Your work does not need to be hard and complex. Get rid of systems that add to your work and stress. We have worked very hard to make DocuX easy and intuitive.
Unlike Spotdraft which relies on external tools/providers for contracts creation and collaboration, DocuX has been purpose-built from scratch with all native features.
Spotdraft is built for Legal teams. DocuX is built for all teams- Sales, Legal, Finance, HR, Procurement, everyone.
Spotdraft is only a contract workflow. DocuX is all purpose platform for all your documents including contracts management- business or personal.
Automate all the noise that passes for work. Docs are segregated, prioritized, sorted, and controlled for you.
DocuX costs substantially less than total cost of Spotdraft subscription. DocuX also saves 100% of set up time, efforts and costs.
Say goodbye to docs/contracts scattered across versions, devices, emails, tools, and users. With DocuX, every doc/contract is a reliable, single source of truth.
Move all collaboration and reviews out of mailbox and scattered tools onto the doc. With DocuX, 100% of the internal and external collaboration happens on-the-doc.
