WHERE SIGI GOES FURTHER

Six things PandaDoc doesn’t do out of the box

Where SIGI creates deeper workflow continuity beyond document creation. 

Connected to your entire operation

SIGI lives inside WorksBuddy alongside CRM, tasks, invoicing, and project management, so signed contracts trigger the next business action automatically.

AI that reads contracts before you sign

Clause intelligence, missing clause detection, and risk scoring protect teams before a document ever reaches the signer.

Stalled deals surface automatically

Signing behaviour analysis predicts completion likelihood and flags at risk agreements before they lapse.

Bulk upload without bottlenecks

Upload up to 20 documents in one flow with individual signer logic and expiry controls per file.

Template version control

Every template edit moves through an approval workflow, ensuring version safe document governance.

One platform, not five tools

Unlike PandaDoc’s document first model, SIGI connects signing to CRM, billing, projects, and automation natively.

REAL CUSTOMER OUTCOMES

How teams perform after moving from PandaDoc

From sales teams closing faster to agencies automating contract to project workflows: real users, real outcomes.

We were on PandaDoc for two years. What justified the switch was SIGI’s AI risk analysis catching a missing liability clause in a £40k contract before it went out.
