The services offered by Trakti are:

  1. Creation / importing and modelling of contract and review templates: import your contract templates from .doc files and model them in Trakti to add input fields, calculations, signatures, external data sources like Know Your Customer /Anti Money Laundering fields to generate your templates to be submitted and approved by your legal team and to be used by all team members in self service mode;
  2. Creation of Internal Work groups: create project or business function work groups within the organization in which the members of the  team can exchange messages, files and links and, where necessary, associate their negotiations thus making them visible to all work group team members;
  3. Creation of Deals: select bilateral or multilateral negotiation processes by choosing from the wide range of interaction procedures offered by the platform (RFX, Auctions, Tenders, Seal bid tenders, Onboarding and many others processes), associate your custom templates and configure the privacy level, select the headed paper, activate the payment gateways and configure all the parameters and signatures based on your specific needs;
  4. Authorization of Deals and Offers: ask permission or give authorization to a deal before the negotiation is published and external people are directly invited to participate and to submit an offer. The deal can also be advertised on the company page on Trakti and/or on the corporate site and via third parties services (such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn). Ask authorization and/or approve an offer before it is sent to the counterparty;
  5. Deal and Contract negotiation: possibility to view and compare offers during all phases of negotiation and to make counter-proposals before proceeding with the choice of the winner or requests for revision;

Ask colleagues, reviewers, legal, their feedback, customised ratings and offer reviews and use that information to rank offers and request changes to the participants. Our rating system let you receive feedback and attachments from your colleagues and create a comparison table that let you easily select the best offer among the one received. Once identified the best offer and request authorization to proceed the parties can finalize the agreement and the responsible person can proceed with the signing and finalization of the agreement/contract.
