Case Study
Reduction in Document Turnaround Time
Improvement in Operational Efficiency
A global leader in automotive and heavy machinery manufacturing, specializing in construction and agricultural equipment, with a vast network of dealerships and partners.
The company manages a high volume of dealer contracts, product agreements, and service documentation as part of its sales, support, and partnership operations.
To keep up with growing demand, the company needed a streamlined way to handle transaction documents efficiently and securely.
The company faced significant challenges in managing its document generation and approval processes, particularly as its dealership and customer base expanded:
Manual Document Creation: Contracts, product agreements, and service proposals were manually generated using templates in Word, which often required additional formatting and editing. This resulted in long document turnaround times, delaying transactions and service commitments.
Inconsistent Templates and Formatting: Different departments used varied document templates, leading to inconsistencies, outdated language, and increased chances of errors in contracts shared with dealers and customers.
Limited Remote Capabilities: The reliance on physical signatures created bottlenecks, especially as more dealers and clients moved to remote transactions. This manual signing process slowed down deal closures and strained resources.
Compliance and Tracking Challenges: With documentation spread across systems, tracking approval statuses was time-consuming and error-prone, increasing the risk of missed deadlines and compliance issues.
The company needed a solution to:
Automate document generation using standardized templates.
Enable digital signatures to accelerate approvals.
Provide real-time tracking of document status to improve oversight.
Ensure compliance and transparency through secure documentation and audit trails.
Minuscule Technologies implemented a Salesforce-based automated document generation solution, incorporating DocuSign for secure digital signatures. This integrated solution allowed the company to generate, track, and approve contracts and service agreements within the Salesforce platform, significantly improving document handling speed and accuracy. Key Components of the Solution:
Automated Document Templates: Salesforce was configured to generate contracts, proposals, and service agreements automatically using standardized templates. These templates pulled customer and dealer information directly from Salesforce, ensuring each document was accurate and consistent across departments. Employees could generate fully formatted contracts with a few clicks, reducing manual effort and turnaround time.
DocuSign Integration for Digital Signatures: Minuscule integrated DocuSign into Salesforce, enabling dealers, customers, and internal stakeholders to sign documents remotely. This digital signing process was secure and met regulatory standards, eliminating the need for physical paperwork and supporting the company’s shift toward remote operations.
Real-Time Document Tracking and Notifications: Salesforce dashboards provided real-time insights into the status of each document from generation to approval. Managers could see which documents were pending signatures or awaiting further action, enabling them to proactively address any delays. Automated notifications and reminders helped ensure timely approvals and completion of contracts.
Compliance with Built-In Audit Trails: Every document generated and signed through Salesforce and DocuSign included a detailed audit trail, providing clear visibility into the approval and signing process. The system maintained a centralized repository of completed documents, making it easy to retrieve records for audits and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
