EmilianoQ: I am a lawyer, I work with many documents and it seems like an interesting tool.
I have some questions.
I work with organizations and individuals. Therefore you would need a company panel with workers. For example: The company acme has 4 pending documents from 3 workers. Send mail to the worker. I think that option is not available and it is important.
Another option that I don't see is to make the form public. I would like to be able to embed the form in other applications.
Finally I have documents such as authorizations that are valid for 3-6-9 months. It would be important for us to be able to generate an alarm to ask for documents to be updated.
One thing I don't like is: Where it says "Your Contact" there should be an additional text field to put a description and hyperlink to domain and agenda.
I also don't like the location of the help center. It should be a space for us and not for superdocu. I find it more interesting to put it at the bottom of the page.
I see utility in the tool. I also need it in the Spanish language.

May 14, 2024A: Hi Emiliano,
Thanks a bunch for your feedback, and apologies for the late reply.
* We have other companies using Superdocu with similar use cases as you, and as of now, there is only one level of depth in the tool: contacts. You can either add a custom tag for each company worker you invite on the platform, or do like our current customers: what they do is "name" an admin at the organizations they work with, and make sure that person fills in the info for their workers.
* Public forms are coming in the next few weeks. This is our #1 priority (with a UI revamp), because we've been asked for it... a lot!
* Embedding the form in other apps should be possible later on, but it has its own technical challenges and we need to design it so that it doesn't look half-baked. Should take a bit more time although this is something we'll do for sure.
* For expiring documents, you can already do it from Superdocu: when you request a document, you can precise if it expires and either give a timeframe (1-3-6-9-12-18-24 months) or add an expiration date. The contact will receive reminders one or two weeks before expiration, and follow-ups afterwards if they havn't updated their document with a valid one.
* We will add more personalization features to the portal (eg. domain, description, agenda) in the coming weeks, and the possibility to remove Superdocu altogether. I can keep you updated on this!
* Added your vote for Spanish!
Let me know if you need more explanation
Have a great Easter :)
This is a question for both Emiliano and Superdocu team…
Emiliano, can you take a look at DocProo. AppSumo and let me know if it’s sounds like a good option to use for contracts. They’re apparently built by lawyers for general purposes based on request. Any thoughts on that type of service seems like a great value for small business?
And for Superdocu : let’s say I take a sample contract and I create a form in my active account they use a signature service - can you integrate with Crove? I would like that any changes they make in Superdocu will appear in my Crove account.
Thanks

Hi SonGoku77,
I've discovered Crove yesterday, but through our Zapier integration you can make sure to update Crove fields when a form is filled in Superdocu.
Hope that helps!

I know DocPro in a basic way. They are two different things. Very different.
DocPro is not for lawyers. It's for those looking for a gallery of frequent contracts. I don't think any gallery offers exactly what a firm needs. But it's cheaper than a consultation. In that sense, if you have some legal it's a savings. It's not a substitute for a lawyer. Maybe for small money businesses.
SuperDocu is something else. I have more advanced forms. And even with Pabbly or others like Stackby, startinfinity was performing at a great level. What I like is the ease of use for remembering to send. I do miss an integration with OneDrive, Pcloud or Google. Since I need to have everything in the same place.
It's not a signing tool. It is something else.
For all companies it solves the problem : " I didn't do it because I didn't have the documents". If a customer pays, but does not deliver his documents. It's his problem, not mine.
I would like to see improvements like language. But for a lawyer, accountant, big company etc. This app is a no-brainer. I never think it will be gigantic in features, but it should be gigantic in integrations. I hope it follows that path and not the one of wanting to do everything

@SonGoku77, we're looking into integrating Pabbly but this is not our top priority right now, so I won't be able to share a timeline with you there.
+1 for Crove
Hi! Will y’all be looking into a Pabbly integration? Crove is on Pabbly I believe this will help this be a better buy for a lot of Sumoling who use Pabbly like myself.
Oh yes I know they’re different but I had to ask as it’s perfect to find a lawyer who’s familiar with DocPro…
I’ve seen someone say they take the same documents and give them to their legal person and have them modify it to save costs.

I think this is not the thread.
SuperDocu allows you to save costs in collecting documents. Whether these documents are written by you, a lawyer or taken from a third tool is a decision of the company.
I like Docpro, I also like Sparka legal. Both have passed through Appsumo. But if you look at the offers, they all always advise that a professional check for each specific case. I am from Spain. DocPro is intended for the US. And as you know, it is a very peculiar country in legal matters. Sparka focuses on British Law. And there are others on the market, depending on the country. I even seem to remember that I saw an offer for India, here.
Neither is better or worse. Almost all the tools purchased here by me are applied to offices. Very powerful tools have come out. They all have something.
No tool replaces a lawyer, a marketing agency, a graphic designer... But they save time.
I hope my opinion serves you.
I am a lawyer. This is not legal advice (I am not your lawyer). So far as I know this is an anonymous posting / not intended to be advertising my services.
I like Emiliano's statement: "No tool replaces a lawyer, a marketing agency, a graphic designer".
When someone gives me a form, and says make it fit, it's sometimes like when a you go to a carpenter or architect etc and say, build a house exactly like this right here for me. This ignores the zoning, safety codes, foundation / drainage issues, etc. The carpenter or architect might be able to do it, but you also might have saved a ton of money if you used the carpenter's or architect's own local knowledge or standard designs, etc.
The irony is that typically people's strategies to try to save money using "parts" end up costing them either a much higher level of RISK OF FUTURE PROBLEMS (which they don't know they don't know) and sometimes a less experienced attorney / craftsman will try to help them and put them at far more risk than necessary. Good example is pre-made "do it yourself" living trust. Just like your cell phone technology changes every 3 years or so, so do areas of law. It's cheap or free templates aren't regularly updated or going to give you warnings of gray areas etc... So, you did your will or living trust yourself. You saved thousands of dollars!
Even assuming you regularly updated this document like a paid professional would remind you to do: AFTER you die, others you intended to benefit may be stuck paying several thousand more than if you had a paid a reputable, local, licensed, bonded / insured professional to not just draft but also follow local rules, laws, formalities and understandings not mentioned in the free template you used. At times, due to probate / court fees etc, whatever you intended to do, may be totally undone.
