Buyers Guide

Last Updated: March 22, 2021

If you run a business, you must be familiar with documents such as invoices, contract forms, employment agreements, and financial reports. You probably have a document template that includes branding elements such as your company logo and color as well as relevant data fields. And you most likely create these documents in bulk.

That said, you must also be aware how scattered the document generation process can get. You can end up using multiple software tools for creating, editing, compiling, and sharing documents. The process is time-consuming, and it’s also a task to trace and fix errors.

One way to save time and worry is using document generation software. The software can help you generate documents in bulk—numbers can go up to hundreds or thousands—and eliminate the need to switch between multiple tools.

A wide range of software options is available on the market, and choosing the one that best meets your needs and budget is important. This guide will help you understand the different factors you must consider when shortlisting a document generation solution.

Here's what we'll cover:

What is document generation software?

Document generation software is a software tool that helps create documents such as contracts and invoices in bulk quantities. It offers a single centralized platform for document creation, editing, sharing, and versioning. Most tools support document generation in various formats such as PDF, DOC, and HTML.

Common features of document generation software

Here are some common features of a document generation tool:

Batch document processing

Generate multiple documents at a time, even as many as a thousand. Share the documents with end users via communication channels such as email.

Collaboration

Collaborate with stakeholders in real time. Allow them to add comments to the documents and edit them simultaneously.

Digital signature

Add digital signatures to documents. Create a list of signatories, along with their email addresses, and collect their digital signatures. Vendors offer the feature as part of their tool or via integration with third-party electronic signature software.

Interaction tracking

Add trackable document links for each recipient or recipient group. The links let you track how customers interact with your documents, i.e., which links they've clicked on.

Multiple output formats

Generate, save, and export documents in multiple formats such as PDF, HTML, DOC, and RTF. Some solutions also let you generate the same document in multiple formats simultaneously.

Templates

Create customized document templates that have your company’s logo, color, headers, graphics, etc. You can also use built-in templates and save them for future usage.

What type of buyer are you?

These are the two common buyer categories for document creation software:

  • Buyers looking for industry-specific software: Buyers from industries such as legal services, insurance, and telecommunication need to create templated documents such as legal contracts, insurance policies, and telephone bills in bulk. They should opt for a tool that offers predesigned templates for documents commonly used in their industry of operation. For example, a legal document generation tool has predesigned templates for documents approved by bar associations or legal publishers.
  • Buyers looking for industry-independent software: These buyers don’t need a tool that caters to a specific industry. Instead, they prefer creating their own customized templates and would like to go for tools that are known as all-in-one or industry-independent solutions. These buyers usually include industry-agnostic IT companies and conglomerates.

Benefits of document generation software

Here are the key benefits of document automation software for your business:

  • Improved efficiency: Document generation software helps improve process efficiency by automating repetitive tasks such as copying a template across documents, inserting graphics, and adding signatures. This reduces the overall time required to create a document as well as the chances of human error.
  • Reduced costs:Document generation software offers features such as batch document production and predefined templates that help create documents in bulk. You don’t have to maintain dedicated resources for overseeing or auditing documents or invest in multiple software tools, which leads to better cost savings.

Key considerations

When selecting a document generation tool for your business, keep the following points in mind:

  • Service record of the vendor: You may be tempted to buy a tool that offers the features you need in your desired price range, but there’s more to the picture. Don’t forget to run a background check to ensure the provider has a good track record. Consult someone who has already used the tool, read customer testimonials on the vendor’s website, or read user reviews on third-party websites such as ours.
  • Pricing options: The price of the software you’ve selected may change as your business expands and you need more features. Confirm software upgrade charges with the vendor and ensure it’s a price you’re comfortable with. If you don’t check this early on, you may have to switch vendors due to higher-than-expected costs, which could lead to potential loss of data and additional employee training.
