After building your agenda, you have to build it again in Diligent as your book structure. That's double-handling that's costing you 30+ minutes per meeting. #### Take yourself off **repeat.** TOMORROW ## Streamline & Save Time Eliminate duplication and get your time back using boardcycle's Diligent Bookbuilder. Once you've built your meeting in boardcycle, simply generate the Diligent Bookbuilder file for that meeting and upload it into Diligent - then sit back and watch your book structure build itself automatically before your eyes. #### Go from \>30 mins to **\<30 secs** ## See it in action Ever seen 30 minutes work get done in 47 seconds? Watch our Diligent Bookbuilder work its magic.     ### Ready to build board books better? Get in touch for a personalised demo.
