Case Study: Spring Branch ISD saves $4M and accelerates vendor contracts from weeks to days with DocuSign

Spring Branch Independent School District Streamlines Vendor Contracting with the DocuSign Agreement Cloud

Spring Branch Independent School District, a greater Houston district serving 35,000 students across 46 campuses and issuing 400+ RFPs a year, faced slow, paper-driven contracting that caused poor visibility, maverick spending and long turnaround times when Rick Gay became director of procurement.

By implementing an eBid workflow with DocuSign eSignature and Contract Lifecycle Management—using templated agreements, automated reminders and Bulk Send—the district moved vendor contracting from weeks to days (80% of contracts completed in under 2 days), processed 1,200+ agreements in three months, and saved $4M through digital procurement while centralizing and professionalizing the contracting process.
