Drawloop Blog

A quick thank you to all of the Drawloop users from around the world. The continued growth of our DDP volume for new and existing customers reflects the need for businesses to automate document creation. We have enabled our customers to quickly respond, capture and close opportunities through the automation of sales contracts, proposal, quotes and virtually any document package required to sell or service a product.

What do you need to get started? Just your documents, that’s it!

Our on-demand document automation service allows you to DDP Enable the same Microsoft Office documents you have used for years. There are no templates or file conversions required. You do not need programming experience to create Dynamic Document Packages. Our document technology is built on a proven platform utilized by enterprise organizations for years.

We are pleased to add Greenlight Titles, Global Exchange and Search Strategies to our growing customer base who have recognized the significant cost savings and increased productivity generated through automating document creation with Drawloop.

Most every business is evaluating how to cut costs and do more with less. One of our integration partners, DocuSign, recently addressed plans for FedEx and UPS to dramatically increase shipping rates in 2009.

With shipping costs already adding dramatically to operational costs, rate increases are the last thing anyone needs right now. With DocuSign’s electronic contract execution and electronic signature services, you have an alternative to courier services that slash operating costs while creating a more efficient and convenient contract process. The ability to deliver documents for signature electronically can reduce your shipping and delivery costs by 80%.

DOCUMENT DELIVERY:

Solution: Send your contracts for electronic signature and eliminate your shipping expenses.

DOCUMENT CREATION:

Solution: Automate document creation with Drawloop and reduce your expenses associated with customizing documents.

The solution is simple . . . automate document creation and you will reduce costs. Many companies are not aware that there is a more efficient way to create customized documents. Document creation can be one of the more expensive and labor intensive business tasks. The costs associated are often ignored and/or never evaluated. This is often “chalked up” as another business requirement with no viable alternative to help reduce costs and improve productivity. Sales reps and other critical team members often spend hours each day customizing the documents required to respond to customers. This expense can often be 3 to 10 times more expensive than your shipping and delivery costs.

Let Drawloop help your company start thinking about automating document creation. It will save real dollars, free up valuable time, and empower your company to do more with less! We encourage you to take a look at our document automation services and add document automation as one of your priorities for 2009.

We are proud to finally announce three new enhancements for LOOP DDP, our document automation service.

New Editions

In addition to our free Standard edition, we now offer expanded services and functionality to Premier and Enterprise users. Some of the features include: (i) Unlimited DDPs, (ii) Private DDPs, (iii) SSO / API Deployment, and (iv) Private-Labeled Mini Site.

Embed

Our new embed with Microsoft Silverlight or HTML allows companies to automate document creation anywhere on the Web. With LOOP DDP, you can customize, control and manage document creation at the enterprise level for all users. You can dynamically customize and package any combination of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files into a single file. This new PDF file can then be delivered through virtually any web service, like electronic signatures. LOOP DDP with Silverlight or HTML makes implementation fast and easy. The automated dynamic document package (DDP) can run from LOOP Exchange, from within your website or from your blog using the embed code.

Mini Site

Premier and Enterprise users can now customize and deploy a private labeled website or “Mini Site” for their DDPs. You can deploy Public, Public – Unlisted and Private DDPs for your entire organization on a custom and password protected site with a unique URL.

For an example of a Mini Site, please visit http://acme.drawloop.com to see how you can deploy dynamic document packages (DDPs) on your own custom website.

All of this and more is available on LOOP DDP.

What do you need? Just your documents, that’s it! Our on-demand document automation service allows you to work with the same Microsoft Office documents you have used for years. There are no templates or file conversions required.

We wanted to share some quick thoughts on why our customers have utilized our on-demand services to automate document creation. On LOOP Exchange, you can automate document creation for your entire organization. You can quickly web-enable the same Microsoft Office files you have been using in your business for years.

Web-Enable Your Documents
You can quickly convert all of the Microsoft Office files your organization has been using for years and deliver them on-demand. Instead of having your sales and service reps download and customize documents, you can web-enable the documents allowing a sales rep to complete inputs on a web form and get back a secure and customized file . . . combining any combination of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and PDF files.

Control
Are your files exposed to sales reps within your organization? With the Exchange, you can deliver a web service for users to generate documents rather than losing control and exposing your core documents.

Compliance
On the Exchange, your organization can deliver a compliant process for delivering mass customization and control over all of your document creation through various sales and product channels.

Efficiency
Is your sales team wasting time customizing the documents required to close and service business? If you are like our customers, the answer was yes before Drawloop. Automating document creation allows your sales team to focus on managing leads and following up on opportunities rather than wasting sales time customizing documents.

Integration
By automating document creation, you can then incorporate our web-service with other work flows and internal systems. With LOOP API, you can deploy our document creation services with virtually any other web service or on-demand platform, like e-signatures from EchoSign.

Register today and start automating document creation on LOOP Exchange.

We wanted to share a recent review from one of our LOOPlus customers, Aurora Lifetools, on Salesforce.com. We continue to expand our salesforce.com users while refining our document automation services. If you use salesforce.com, we encourage you to install our free trial and begin automating document creation for your entire team.

Killer App
01/23/08 by Drew Hyde, Partner

Aurora Lifetools provides Social Security Disability Representation nationwide. LOOPlus is the killer application we have been looking for. It reduced our time in contract preparation by almost 90%. The staff at Drawloop is unbelievable, support, sales, billing – just phenomenal. This one app alone saves us enough to pay our salesforce subscription. The integration with EchoSign is flawless and simple and leaves you wondering how you ever did anything the old way. We will be implementing a solution that auto-creates a complete docket and related exhibits and records, and annotated correspondence this spring. We have looked, and looked and cannot find another product that will do this either in salesforce or standalone for under $20,000. What more is there to say, great product, great service. Work with Drawloop, they make money, you make money, the cool factor is unbelievable – everyone is happy.
