Using Low Code Automation for Contract Management

End-to-end contract lifecycle management (CLM) systems are often inefficient and imperfect. CLM systems are large, expensive implementations that take significant time and effort to use effectively. They also often include more bells and whistles than you need, which can cause confusion and lead to an increase in costs for nothing in return.

Using Low-Code Automation to Streamline Contracts

What if there's a better way to manage contracts? What if you don't need to procure a kitchen-sink solution that does everything adequately but nothing particularly well?

Enter low-code automation software.

Low-code automation is the next big thing in enterprise software. As the name implies, low-code automation software requires very little coding knowledge to allow anyone to use specific tools even if they don't know how to code. Instead of going through a long process of contacting IT for support, creating a ticket, and waiting for the task to be complete, you can just go in and handle whatever task needs to be done yourself.

Low-Code Automation for Contracts

Contract review automation doesn't need to be complicated. Instead of working with bulky software, pick solutions that work well with your team.

With the rise of low-code automation platforms like Zapier and Power Automate, organizations can streamline contract processes using best-in-class tools that are consumer-grade and easy to use. DocJuris integrates with low-code automation platforms to facilitate the contract negotiation process.

For example, here's how your workflow might look using DocJuris if you're on Office 365:

Create a request on Microsoft Forms
Route to SharePoint
Ping notification to Teams
Create a contract for negotiation in DocJuris
Update an item in Dynamics

Here's how your workflow may look if you use a number of other tools that are Zapier friendly:

Create a request on Typeform
Route that request to AirTable
Negotiate the contract in DocJuris and route attachments
Create an e-signature request
Ping Slack
Update Salesforce
