From review to signature — a clear flow with a visible status for every contract
In 4mycontracts.net a contract moves through a defined flow: it is reviewed, then sent for signature to one or more signatories. The status is visible at every step, signatories who have not signed receive reminders, and every action is recorded.
A contract flow without email chains
Review, then signature
The contract goes through a review step before it is sent for signature, with a status that always shows where it is.
Several signatories
Send the contract to more than one signatory and follow who has signed.
Reminders
Signatories who have not signed yet receive a reminder.
Event history
Every step — sending, review, signature — is recorded in the contract's event history.
Generate the contract from a template, send it for review and, once the text is final, for signature. The status updates as people act, and the event history keeps the trail.
Advantages and limitations of the review and signature flow
Advantages
- The whole path from review to signature happens in one place.
- The status of each contract is visible at a glance.
- Signatories who have not signed are reminded.
- The event history keeps a trail of every step.
Limitations
- The flow covers review and signature; there are no multi-level internal approval chains (for example manager, legal, finance).
- There are no approval thresholds by contract value and no approval with one click from an email.
- There is no automatic escalation of overdue steps.
Bottom line
A good fit when the process is review, then signature. If you need formal multi-level internal approvals, they have to be handled outside the platform.
