Keeping track of contracts can be a nightmare for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Lost documents, missed deadlines, and forgotten obligations cost time and money. While contractSAVE isn’t a full-fledged contract lifecycle management (CLM) solution yet, it offers a powerful alternative for SMB contract organization and awareness – especially compared to Microsoft SharePoint.
The SharePoint Conundrum:
SharePoint excels at document storage and sharing, but for contracts, it lacks crucial functionalities. Features like creating new contracts, managing approvals, and setting up automated workflows are missing. Additionally, customizing SharePoint for complex contract management can be expensive and time-consuming.
