For most legal departments using Docsvault, a standard contract approval workflow – covering submission, multi-step review routing, approval sign-off, and digital signature collection – can be configured and deployed in couple of hours using the visual workflow designer. No coding or IT involvement is required.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the approval chain.
The more meaningful timeline question for most legal teams is not how long it takes to configure the workflow – it is how long contract approvals take after automation is in place. Manual contract approval cycles typically run 2–4 weeks for complex agreements. Automated routing with deadline enforcement and escalation rules typically reduces this to 1–2 business days for the same complexity, with simple NDAs and standard agreements often turning around in mins.
