Watermarked, view-only documents under your firm's name

A watermark that names the reader

Each PDF page shows the guest's name, email, party and the time (UTC). The watermark is added when the guest opens or downloads the document, so two buyers never get the same copy.

Excel and Word without a download

Financial models and contracts are often shared as Excel or Word files. In Stowbill a guest can read Excel (.xlsx), Word (.docx) and CSV files in the browser under a watermark. Only the content is sent to the page. The file itself does not reach the guest's computer, so there is nothing to save.

PowerPoint files and older .xls and .doc files need a PDF copy. Upload them as PDF for now.

You decide who can download

Downloads are off by default. You can allow them for a whole room or for one party, for example the preferred bidder's lawyers. Downloaded PDFs carry the watermark too.

Your logo and colour

A partner can upload the firm's logo and choose a colour. Guests then see your firm's name and look in the data room, not ours.

What a watermark cannot do

No viewer can stop a person from taking a photo of the screen. The watermark makes sure that any photo shows who took it. The activity report shows which guest opened which document and when.
