Meet Gregory and His Challenge

Gregory, a Human Resource Manager for an international company based in Japan, navigates the complexities of the online education industry. His mission is to efficiently manage the hiring of various contractors, including teachers, video makers, and content creators. Gregory's primary goal is to streamline the contract management process while maintaining control and flexibility. His dedication to efficiency and organization makes him a relatable hero in this story.

Gregory's story resonates with anyone who has faced the complexities of contract management.

The Struggle with Manual Processes

Managing contracts manually was a significant hurdle for Gregory. He used Google Documents templates, which required manual editing and emailing for signatures. This semi-automated process was still time-consuming and prone to errors. Tracking the return and signing of contracts was a constant challenge, leading to inefficiencies and delays.

The manual process impacted not only Gregory's efficiency but also the contractors' experience. The back-and-forth emails and manual signatures were cumbersome and time-consuming. Gregory couldn't solve these issues alone, as the process was deeply ingrained in the company's operations. The need for a more streamlined and automated solution became evident, pushing Gregory to seek external help.

Portant's ability to automate tracking and send reminders for unsigned contracts significantly reduced the manual workload. Contractors could now e-sign contracts directly in the browser, simplifying their experience.

Now, they just receive the contract in their mailbox, e-sign it in their browser, and it takes just a few seconds." The collaborative efforts and special adjustments made Portant the perfect fit for Gregory's needs.
