DONE
Creating and modifying business contracts is often a long and drawn out process for both parties. Consider some of the main areas in which it is currently inefficient:
- Creating Contracts: Negotiations between the buyer and the seller are often done through email which slows down communication and makes it difficult to view and edit contract changes.
- Collaborating on Contracts: The individual writing the contract needs internal approval before making changes to it, resulting in a less efficient negotiation process.
- Modifying Contracts: Even after the contract is created and signed, it may still need some modifications. For example, a worker may find a flaw in an existing contract. The worker may not have a good channel to report the flaw, and even if they do, the process for modification is often as cumbersome as the negotiation process.
Our challenge is to design a digital app that will improve the current process by allowing for the simple creation, collaboration, and modification of contracts.
Deliverables
Your task is to design a digital app that will improve the process of creating, collaborating, and modifying contracts. We don't expect a fully built out app, but rather creative visuals/ideas for how a digital app would work.
Your app design should include the following:
- Mock-ups, sketches, etc. of visual screens
- Ability to create an agreement with at least three separate parts to the agreement (ie: price, delivery, insurance requirements)
- Channels for streamlined approval of contracts
- Channels for communicating flaws in the contract
- An easy way to make changes to a contract via the app
Criteria:
Our ideal app will be very intuitive to use! The key idea is to make all parts of the contract process easier for those involved.
