Contract management software integration – The Future of Business

on January 12, 2021

Most modern vendor and contract management software solutions support workflow management. That’s nothing new. However, it’s time to start thinking beyond just data integration. What if we could find a way to implement easily contract management software integration? What if we could contract handle contract easily though different processes and applications? Giving vendors, customers and businesses the data at the point in time they need to actually make a decision by integrating it directly into the workflow.

As the business landscape becomes increasingly digitalized, it’s important to upgrade your technology and modernize your third-party risk management.

Happier customers, simplified contract onboarding

on December 23, 2020

Many companies drastically underestimate the importance of contract onboarding, In fact, 22% of companies have no formal onboarding program at all, while 49% only have a partially successful process. But do you know just how detrimental unsuccessful onboarding can be? Employees become less productive, stressed, and feel disconnected from the rest of the team, while customers end up flocking to your competitors.

One way that simplified contract onboarding helps you is by increasing customer engagement. The process benefits new customers, existing ones, and company leaders alike.

Tales From The Future: an immersive view on the contracts of the future

on December 4, 2020

‘Sign here, here and here’. Signing a contract makes me a bit tense, those are not the contracts of the future I would like to have or sign.

Contracts nowadays don’t serve people as they should. They are unnecessarily hard to write and read. The endless legalese makes them a daunting matter. Their binding power is not bulletproof.

There are 19.972 words in the iTunes terms and conditions. Shakespeare’s Macbeth has 18.100 words. When you click “I agree”, you’re saying to iTunes that you have read something longer than Macbeth.’ In short, today’s contracts do not enable optimal and risk-free decisions.

At Trakti we are crafting contracts of the future to serve people and businesses not the other way around.

What are the benefits of Smart Legal Contracts for companies?

on December 2, 2020

We have reached the next stage in the expression of commercial arrangements. Blockchains are increasingly being used to foster and execute legal agreements, supporting a new generation of electronic Smart Legal Contracts. Blockchain networks and computer programs called “smart contracts” enable parties to memorialise all or parts of legal agreements. By using this technology, contracting parties gain the ability to create arrangements that are hard to modify, dynamic, and potentially less ambiguous than traditional legal contracts.

5 best practices for streamlined contract management

on October 20, 2020

We can probably agree that getting a contract written up and signed should be the easy part of a sale. A formality before the final handshake.
But is it? How familiar are you with a streamlined contract management?

The World Commerce & Contracting estimates that poor contract management costs companies an average of 40.5 hours and 9% of their annual revenue. I bet you can come up with a better use for that time and money!

Mismanaged contract workflows result in administrative bottlenecks in your sales pipeline. The extra time spent by sales, legal and operation teams writing and approving contracts adds up to your client acquisition costs. Even worse, it can kill the momentum of a sale.

Moreover, errors increase risks on liability or compliance. Missed savings opportunities and unwanted contract renewals also impact your bottom line.
