FAQ about the ROI of Contract Management
What is ROI in the context of contract management?
ROI stands for “Return on Investment,” which is a way to measure the financial benefits of investing in a contract management solution like Oneflow. The ROI can be calculated by comparing the costs of implementing Oneflow with the potential financial gains it generates over a certain period.
What are some of the benefits of using Oneflow for contract management?
Oneflow provides a range of benefits that can help organizations save time and money across the contract lifecycle:
- Pre-sign – Speed up your contract creation process with customizable templates and CRM/ATS integrations
- Sign – Decrease the signing time by editing the contract even after it’s been sent, and letting your counterparty comment and fill out forms directly into the contract
- Post-sign – Mitigate risk with an organized contract archive and automatic reminders for contract duration periods
At a company level, you can also have increased control over the contract process and reduce user errors by setting up dedicated workspaces for your different departments so that users only see the contracts and templates relevant to them.
How can I calculate the ROI of using Oneflow for contract management?
To get an estimate of the return on investment (ROI) of utilizing Oneflow for contract management, you can use the ROI calculator on this page. When calculating the potential return on investment, this tool considers several factors such as the current number of contracts being managed, the time required for managing them, and the number of people involved in the contract management process. Projected savings are then based on the average savings and estimations of our current users.
The ROI calculator also deducts the licensing costs of Oneflow’s Essential pricing package (which costs 17€ per license per month) from the final results. This deduction is based on the number of people currently managing contracts and assumes that the same number of licenses would be needed if you were to use Oneflow. Overall, the ROI calculator can be a useful tool to explore the potential benefits of using Oneflow for contract management.
What are some of the factors that can impact the ROI of using Oneflow?
The ROI of using Oneflow can be impacted by a range of factors, including the size and complexity of your organization, the number and value of contracts you manage, and the efficiency of your current contract management processes. Additionally, the ROI may vary depending on the specific features and services you choose to use within the Oneflow platform.
How long does it take to see a return on investment from using Oneflow for contract management?
The time it takes to see a return on investment from using Oneflow can vary depending on the specific circumstances of your organization. However, many organizations report seeing a positive ROI within the first few months of using the platform, as it can help to reduce contract cycle times, improve accuracy, and streamline contract processes.
What causes PDF contracts to require additional time and money for management?
Although the PDF has been around since 1993 (almost three decades ago!), it has undergone significant changes. However, due to its inherent static nature, the PDF is still not suitable for our data-driven world. Many “e-sign providers” attempt to make it more useful by adding a layer of data fields on top of a PDF or using image recognition software. However, even with the addition of these data fields, a PDF cannot be fully interactive or responsive. In contrast, digital contracts are dynamic, searchable, and can be processed to integrate with other business systems which can lead to significant time savings.
What does this mean in practice? With digital contracts you can edit the contract in real time even after it’s been sent without having to recreate and re-upload the document. This saves you and your counterparty valuable time when negotiating, and minimizes risk by reducing the amount of secondary locations your contracts and templates have to live in.

“Oneflow is really time efficient, and we know that when we have everything in place with the Pipedrive integration and the templates.
