The ai-driven
Contract Lifecycle Management
for banks & financial services

Scale even faster, more efficiently and more sustainably. With PACTA and our artificial intelligence "Themis", you automate all your documents and processes in an intelligent no-code workflow on a central legal platform for data-driven credit & contract management and more.

BENEFITS

Time is money. Especially in banking, this principle is decisive. However, legal processes lag behind the digitisation of other business areas and are thus far too often the bottleneck of your financial services. This is exactly where PACTA comes in.

1

One central platform for legal processes

On average, more than ten different people have at least one point of contact with the life cycle of your commercial loan and financing contracts. The people involved usually communicate independently of each other by e-mail or even in written correspondence. Individual processes thus have to be forwarded, related, discussed and approved many times over.

PACTA enables you to realise all legal processes of your financing on a single platform and have them managed by legal experts. PACTA maps the right workflows for each internal and external stakeholder:

Virtual assistance for contract review & monitoring

Manually searching through legal documents and finding metadata, risks and deadlines is tedious and time-consuming.

PACTA brings your contracts to life. Our artificial intelligence "Themis" supports you in reviewing documents and analyses all relevant contract data and deadlines for you. Monitor financing frameworks, instalment payments, interest and redemption schedules with the help of Themis and let her remind you of terms, annuities and notice periods.

This way, you reduce your audit workload and create audit reports and decision documents on average 31% faster than before while minimising your risks.

3

Scalable legal hub on demand

Commercial loan and financing agreements are currently concluded within 19 days on average. However, the time required for the award decision and coordination of individual parameters with the customer is often only a few hours. The real bottleneck in the system is trivial administrative tasks and inefficient document processing.

With PACTA, your colleagues in the legal department provide you with a legal hub of legally compliant forms and contract review workflows on demand. By answering an easy-to-understand questionnaire, you can create a contract perfectly formatted in your corporate design for your next financing within minutes or have it checked for compliance with your internal guidelines. You can also initiate the closing process in a legally secure, independent and straightforward manner.

4

Halve your coordination and negotiation time

You coordinate with your colleagues and clients through endless email chains and hundreds of comments, and edit Word documents in mark-up mode and circulation.

With PACTA, you edit your documents together with all parties in real time. This halves both the number of process steps and the absolute negotiation time.

5

Legal certainty with maximum agility

In order to shorten the closing process, you may individualise your contracts yourself and without legal experts. This often results in legal errors or ambiguous clauses.

With PACTA, your legal department manages the entire contract process without being overloaded with simple recurring tasks. If you want to exceed the set legal framework, you trigger a release loop with a mouse click so that your legal department or management can deal with these special cases.

In this way, you eliminate an average of 75% of the sources of error in legal documents and at the same time ensure maximum agility in your customer relationships.

6

Sustainability and customer satisfaction with digital signing

Concluding contracts by manually signing, sending and returning paper documents is not only time-consuming but also resource-intensive.

With PACTA Signature, you sign your documents within seconds instead of waiting an average of two weeks for a contract to be returned. This way you offer your customers an experience that meets modern expectations and increase customer satisfaction by an average of 80%.

Protect the environment and save costs. For example, a mid-sized company would save an average of nearly 300,000 pages of paper, 4.3 tons of wood, and 1.5 tons of CO2 per year.

7

Compliance & streamlining of all clauses and legal texts

You have to manually organise and compare all your clauses and text modules for different variants of financing structures, conditions and investment products. In addition, regulatory changes such as amendments to financial market legislation or supervisory decisions have to be collected, evaluated, assigned to different clauses and entered into a multitude of individual documents.

With PACTA, your legal experts keep track of all your clauses and legal texts at all times. Themis analyses your documents, recognises, extracts, categorises and names all your clauses so that you can compare, version and update them in one central place. PACTA then automatically optimises all forms with the desired changes for you (streamlining).

8

Digitisation of your paper contracts

We understand that not all companies work with digital documents yet. The step to digitalisation is not always easy and often requires good change management.

We have also thought about this problem and make this step as easy as possible for you. PACTA comes with automated text recognition (OCR) software that automatically turns simple scans into readable PDF documents. This way, digitisation reaches you sooner and easier than you expect.

FAQ

What exactly is meant by document automation?

Michael Czapla

Senior Sales Professional

With PACTA, you can automate more than just the creation of contracts. Rather, with PACTA you can automate all your legal operations holistically. From upload to draft, approval, signature, data extraction and deadline management - with PACTA you automate the entire lifecycle of legal documents.

How does document analysis work?

Arthur Gogohia

Data Scientist

For our automated extraction of relevant information from documents, we rely on state-of-the-art deep learning architectures. In the first step, a specially trained neural network recognizes important parts within a document. In the second step, our algorithms process this information into insightful findings. In the third step, the data is sorted and clearly presented on the platform.

How does automatic text recognition work for documents?

Jeffry Cacho

Data Scientist

We achieve automated extraction of text from scans in two steps. First we use image processing algorithms to optimize the quality of the scans. Our customized deep learning model then detects existing text in the image with pixel precision and converts it into digital text. This makes scans searchable and eliminates the need to manually type out the text.
