Today, I'm excited to share an important milestone in Paperless Environments' journey:

Paperless Environments has been acquired by Sage.

This is a proud moment for our team and one we've approached with great care and consideration. For years, our mission has been simple: help construction businesses eliminate manual processes, connect teams and information, and make it easier to get work done.

We've built Paperless around solving the everyday challenges that construction companies face, from managing documents and approvals to maintaining compliance and keeping payments moving.

As we've grown, we've continually asked ourselves: how can we have an even greater impact for our customers?

We believe joining Sage is the answer.

Many of you already know Sage as a trusted technology provider to the construction industry. In fact, Paperless and Sage have worked together successfully for over two decades. Throughout that partnership, we have shared a common belief that construction businesses deserve technology that is connected, intuitive and designed around the realities of how the industry operates.

By becoming part of Sage, we now have the opportunity to accelerate that vision.

Together, we can do more to connect financial and operational work across construction businesses, helping customers reduce complexity, improve visibility across projects, automate manual processes and create more efficient workflows from the office to the jobsite. We see tremendous potential to bring together Paperless' capabilities in document management, workflow automation, compliance and payment readiness with Sage's leading financial and construction solutions to create an even more connected experience for our customers.

Just as importantly, joining Sage gives us greater scale, deeper resources and increased investment to accelerate innovation. It strengthens our ability to develop new capabilities, respond to evolving customer needs and continue solving the challenges that matter most to construction businesses.

What excites me most is that our shared vision has always been bigger than software. It's about helping construction companies operate with greater confidence, empowering teams to focus less on administrative tasks and more on delivering successful projects. Becoming part of Sage gives us an incredible opportunity to advance that vision faster than ever before.

While we're excited about the future, I also want to reassure you that our commitment to you remains unchanged. It's business as usual. You will continue working with the same Paperless team, receiving the same support and service you know and trust. There are no immediate changes to your products, contracts or support arrangements, and our focus remains firmly on helping you succeed every day.

We're incredibly grateful for the trust you've placed in Paperless over the years. Your partnership has helped shape the business we've built, and we're excited to continue that journey as part of Sage.

Thank you for being part of this next chapter with us.

Warm regards,

Seth Dawson
President & CEO, Paperless Environments
Now part of Sage

The industry is short on people, not projects. Deloitte projects construction will need roughly 499,000 new workers in 2026, with 41% of today's workforce retiring by 2031. At the same time, a recent Quickbase industry report found 83% of construction professionals now trust AI to boost productivity, and manual data entry alone costs companies an average of $28,500 per employee, per year.

The takeaway? Automation isn't optional anymore; it's how the industry is closing its labor and cost gaps. If you're running pVault®, you're already ahead of the curve.

pVault® has quietly been doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes, from documents you can retrieve right at your fingertips to approvals that don't get lost in the shuffle. Our AI-powered OCR captures your data automatically, APFlow ™ keeps invoices moving, and ClearToPay™ watches your subcontractors' insurance and lien waivers, so you don't have to. There's a good chance you're only using a fraction of what's really in there.
