Case Study: IONITY achieves faster contract creation and a streamlined legal workflow with Summize

IONITY partnered with Summize to create a front door to legal within Microsoft Teams, resulting in a streamlined contract lifecycle

IONITY, a European builder and operator of high-power electric vehicle charging networks, faced the challenge of managing contracts efficiently across 24 countries while reducing the administrative burden on its legal team. They sought an all-in-one contract lifecycle management solution to empower non-legal staff to self-serve on contractual tasks. To address this, they turned to Summize for its solution.

Summize implemented its platform with a focus on its Microsoft Teams integration, creating a centralized legal front door for users. This allowed business teams to create their own contracts using bespoke templates and manage reviews directly within their existing workflow. The results were significant, with a successful rollout to 150 users in just five weeks—less than half the expected implementation time. The solution dramatically sped up internal processes, freed the legal team to focus on high-value work, and created a centralized repository for all contracts.
