Case Study: Democracy International achieves 50% faster contract turnaround and zero contract errors with Outlaw

Democracy International Centralizes their Distributed Workforce by Streamlining Contract Workflows

Democracy International, a 51–250 person international development organization based in Bethesda, MD, was struggling with an unsustainable, manual contracting process across a largely distributed workforce—slow approvals, inconsistent templates and time-zone delays. To centralize and standardize contracting, they turned to Outlaw’s cloud-based contract platform, using features such as Draft template management and Checkpoints.

Outlaw implemented triggered approvals, dashboard audit logs, conditional-logic templates and batch auto-generation so teams could auto-generate, customize and track contracts from anywhere. The result: a 50% faster closing rate, 100% acceleration in batch auto-generation, zero contract errors, and roughly half a day saved per contract for Democracy International.
