US-based Tech leader cuts contract turnaround times with pre-approved templates for sales

Challenge:
The existing contract processes using Word and Excel were manual, inefficient, error-prone and slow. Contract reviews by external counsel delayed closing deals and created repeat reviews of legal content that was already available in previously negotiated contracts.

Solution:
Shareforce implemented a centralised clause and template management platform, creating a single source of truth. Legal controls all templates and clauses with version tracking, sales uses pre-approved, automated templates to generate contracts themselves.

Results:

  • Harmonised, automated pre-approved service contracts
  • Self-service for sales reducing contract cycle times and free up legal time
  • Substantial reduction in external legal counsel costs.
