Claver - Who uses it? What does it do?

Claver(“Clever!”) is a business productivity web application that helps business owners, agencies, and freelancers to manage their Agreements and Proposals digitally.

When Claver first began, COVID was less of a thing. However, the need for virtual business enablement products like Claver has now grown in relevance now that B2B activities are increasingly taking on digital forms. Business owners therefore not only require digital channels to reach its customer for marketing, but also separate channels to participate in business activities that are conducted digital. Consequently, the ability to prospect and officially close deals with Agreements becomes even more important than before.

Large businesses have recognised this early on, and invested heavily in building in-house solutions to digitally manage Agreements and Contracts. Smaller businesses also have the means to do it electronically, but you would know that the experience of doing so is subpar if you have ever done it yourself. Amongst all business productivity areas, it is one of the frequently overlooked and most definitely underserved area.

To demonstrate, let’s map out the typical way a business owner would handle Agreements electronically today.

Managing Agreements Electronically

If you are a business owner reading this, you'll probably find this very familiar.

Outcome

  1. Productivity: Tedious. Both parties have to juggle multiple (completed and incomplete)  copies of the same Agreement that are floating around.
  2. Time taken: A few days, possibly 1-2 weeks.
  3. Business Impact: Negative. Any party can drop out at any stage of the process. Longer processes means higher probability of deals falling through.

Against this backdrop, there's a lot of aspects to work with to come up with a better solution, especially one that is fit for freelancers & business owners to make their businesses next-gen ready.

Here's the re-imagined process that Claver envisioned and developed the web service with:

Digital Agreements With Claver

Claver has a Direct Signatures feature which allows you to send your digital agreements over to a partner via a link. You can embed the link even in text messages and make sure that the right party receives it. Once received, they can open the link, and sign the agreement directly - all in a single step.

On top of providing a convenient top-notch experience of closing a deal with your business partners, you are also presenting agreement information in a clear and concise manner that would help to align common interests better to ensure building that all important business relationships for the longer haul.

Outcome with Claver

  1. Productivity: Boosted. It's a shorter process. A unified, singular digital copy is  updated in real time during key events.
