## What is contract automation and how do you automate

Contract automation is the use of software to automate the creation, negotiation, and execution of contracts. It is a tool that has been gaining popularity in recent years, as it can save companies time and money by automating a process that is often manual and error-prone. If you are considering implementing contract automation in your business, this blog post is for you. We will explore what contract automation is, how it works, and the benefits it can provide. We will also give you some tips on how to get started with automating your own contracts.

### What is contract automation?

Contract automation is the process of automating the creation, management, and execution of contracts. This can include everything from automating the drafting of contracts to creating digital signatures and contract approvals.

Contract automation can save businesses time and money by reducing the need for manual contract management. It can also help to improve accuracy and compliance by providing a complete audit trail of all contract activity.

### What are the benefits of contract automation?

There are many benefits of contract automation. One benefit is that it can help you to save time on contract administration. This is because automated contract management systems can help you to automate key tasks such as creating and sending out contracts, managing contract changes, and tracking expirations.

Another benefit of contract automation is that it can improve the accuracy of your contracts. This is because automated systems can help to enforce rules and standards, and can also provide built-in checks for things like spelling and grammar mistakes.

Finally, contract automation can help to improve your organization's compliance with contractual obligations. This is because automated systems can track key dates and deadlines, and can also send out reminders when necessary.

### How do you automate your contracts?

There are a few key ways to automate your contracts:

1.  Use contract management software: this type of software can help you manage, create, and store your contracts in one place. It can also help you automate tasks like sending reminders and tracking deadlines.

2.  Set up automatic payments: if you have recurring payments for things like subscription services or leases, you can set them up to be automatically deducted from your bank account each month. This way, you don't have to remember to make the payment yourself or worry about late fees.

3.  Use e-signatures: rather than printing out and physically signing a contract, you can now sign electronically with just a few clicks. This is not only more convenient, but it's also more secure since your signature cannot be forged.

4.  Automate data collection: if you need to gather information from customers or clients as part of a contract, you can use online forms or surveys to collect this data automatically. This saves you time and ensures that all the information is collected in one place.
