Introduction

In the world of sales and vendor management, scaling capacity efficiently remains a significant challenge. While expanding direct sales teams can spur growth, there’s an undeniable ceiling to internal capacity as well as resources. Many vendors find themselves at a crossroads, where the method of direct sales expansion no longer yield the desired return and results. This is where a robust distribution strategy comes into play.

Recognising the Tipping Point

So, when is the right time to reconsider your strategy from a pure direct model? The red flags will become visible: slowing conversion rates, a decline in productivity, and a noticeable stagnation in growth. It’s at this point that distributors can offer the much-needed leverage, albeit with a need for detailed planning.

The Economic Benefits of Distributors

For those vendors who find themselves grappling with capacity constraints, pivoting to a distribution strategy can be a game-changer. Distributors, with their vast regional expertise and unparalleled customer access, credit capabilities can take on the heavy lifting. From managing accounts to streamlining intricate functions like credit assessments and multi-country sales operations, distributors can be your catalyst for growth.

Weighing the Returns on Distributor Investment

Like every strategy, leveraging external channels comes with its set of challenges. However, a comprehensive analysis often showcases distribution as the key to scalable growth. The initial transition costs are quickly offset by the long-term benefits of optimised capacity utilisation and significant overhead reductions. The key? Select the right distribution partner who understands your business and make sure processes and documents are well-structured. Often a vendor will look at distribution and see it as giving away margin, but without scale you have no growth and the potential to stagnate your business.

Conclusion

Distributors are not just external entities; they are your partners for growth. They offer vendors the unique opportunity to align their capacity with their growth aspirations. By providing the necessary operational leverage, distributors ensure that vendors can expand without stretching their resources too thin. For those vendors standing at pivot point, distributor partnerships might just be the answer to sustainable capacity planning and strategic growth.

Contracts are a company’s lifeblood. Delays in contract signings have a direct impact on revenue. The bottleneck of productivity: legal departments. Volatile market conditions, complex business relationships and legal frameworks increase their workload. One solution to up efficiency and reduce costs is legal tech and automated contract review.

We provide an overview of which software can effectively support which contract management processes, how users can ensure high quality in contract review tools, and how legal departments can improve their future readiness.

Golden 20s? Challenges in Contract Management

On average, companies lose more than 9% in sales due to slow contract management processes . This is the conclusion of a study by the World Commerce and Contracting association. The economic impact of slow contract processes varies, depending on industry and company size . But anyone who works in  legal will be able to confirm: Contract management is time-consuming as it involves a lot of manual effort.

According to an EY study, the workload will increase by an average of 25% in the coming years without any increase in staffing. That’s why investments in technology will skyrocket and demand is already increasing. While 70% of companies have developed a technology strategy for their contract management, 99% lack the data and technological foundation to implement effective change.

Solution Building Block: Legal Tech

Legal Tech is a buzzword that’s never missing from any discussion about more efficient processes in legal departments.

What is Legal Tech?

Legal Tech refers to all digital applications specifically designed to speed up legal activities, improve the effectiveness of legal support, and make it easier for people to access legal services.

The spectrum of legal tech is wide, ranging from simple rule-based applications such as document management systems for law firms to legal tech AI, i.e. tools that automate work processes using artificial intelligence.

In contract management, legal tech can be used in all phases of the contract lifecycle, from contract review to document archiving.

The 5 Phases of the Contract Life Cycle

Which lifecycle phases a contract goes through varies depending on the type of contract. Individual phases can be skipped and the order of the phases might change. In principle, however, five phases can be identified in contract management, with numerous opportunities for digital support.

1. Initiation

In this phase, companies decide that a contract needs to be concluded, for example because a product is being sold or a business partnership is being entered into.

By using document automation applications, lawyers can access standardized contract templates that speed up drafting. Other digital solutions offer add-ins for text editors so users can search legal databases directly from the contract document.

2. Negotiation

In this phase, the terms of the contract are negotiated, including price, deliverables and liability. Employees review contract drafts and templates.

Cloud-based software solutions can simplify the process by allowing the various parties to leave change requests and comments on paragraphs directly in the document.

3. Conclusion

The contract is signed and both parties exchange the necessary documents and records.

Digital signature applications eliminate the need for on-site appointments and reduce waiting time which is unavoidable when sending documents by mail. Thanks to encryption and certification, digital signatures are often even more secure than handwritten signatures on paper (reversal of the burden of proof).

4. Implementation & Monitoring

The terms of the contract come into force and the services are provided. Companies monitor implementation and compliance with the contract. If necessary, they agree on changes and adjustments to the contract.

Document Management Systems (DMS) serve as a central repository for contracts and simplify management, for example, through tagging and notification of deadlines. Contract analysis tools make it possible to extract data from contracts and identify opportunities for business development via comprehensive evaluations.

5. Termination

The contract is terminated or reaches the end of its term. Contract documents are archived in accordance with applicable law.

Legally compliant archiving is a function of DMS. Documents are removed from the operational system to optimize processing power and are stored securely and searchably in cost-efficient archive systems.

Legal Tech Use Case: Automated Contract Review

While digital solutions have long been available for managing and archiving legal documents, researching sources and creating contract templates, the actual review of contracts has hardly been accelerated. The comparison of old and new contracts, the compliance check with internal regulations, requires the expertise of lawyers. Automated contract review promises to open the bottleneck of productivity.

Benefits of automated contract review

• Massive acceleration of contract review
• Fewer errors due to lack of focus
• Consistent review quality
• Review by departmental staff possible

The market for automated contract review is growing. To assess the quality of the applications, it is necessary to understand the different ways in which the tools work. This is because the performance of classic automated contract review differs significantly from the capabilities of AI-based tools.

How does classic automated contract review work?

