Case Study: Softonic executes NDAs roughly 5x faster with LinkSquares Finalize
Key results
The challenge
Softonic, a software discovery platform based in Barcelona, was undergoing a company-wide digital transformation. Its contracting process was managed via email and tools like Slack, making it manual and dependent on individuals. With a high volume of agreements, global operations across 17 countries, and rapid growth, the lean finance-and-legal team of eight faced a process bottleneck in legal.
The solution
Softonic deployed LinkSquares to manage the entire contract process from creation to signature, with pre-built templates in Finalize that let sales reps execute NDAs themselves. Once finalized, contracts are centralized in LinkSquares Analyze, and AI Smart Values and Tags surface the clauses that matter without reading full agreements.
“Now, with pre-built templates in Finalize, sales reps can execute NDAs themselves, spending on average 5 times less executing agreements.”

The results, in context
According to the story, NDAs that previously took three to four full business days can now be executed by sales reps themselves, spending on average five times less time executing agreements. Centralizing contracts across the company's 17 countries in Analyze reduced the effort of searching across drives and email, and the CFO reports legal is now seen as a strategic business partner.
