The ai-driven
Contract Lifecycle Management
for sales teams

Scale even faster, more efficiently and more sustainably. With PACTA and our artificial intelligence "Themis", you automate your legal sales processes in an intelligent no-code workflow management and access the contracts and content of your legal department on demand in a central legal hub for data-driven contract lifecycle management and more.

BENEFITS

Time is money. This principle is particularly important in sales. Legal processes lag behind the digitalisation of other business areas and are thus far too often the bottleneck in your deal pipeline. This is exactly where PACTA comes in.

1

A central legal platform for deal closing processes

On average, more than ten different people have at least one point of contact with the life cycle of your offers and 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 sales cycle on a single platform and have them controlled by your legal department or other 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 contract data, 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 subscriptions, fees as well as contract values with the help of "Themis" and let it remind you of terms, cancellation periods and subscription cycles.

This way you reduce your review workload, create sales audit reports on average 31% faster than before and reduce your churn rate. PACTA increases automatically renewed customer contracts by an average of 16%.

3

Scalable legal hub on demand

B2B customer contracts are currently concluded within 119 days on average. However, the time required to coordinate 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 deal 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

Halving your negotiation time until closed won

You coordinate with your colleagues or clients via endless email chains and hundreds of comments and edit Word documents in markup mode and in circulation.

With PACTA you negotiate and edit contracts together with all parties in real time. In this way, you halve both the number of your negotiation steps and your absolute negotiation time from opportunity to deal closed won.

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 deals

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 text modules

You have to manually collect, organise and enter all your clauses and text modules for different variants of offers and customer contracts into a multitude of individual documents.

With PACTA, you and your legal department can keep track of all your clauses and text modules 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

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.
