🚀 Product Update: Document Relationships and Entities
Docsum’s July 2025 product update introduces Document Relationships and Entity Management, transforming contract lifecycle management for legal, finance, and operations teams in the United States and worldwide. With Document Relationships, users can explicitly link related contracts—including Master Service Agreements (MSAs), Order Forms, Amendments, Renewals, and Terminations—creating a connected contract repository that makes it easy to answer questions like “Is this agreement still active?” or “Which documents are tied to this MSA?” The new Entity Management feature organizes all counterparty data, such as legal names, signers, addresses, and entity types (Vendor, Customer, Internal), allowing businesses to search, filter, and report on every agreement tied to a specific partner. By centralizing contract and counterparty tracking, Docsum reduces risk, streamlines compliance, and gives companies a single source of truth for audit-ready, modern contract management.