Without going into the workings of individual tools, classic automated contract review works according to the following principle:

The contract is entered into the system, either as a text document or a scan of a paper document.

The system works on the basis of defined rules or algorithms and thus searches the contract for specific clauses or language patterns.

The system then performs pre-defined actions, including marking matches or mismatches or generating a report. If a free-text search is offered, the software only finds content if there is a 100% word match.

Since the classic automated contract check is based on fixed rules/algorithms, it is prone to errors. As soon as contract sections are worded differently than defined, discrepancies or matches are not detected. The support provided by such tools can prepare the review by a lawyer in simple contract cases, but in many cases it increases the risk of errors.

How well does contract review AI?

Unlike classic contract review tools, AI-based applications work with self-learning algorithms.

Users provide feedback to the software where it has misrecognized text passages. Over time, the contract review AI gets better and better in its results. The drawback: training takes a lot of time and is expensive. Pre-trained artificial intelligence works in a similar way. If companies already have a large number of contracts in the way they will be audited in the future, the AI can be pre-trained. This reduces the training effort for companies, but it’s costly and in most cases there is not a large enough dataset to perform reliable training. In addition, this type of AI is prone to errors, as new wording or contract components that were not included in the training are not recognized.

The alternative is artificial intelligence that understands texts on the meaning level. These semantic algorithms do not need to be trained. They read documents similarly to humans and can recognize discrepancies and matches even in text sections that are worded completely differently.

An example of a contract review AI of this category is semantha®. The application offers high review accuracy because it understands texts at the level of meaning. Thus, it’s possible to compare different phrasings without training. At the same time, it minimizes the risk of errors by consistently following a human-in-the-loop approach: Legal professionals and artificial intelligence work hand in hand and  combine the strengths of humans and machines.

The future of (automated) contract review

Legal tech is about to fundamentally transform the way legal departments work. Investment in contract management tools will increase significantly in the coming years. Out of sheer necessity.

While automation is already commonplace in other areas of business, the automation of legal processes is only starting to take off. With the rapid progress in artificial intelligence, it is now more and more possible to outsource demanding tasks to AI, tasks that previously required human judgment.

Among lawyers, this evolution is viewed quite critically. And understandably so. However, the concern about becoming replaceable and losing jobs to AI is holding back the digital transformation of legal departments.

Instead of viewing AI as competition, lawyers should see the smart tools for what they are: Tools whose value depends on how they are used. It’s true, the technology will change how lawyers work, but it’s also true that these tools will increasingly become a necessity for achieving competitive efficiency.

Introduction

Are you looking for a way to keep your organisation safe and secure, monitor certain spaces or moderate, monitor and comply with any policies and guidelines within your industry, but you’re not sure where to start? but you’re not sure where to start? There are a number of camera solutions that could suit your needs.

But which video technology solutions are available and how can they benefit your business? First, let’s look at the different types of cameras.

IP/PTZ/Fisheye

IP camera’s, or Internet Protocol camera’s, are commonly used for surveillance but unlike CCTV cameras, they require no local recording device, only a local area network. These cameras receive control data and send image data via an IP network.

A PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera is built with mechanical parts that allows them to swivel from left to right, tilt up and down, and zoom in and out of a scene. PTZ cameras are a great option for providing wide coverage, covering blind spots or large areas with a single camera.

Fisheye cameras offer a panoramic view with a wider angle offering up to a 360-degree field of vision. They are typically used to cover larger geographic areas and expansive locations.

Available Options

IP PTZ cameras from Bolide Technology can quickly move between user-defined presets, tours, and positions. Using premium components provides extended life span and millions of rotations. They are auto-tracking, meaning they follow moving persons and objects as they enter and exit the camera’s view. Contact us to learn more about the options available or take a look for yourself.

Where do you want your video footage stored?

The first video recorder to note is a digital video recorder (DVR). These are electronic devices that records video in a digital format to a disk drive, USB flash drive, SD memory card, SSD or other local or networked mass storage device.

DVRs connect to security cameras with an analog video cable and provide a more budget price for multiple cameras, however, multiple cables are required. Another thing to note is that the analog signals power decreases with distance so if you were looking to capture video at a large distance, this can lead to poor video quality due to a weaker signal. Although some DVRs offer audio connections, they don’t always have enough audio ports for every camera.

Another option is a network video recorder (NVR) which records video footage and stores it on a hard disk, a mass storage device, or cloud storage. They are paired with digital IP cameras to create a video surveillance system.

An NVR receives pre-processed video files from IP cameras over ethernet cables or wireless connection. Comparing to a DVR, NVRs only need one cable to send power and signal. They also use newer technology such as AI motion detection and audio so may be a better option for your business if audio and a better signal are required.

Mobile Video Solutions

Depending on your needs, a mobile video solution may be a great option as they can easily be moved from location to location. There are a range of mobile video solutions available on the market including Mobile Dashcams, Mobile DVRs and Mobile Cameras.

As well as remote monitoring of mobile assets, Mobile Dashcams are very useful for vehicle surveillance. Do you have a fleet of vehicles? Mobile Dashcams can help with any potential accident insurance claims, reduce insurance premiums and can be used to record driver behaviour. Keeping your staff safe is important and Bolide Technology can also provide driver behaviour alert systems which helps drivers stay alert and focused, reducing vehicle accidents. Distractions and signs of fatigue are detected and the driver’s attention to the road is monitored with visual and audible alerts in real time.

Conclusion

Each camera solution has its own benefits and drawbacks. It is also important to consider what resolution and data you will need to be best suited to your needs. We work with Bolide Technology, a worldwide manufacturer and ISO 9001:2008 certified distributor of CCTV surveillance products and accessories based in Southern California, to provide all your camera needs.
