work? The farmer creates a folder on his newborn calf. Registration papers and certificates are upload to this folder. Calf photos of birth, nursing on its mom, taking its first run across the pasture, head butting its sire to establish dominance are all uploaded. Genetic tests are performed, and the results get uploaded to the calf's folder. The sire has his folder. The dam has her folder. The vet is called, and their work gets uploaded. The buyer calls and has their questions. The sale occurs, the brand inspector provides their paperwork, the Bill of Sale is created, and all this is uploaded.

Now the magic of the Documents Vault occurs. The seller asks the buyer to register with IrishDexterCattlemen.com. Then the seller selects the calf's folder and shares it to the buyer with read and write permissions. The sire's folder and dam's folder is shared to the buyer with read only permissions. The Documents Vault has created such an unprecedented level of trust with the buyer that they will become the seller's repeat customer and best word-of-mouth advertiser. This is the Irish Dexter Cattlemen Documents Vault and why it is so important.

Sure, this can be done on your own desktop, or tablet, or phone. What's so special about the Documents Vault is that folders and documents can be all shared with your buyer in such a way that you retain all your documents on the sire, on the dam, and even on the sold calf. Plus, you will see what the buyer adds to the calf's shared folder. The buyer will see all the new documents you add to the sire and dam folders without the buyer being able to change them. This method of sharing makes all the difference and is unique in the word of agriculture.

The Documents Vaut is designed to be a sharing platform. You can create your own group's private folders. Then upload your Word, pdf, Excel spreadsheet, PowerPoint presentation, photos, or text documents to each folder you create. Once completed, this is where sharing becomes so important and valuable. Each folder, or even each document within each folder can be shared with anyone or everyone, in your group. Board members can have their private folders. Officers can have separate folders. Team members can store their team documents in the team's folders. Finally, certain folders and files can be shared with the entire group. If you have historical files that need to be shared, some kept private and many to be shared with your group, this is the perfect solution for you.
