Use Case: Custom interface designed for contract document management

Summary

Crooze Corporation helps enterprise companies greatly improve the overall acceptance and adoption of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems within their organization. To accomplish this, the company develops technology solutions that accelerate their customers’ efforts to transition from on-premise systems to the cloud, including a range of applications built on Box. One of these integrations is Crooze Contracts Management for Box, a complete turn-key solution that enables organizations to more easily access and manage their contract documents.

Challenge

Typically, enterprise organizations store their important contracts in an ECM system, yet many still experience difficulties with accessing the specific contracts they need in a timely manner. Compounding this issue, contract management processes are often cumbersome and inefficient. For example, administration staff may use highly-manual workflows and tools to track the status of contracts that are under review or approaching their renewal date.

Many enterprise companies already use Box to securely store their important documents in the cloud. However, these customers may not be getting the most out of their Box implementation and would benefit from an experience that’s tailored specifically to contract management.

Solution

Crooze has developed a unique solution that gives Box customers full-feature contract management library capabilities. This is coupled with a simple, easy-to-use dashboard that requires little to no training for casual users. The Crooze application gives users tools to easily find various types of contracts in the system, and then preview over 150 file types from within the application itself. Users also get quick visibility into the status of contracts at various points in their processing, as well as information on updates, collaborators, and version control. Crooze toolsets enable users to upload assets with associated metadata, either individually or in batches to maximize productivity.

Using Crooze’s cloud architecture, Box users can easily configure the Crooze contract management application and be up and running quickly — with no coding needed. Because contract documents are stored in Box, users are able to leverage all the tools and integrations that Box provides, including Box Drive and digital signatures. Access is based on Box credentials, so there is no need to set alternate permissions. Notification tools help document collaborators stay informed of key dates in the process and ensure that contract timelines stay on track.

Crooze Contract Management for Box is part of Crooze’s overall solution suite built specifically for Box. Companies using this application also leverage the Crooze Digital Asset Management, Enterprise, and Corporate Libraries. The entire suite of applications can be deployed in a few days or weeks, instead of the months or years that is typical with legacy on-premise solutions.
