Contract drafting automation is a common application of document automation software. By using a contract drafting automation process, business and legal users are able to generate documents by filling out dynamic, web-based forms—also called questionnaires—created automatically from your templates. Having completed the questionnaires, a user can directly generate a transaction-ready contract, as well as all collateral documents (both Word documents and PDF forms).
Contract drafting automation is a seamless process, but that is just one of its many features.
Everything in One Place
Dashboards provide users with an effortless way to track all of their work in progress. Users can generate new contracts, monitor the status of pending approvals, or download their approved/pre-approved contracts for signature.
Creating Contracts Has Never Been Easier
Contract drafting automation presents users with an intuitive self-service questionnaire. By dynamically walking users through the logic behind each question, accurate responses are ensured.
Automatic Alerts
Users are automatically alerted when approval is required as a result of their input. And approvals aren’t restricted to only one team—sequential workflows permit multiple teams to have approval rights.
Getting the Green Light
Once a contract has been approved, the business user that requested the contract is notified via email. The user can then download the protected PDF version from their dashboard and send it off for signature.
