The ai-driven
Contract Lifecycle Management
for in-house legal teams

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 contract lifecycle management and more.

BENEFITS

Time is money. Especially in the often hopelessly overloaded legal departments, this principle is essential. Legal processes lag behind the digitalisation of other business areas and are thus far too often the bottleneck in the system. This is exactly where PACTA comes in.

1

A central legal platform for experts and users

Normally, many different people have at least one point of contact with the life cycle of legal documents. Those involved usually communicate independently of each other by email or even in written correspondence. Individual processes thus have to be forwarded, related, discussed and released many times.

PACTA allows you to control all legal processes on a single platform and have them realised by the specialist departments. PACTA maps the right workflows for each internal and external stakeholder:

2

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 the timeliness, accuracy and plausibility of your contract content with the help of "Themis" and let it remind you of terms, notice periods and contract cycles.

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

3

Scalable legal hub on demand

Customer contracts and vendor contracts are currently concluded within 97 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, you provide your colleagues and other departments with a legal hub of legally secure forms and contract review workflows with your legal content. The other departments can then access these workflows permanently on demand and initiate the closing process legally secure, independently and without detours.

4

Legal security with maximum agility

In order to shorten the closing process, your colleagues in the specialist departments often individualise their contracts themselves without legal advice. This often results in legal errors or ambiguous clauses.

With PACTA, your legal department controls the entire contract process without being overloaded with simple recurring tasks. They can concentrate on individual special cases through release loops.

In this way, you create more legal certainty, eliminate on average 75% of the sources of error in legal documents and at the same time ensure maximum agility in your contractual relationships.

5

Halve your coordination and negotiation time

You coordinate with your colleagues and external contracting parties by means of endless e-mail chains and hundreds of comments, and edit Word documents in mark-up mode and by circulation.

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

6

Digitization of your paper contracts

We understand that not all companies work with digital documents yet. The step to digitization is not always easy and often requires good change management.

We have approached this problem and came up with a solution 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 digitization reaches you sooner and easier than you expected.

7

Compliance & streamlining of all clauses and legal texts

Changes in the law, case law and supervisory regulations have to be collected manually, evaluated, assigned to different clauses and entered into a multitude of individual documents.

With PACTA, you keep track of all your contract 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

Sustainability and customer satisfaction

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

With PACTA Signature, you can have your documents signed within seconds instead of waiting an average of two weeks for a contract to be returned. This increases your customers' and colleagues' satisfaction with your company's legal processes by an average of 80%.

Protect the environment and save costs. For example, a medium-sized company would save an average of almost 300,000 pages of paper, 4.3 tons of wood and 1.5 tons of CO2 per year.

9

Digitisation of your paper contracts

We understand that not all companies work with digital documents yet. The step towards digitisation 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. So digitisation reaches you sooner and easier than you could 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.
