Abstract centralizes contract management with Lexion, achieving an estimated $230,000 financial impact

The problem

Abstract's contracts were scattered across Dropbox, Salesforce, DocuSign, and individual email inboxes with no centralized repository, leading to poor visibility, missed renewal alerts, time-consuming searches, and a slow and expensive diligence process.
