When Acme Corp approached us in early 2025, their contract process was a bottleneck. Sales deals were stalling, vendor agreements took weeks, and their legal team was drowning in manual work. Here's how they turned it around.

The Challenge

Acme Corp, a mid-size manufacturing company with 500 employees, was processing around 200 contracts per month. Their existing workflow involved:

  • Emailing Word documents back and forth
  • Printing, signing, and scanning agreements
  • Manual tracking in spreadsheets
  • No visibility into where documents were stuck
  • Average turnaround time: 12 days. For time-sensitive deals, this was costing them business.

    The Solution

    Acme implemented Siglot.ai across three departments: Sales, Procurement, and HR. The rollout happened in phases over 6 weeks.

    Phase 1: Sales Contracts

    The sales team started with their standard MSA and SOW templates. Within the first week, they created reusable templates with pre-placed signature fields and conditional logic for different deal sizes.

    Phase 2: Vendor Agreements

    Procurement moved their NDA, vendor onboarding, and purchase order processes to Siglot.ai. The bulk send feature let them onboard 50 new vendors in a single afternoon.

    Phase 3: HR Documents

    HR digitized offer letters, onboarding paperwork, and policy acknowledgments. New hires now complete all paperwork before their first day.

    The Results

    After 3 months on Siglot.ai:

  • Contract turnaround time dropped from 12 days to 3 days (75% reduction)
  • 95% of documents signed within 48 hours (up from 30%)
  • Legal team saved 20 hours per week on administrative tasks
  • Zero lost or misplaced documents (previously 2-3 per month)
  • Key Success Factors

    1. Executive sponsorship: The COO championed the project and set clear expectations.

    2. Template standardization: They took time upfront to create consistent, well-designed templates.

    3. Training investment: Every user completed our 30-minute onboarding course.

    4. Integration with existing tools: Siglot.ai connected to their Salesforce and HRIS systems.

    What's Next

    Acme is now exploring our API to automate contract generation directly from their CRM. They're also piloting AI contract analysis to speed up legal review.
