The ai-driven
Contract Lifecycle Management
for real estate & construction

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 real estate contract lifecycle management and more.

BENEFITS

Time is money. Especially in the real estate industry, this principle is decisive. Legal processes lag behind the digitalisation of other business areas and are thus far too often the bottleneck in your property lifecycle. This is exactly where PACTA comes in.

1

One central project room for real estate management

From project development and financing to construction and leasing to sale, on average more than 30 different people have at least one point of contact with the life cycle of your real estate contracts. Those 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 real estate cycle on a single platform and have them controlled by the respective experts. PACTA maps the right workflows for each internal and external stakeholder.

Virtual assistance for contract review and monitoring

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

PACTA brings your documents to life. Our artificial intelligence "Themis" supports you in reviewing documents and analyses all relevant contract data and deadlines for you. Monitor construction stages, performance certificates, lease structures and invoices with the help of "Themis" and let it remind you of terms and notice periods.

This way you reduce your review workload and create legal audit reports, expert opinions as well as decision documents on average 31% faster than before.

3

Scalable legal hub on demand

Real estate contracts are currently concluded within 98 days on average. However, the time required to coordinate individual parameters with the contractual partner is often only a few hours. The real bottleneck in the system is trivial administrative tasks and inefficient document processing.

With PACTA, your legal experts provide 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 project step within minutes or have it checked for compliance with your internal specifications. In addition, you can initiate the closing process legally secure, independently and without detours.

4

Halve your coordination and negotiation time

You coordinate with your colleagues and subcontractors, tenants or buyers by means of endless e-mail chains and hundreds of comments, and edit Word documents in mark-up mode and in circulation.

With PACTA you negotiate and edit offers, contracts and delivery conditions together with all parties in real time. In this way, you halve both the number of your negotiation steps and your absolute negotiation time.

5

Legal certainty with maximum agility

In order to shorten the legal sub-processes, your employees may individualise your contracts themselves without legal experts. This often results in legal errors or ambiguous clauses.

With PACTA, your legal experts control all contract processes without being overloaded with simple recurring tasks. If legal laypersons want to go beyond the set legal framework, they 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 contractual relationships.

6

Sustainability and cost savings with digital signing

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

With the PACTA signature, you sign your documents within seconds instead of waiting an average of two weeks for a contract to be returned.

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

Legal changes, as in the case of case law on cosmetic repairs or amendments to laws on private and public building law, have to be collected manually, 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.

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

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.
