Case Study: Kloeckner Metals UK speeds up contract lifecycles with Summize

Kloeckner Metals partnered with Summize to create a legal front door, reducing the length of the entire contract lifecycle to benefit the whole business

Kloeckner Metals UK, the UK division of a major international steel distributor, faced a challenge in managing its high volume of repetitive legal requests and contracts. This manual process was slowing down their aggressive growth strategy and preventing the legal team from focusing on more strategic work. To address this, they partnered with Summize to digitalize their contract lifecycle and create a more efficient legal front door.

The solution from Summize involved integrating its software directly into Microsoft Teams, a platform already used by Kloeckner. This allowed business users to automatically generate contracts using bespoke legal templates, drastically speeding up the process. The implementation empowered users, shortened the contract lifecycle, and freed the legal team to become strategic partners. Kloeckner reported that they can now execute contracts quicker than ever before, improving internal workflows and supporting the company's broader digital transformation goals.
