Workflows

FROM PROBLEM TO SOLUTION
SOUND FAMILIAR?

The first step is done. What happens next?

Sales, procurement and project work continue in separate records. Context can get lost between decisions and handovers.

You have to piece the details together to see the full picture.

HERE IS HOW CONTRACTPILOT HELPS

Let the next step carry the context forward.

Follow practical sales, supplier procurement and project examples. See how documents, decisions, delivery and reports connect.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR WORK

Traceable handovers from records and decisions to delivery.

02 / WORKFLOW

From need to delivery. Traceable steps.

Sales, procurement and project work start in different ways. Documents, decisions, tasks and financial records retain their connections.

01 / 04

Record the customer need, proposal versions and decision.

Connected features

See how everyday work fits together.

Follow three practical examples. Each step links to a detailed explanation of the relevant feature.

FROM ENQUIRY TO PAYMENT

Follow a complete business process.

A practical example connects sales, proposals, contract review, approvals, service, delivery and finance. Each stage shows who acts, what they check and what becomes available for the next step.

Names, amounts and service settings in this walkthrough are illustrative. Actual permissions, contracts and configured connections determine what you can do.

  1. Sales representative

    Partner and contact

    Find the partner or create the company and contact. Check billing details and the email address. Review a trial import before accepting it to avoid unnecessary duplicates.

    Result: a partner record that subsequent opportunities and contracts can reference.

  2. Sales representative

    Sales opportunity and next action

    Record the need, estimated value and currency, expected decision date, owner and next action. In this example, implementation, monthly licences and support have an expected net value of HUF 6,800,000. This is neither an issued invoice nor received revenue.

    Result: a trackable sales stage and a dated next action.

    Detailed feature guide →
  3. Sales representative

    Upload and send a proposal

    Upload the PDF or DOCX proposal and enter its title, amount, currency, expiry and version note. Check the recipient and link validity before sending. Use your personal outgoing mailbox or share the protected link manually. Email verification codes can be enabled separately.

    Result: an expiring, revocable link tied to a specific proposal version.

    Detailed feature guide →
  4. Customer and sales representative

    The customer’s decision

    The customer reviews the shared version and can accept with their name and explicit confirmation, or reject with a reason. With multiple recipients, the first final decision closes the round. Acceptance marks the opportunity as won; rejection requires a follow-up decision. New content needs a new version and decision round.

    Check: proposal acceptance is a business decision, not electronic signing of the contract.

    Detailed feature guide →
  5. Sales representative or contract owner

    Contract draft from the won opportunity

    Create the contract draft from the won opportunity. Known partner and commercial details are prepared for transfer; check the final title, period, owners and value. The relationship remains bidirectional, so the sales history can be found from the contract.

    Result: a draft contract with its history preserved. A lost opportunity cannot use this conversion.

    Detailed feature guide →
  6. Contract owner and finance

    Lines and settlement rules

    The example has three lines: one-off implementation at net HUF 2,600,000, monthly licences at HUF 300,000 and monthly support at HUF 50,000. Enter quantity, unit, tax, period and performance-certification requirements. The contract’s headline value does not replace the lines used for invoicing.

    Check: do not bill a period that has already been invoiced.

    Detailed feature guide →
  7. Service owner

    Service and agreed deadlines

    Set working days, office hours, response and resolution targets, warnings and escalation for the support line. The commitment is attached when a case starts. Review allowances and extra work against the contract; recording time does not itself issue an invoice.

    Result: a service case connects to the right contract, line and commitment.

    Detailed feature guide →
  8. Customer, contract owner and legal reviewer

    Document review and clause checks

    The customer can respond to the shared document version or submit a new version. Internal notes and approvals remain outside the external view. Review required, prohibited and recommended clauses. Explain exceptions and obtain the appropriate approval; unresolved blocking exceptions prevent signing.

    Check: automated flags support human review and do not replace legal judgement.

    Detailed feature guide →
  9. Assigned approvers

    Internal approval

    Start the published workflow version. Legal, financial and management checks can be assigned to sequential steps with owners and deadlines. Complete the task through its workflow action; marking an ordinary task done does not replace approval. Corrections or a new document version may require another review under the configured rules.

    Result: a traceable internal decision on the reviewed content.

    Detailed feature guide →
  10. Authorised signers

    Electronic signing

    Send the final PDF through the configured DocuSign connection in the chosen signer order. Track status and, on completion, check the signed PDF and returned Certificate of Completion. Further work on the active contract remains linked to this history.

    Requirement: your own DocuSign account and a configured connection. The described workflow is not qualified electronic signing.

    Detailed feature guide →
  11. Delivery owner and approver

    Record and approve performance

    Open the correct period, record actual quantity and explain any difference. In this example, implementation performance is net HUF 2,600,000. The approver can accept it or return it for correction. The certificate preserves the details in effect when it was created.

    Result: approved performance from which an invoice draft can be prepared and checked.

    Detailed feature guide →
  12. Finance

    Invoice and received payment

    Check the draft, then issue it through the configured invoicing connection. The sample net HUF 2,600,000 becomes gross HUF 3,302,000 at 27% VAT. Issuance and receipt of money are separate events: record the actual payment with its date and bank reference. Partial payment leaves a trackable outstanding balance.

    Check: sample amounts and tax rates illustrate the workflow; they are not a price offer or tax guidance.

    Detailed feature guide →
  13. Owners and managers

    Follow-up and process analytics

    Review open actions, outstanding amounts and service status from the overview. Filter process analytics by period, workflow and group, then open the underlying records. Interpret delay estimates together with sample size and uncertainty; sparse history cannot support a reliable conclusion.

    Result: an understandable, verifiable view of the business lifecycle within your access scope.

BUSINESS WORK IN A SHARED CONTEXT

Connect purchasing, delivery and results.

Alongside contracts, manage supplier decisions, team tasks and reports you can examine. Choose a work area to explore its steps and requirements.

From supplier requirements to a traceable order

  1. Register the starting quotation request, quotation or purchase order.
  2. Record requirement lines, ownership and access.
  3. Compare supplier quotations and explain the selection.
  4. Prepare the complete order from accepted lines, then link the supplier contract.

Recording an order does not automatically send it to the supplier.

Detailed guide

From project setup to actual effort

  1. Choose a leader, team and phases, or start from a project template.
  2. Assign tasks and define dependencies and milestones.
  3. Track progress in list, Kanban, Gantt or calendar views.
  4. Record time and compare it with estimates in the project or a report.

Time tracking does not automatically invoice work; capacity and cost planning remain planned extensions.

Detailed guide

From a business question to a shared report

  1. Choose what one row represents, such as a contract or invoice line.
  2. Add accessible relationships, columns and conditions.
  3. Run the report with current search values and check the result.
  4. Save and share the template or request a protected Excel export.

Sharing a template preserves the recipient’s data permissions; different currencies are not added without conversion.

Detailed guide

Availability depends on enabled functions, permissions and configured external connections. During a demonstration, we clarify which capabilities can be used in your environment.
