Software Solutions, Inc. Acquires EDGE Document Solutions

Today, Software Solutions, Inc. (SSI) is announcing the acquisition of EDGE Document Solutions—a proven electronic document generation platform that helps organizations create, deliver, and archive critical documents as digital files or printed on blank stock. EDGE is now part of the SSI product family as VIP Edge Checks. 

The expanded client base spans a wide range of industries, including public sector, education, legal, accounting, utilities, banking, manufacturing, and nonprofit organizations. It includes customers in 42 states and several Canadian provinces.

“Public sector organizations are balancing modernization with operational realities; some processes are ready to go fully digital, while others still require print for workflow, compliance, or constituent needs,” said Rick Fortman, CEO of Software Solutions, Inc. “By bringing EDGE into the SSI family, we’re expanding the ways our customers can securely generate, deliver, and retain critical payroll and payables documents without being boxed into a single delivery model.” 

VIP Edge Checks enables organizations to eliminate the need for preprinted forms by producing documents electronically from raw system data and delivering them as either digital images or printed output on blank stock. The platform supports a wide range of document types produced in moderate to high volume—including purchase orders, invoices, checks, statements, and reports—and includes digital and web-based options for storing and managing documents electronically.

VIP Edge Checks allows customers to:

• Generate documents electronically from existing source systems

• Deliver documents digitally (including image-based formats) and archive for retention needs

• Print on blank stock to reduce dependency on preprinted forms

• Support hybrid environments where print and digital workflows coexist

Here are the main VIP Edge Checks features:

• Electronic document generation from raw system data

• Digital delivery (PDF/digital images) and secure archiving

• Blank stock printing for checks, invoices, statements, and more

• Configurable templates and custom document formats

• Integration support to reduce duplicate entries and streamline workflows

• Optional print-and-mail services for organizations that want to outsource fulfillment

And in order to keep supporting EDGE customers' printing needs, we've partnered with Safeguard for:

• Printing MICR encoded checks directly from blank stock.

• Printing clear direct deposit advice for your employees.

• Generating business documents on standard blank paper stock.

• Producing high-quality invoices, statements, and official notices.

• Expertly managing the printing and mailing of documents.

As VIP Edge Checks joins the SSI product family, it strengthens a capability that matters deeply to public agencies and utilities: the ability to modernize without disrupting critical operations.

Whether your finance and payroll teams are ready to move fully digital or still need to support high-volume print, VIP Edge Checks gives you options. You can generate checks, purchase orders, invoices, and statements directly from your core systems, deliver them as secure digital files, print on blank stock to reduce fraud risk and preprinted inventory, and rely on Safeguard as a trusted partner for specialized print-and-mail services.

For SSI clients, that means tighter alignment between VIP Accounting, VIP Payroll & HR, VIP Utility Billing, and the way you create and deliver outbound documents. For EDGE clients, it means continued support with the added benefit of an integrated, public-sector-focused ERP suite behind it.

Most importantly, this acquisition reflects a shared commitment: helping public agencies modernize at their own pace—maintaining compliance, controlling costs, and protecting their communities from risk while steadily moving toward a more digital, efficient future.

If your organization is evaluating ways to reduce dependence on preprinted checks, improve document security, or streamline how financial documents are produced and delivered, our team is ready to walk through how VIP Edge Checks can fit into your existing VIP environment.
