Learn how DMS+ automates legal contract review and approval with smart workflows, version control, compliance checks and secure digital signatures; saving time, reducing errors and improving audit readiness.
Legal contract review is one of the most time-sensitive and risk-prone processes in any organization. Whether it's vendor agreements, NDAs, employment contracts, or joint venture MOUs, the traditional contract review process often involves endless email threads, version mismatches, delayed approvals and compliance oversights. This slows down business deals, increases legal exposure and drains valuable time from legal and business teams.
With DMS+, the legal contract review and approval workflow becomes faster, safer and more structured; ensuring accuracy, compliance and visibility at every step.
Legal teams face multiple hurdles during the contract lifecycle:
Version Chaos: Multiple drafts circulate across email and shared drives, leading to outdated or unsigned versions.
Approval Delays: Getting internal and external stakeholders to review and sign off can take weeks.
Lack of Traceability: Without audit trails, it’s hard to prove who reviewed or approved what and when.
Compliance Risk: Contracts may miss key clauses or violate internal legal guidelines.
Manual Dependency: Legal teams spend hours manually following up, formatting templates and archiving signed copies.
According to Gartner, legal departments spend up to 40% of their time on low-value contract administrative tasks. This is where automation becomes a strategic advantage.
dMACQ DMS+ offers a unified, intelligent platform to manage the full contract lifecycle—from drafting to execution and archival. It transforms a chaotic manual process into a streamlined digital workflow.
Here’s how DMS+ simplifies legal contract handling:
Template-Driven Contract Generation: Use pre-approved legal templates for various contract types (e.g., NDAs, SLAs, employment letters). DMS+ allows you to upload Word templates with placeholders that auto-fill from onboarding forms or master data.
Custom Workflow Builder: Create rule-based approval paths based on contract type, value, or department. For example, contracts above ₹5 lakhs can be routed to Legal Head or CFO for extra scrutiny.
Clause Library & Validation Rules: Ensure key legal clauses are never missed. DMS+ allows tagging of required clauses and alerts if critical sections are modified or omitted.
Version Control & Comparison: Every change is tracked, time-stamped and attributed to a user. You can easily compare versions to identify insertions, deletions, or redlined text.
Digital Signatures & Audit Trails: Seamlessly integrate with Aadhaar eSign, DSC tokens, or third-party signature providers. All signatories are logged with IP address, timestamp and document hash.
Role-Based Access & Expiry Tracking: Legal contracts can be securely shared with external lawyers, vendors, or internal approvers with view-only, comment-only, or edit rights. Get reminders before contract expiry or renewal dates.
Use Case: Vendor Agreement Workflow
A procurement team uploads a draft vendor agreement in DMS+.
Result: Contract approval time reduced from 14 days to 3 days. No version mismatches. Full audit trail for compliance.
Use Case: Employment Contracts
HR creates offer letters using a template and form integration.
Result: Legal team effort reduced by 60%. Zero cases of missing clauses or unsigned contracts.
DMS+ is more than just a storage system—it’s a full-fledged Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) tool designed with legal teams in mind.
In today’s fast-moving business environment, legal delays can mean lost deals, missed deadlines and compliance risks.
