Glider Launches At Disrupt NY With SaaS That Automates Approving And Signing Contracts, Adds Intelligence To Deal Flow –
Summary
At Disrupt NY 2013, Glider unveiled its SaaS for corporate teams to bring structure, clarity and reporting to the contract process much like Salesforce.com did for the sales funnel. The visual analytics tool should help shed light on the number of contracts closed, those outstanding and a host of other metrics to help executives get a better view of deal flow. The service is meant to replace the massive “reply all” email thread and the Excel spreadsheets that have dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of rows listing the tasks necessary to complete a deal. Co-Founder Eli Rubel said Glider, which took about four months to build, targets customers who have a deeper deal flow and need a better picture to help prepare for the end-of-quarter reporting to management or investors. They are still working through the cost, but it will most likely charge a monthly fee for unlimited users and additionally based on the number of contracts the company is processing.
