The construction industry is built on precision, deadlines, and coordination, yet many companies still rely on manual contracts to manage their projects. STARK, a leading supplier of construction materials, revolutionized its processes by adopting Oneflow’s all-in-one contract management system. Here’s how Oneflow can help your construction business save time, improve project delivery, and eliminate unnecessary risks.
Manual contracts are like misaligned blueprints
In construction, even small errors can lead to costly project delays and safety risks. Manual contracts are no different—they slow down approvals, create miscommunication, and make it harder to keep up with project demands.
Why you should care
Manual contract workflows leave room for error and can cause missed deadlines, disputes over terms, and compliance headaches. In the fast-paced construction industry, where delays can disrupt entire timelines, the inefficiencies of manual processes are a liability.
What you can do about it
Leverage webforms as a service from Oneflow. This solution allows you to create dynamic, standardized templates that simplify your contract processes. These webforms ensure accuracy, streamline approvals, and let all stakeholders stay on the same page.
