synergist.io is used by procurement departments, commercial teams and alternative legal service providers to execute high-volumes of recurring contracts with minimal effort. We provide a centralised and transparent workflow that is optimised for automating the negotiation of contract terms -- the most tedious and unpredictable step in the process. Users can manage increasing volumes of contracts required to onboard suppliers or close new business, all with minimal involvement from legal. They’re guided step-by-step through the process and are empowered to negotiate where necessary, within safe boundaries and using terms that have been pre-approved by their legal team.
