Paper contracts have a way of piling up—filing cabinets, storage rooms, off‑site boxes… and every time you need one, it somehow becomes a treasure hunt. That’s exactly why digitizing your legacy documents isn’t just a “nice to have.” It’s a strategic move that saves time, reduces risk, and gives your team instant access to the information they need.
If you’re ready to bring your paper contracts into the digital world, the Contract Hub makes the process surprisingly simple. Here’s how to get it done in just three steps.
1️⃣ Gather & Scan Your Paper Contracts
Start by collecting the contracts you want to digitize—active agreements, renewals, vendor contracts, HR documents, or anything your team still relies on.
Tips for smooth scanning:
- Use a high‑quality scanner or mobile scanning app
- Save files as PDF for best compatibility
- Keep naming conventions consistent (e.g., VendorName_Agreement_2024.pdf)
Once scanned, you’re ready for the next step.
2️⃣ Upload Your Documents into the Contract Hub
This is where the magic begins.
Upload your scanned PDFs directly into the Contract Hub, where they become instantly searchable and centrally organized.
