Case Study: Partner4Work achieves 77% faster project funding and streamlined compliance with CounselLink

Partner4Work Speeds Project Funding With 77% Faster Contract Approvals

Partner4Work, the Workforce Development Board for the Pittsburgh area, struggled with manual, paper‑and‑email contract workflows that caused version conflicts, long approval cycles, and onerous audit demands. To centralize collaboration, capture decision history, and automate tracking, Partner4Work selected CounselLink’s contract management platform to replace Word‑based edits, buried email threads, and scattered shared drives.

Using CounselLink, Partner4Work standardized workflows, introduced real‑time collaboration and audit trails, and automated milestone and task tracking—cutting average contract finalization from three months to three weeks (77% faster) and reducing RFP turnaround from six weeks to two (66% faster). The platform also produced reliable reports for audits, eliminated “wild goose chase” searches, and saved an estimated 100 staff hours per month while improving transparency and responsiveness across teams.
