While tracking contracts is an essential task for real estate teams, it’s also a highly complex and risk-filled endeavor. Real estate contracts, leases, vendor contracts, and property management agreements are incredibly detailed documents. When mistakes are made, deadlines are missed, or contract obligations are unfulfilled, the financial implications can be serious. Yet, when real estate teams attempt to monitor documents with spreadsheets and manual processes, contract tracking can consume too much time and result in too many errors.

A robust contract management software solution can help by automating many aspects of contract tracking to accelerate timelines, ensure accuracy, and minimize the burden on real estate teams. The optimal system will automate many routine tasks to ensure timeliness and accuracy. Superior contract management solutions will also be fully customizable, enabling real estate teams to adapt the software to the way they do business.

As a Dynamic Workplace Management platform, Quickbase provides commercial real estate management software with automated contract tracking software. With Quickbase’s no-code application development, real estate teams can gain complete visibility into the status of every contract, edit, approval, and signature to execute and act on contracts with greater speed and accuracy.

What’s important in contract tracking software

A contract tracking software solution should provide real estate teams with several key capabilities.

Automation

Automated solutions increase efficiency and improve accuracy by eliminating many of the manual, time-consuming, error-prone tasks typically involved in tracking contracts. Automation enables real estate teams to focus on higher-value tasks while accelerating the process of creating, editing, and executing documents.

Customization

Fully customizable solutions ensure that contract tracking software can adapt to the needs of each team and team member, rather than requiring teams to adapt to the limitations of the software. By enabling the technology to evolve as teams grow and business requirements change, customizable solutions also future-proof the investment in contract tracking software.

Integration

To enhance efficiency, contract tracking software must integrate easily with other technologies such as email platforms, building management systems, and real estate asset management software. Seamless integration ensures data consistency across documents and eliminates the need to manually import and export data from various solutions.

Consolidation

A centralized document repository is an essential feature of contract tracking software. When all documents are consolidated and stored in one place, teams can find documents faster, manage versions easily, and streamline the process of collaborating on edits, redlining contracts, and collecting signatures.
