Upload a contract instead of retyping it

Stack of printed contracts

Transferring contracts is the most tedious part of switching systems. In Doory you upload the contract PDF and Doory extracts the fields: parties, spaces, term, notice period, indexation. From that comes a proposal for a company and a lease, which you review before it becomes final.

What happens now when you switch

Someone puts two screens side by side. On the left the PDF, on the right an input form. Forty contracts, fifteen fields per contract, so six hundred rounds of retyping, with the risk of a typo in exactly the field that later produces an invoice. That is why switching often takes months, and it is work that leaves you with nothing.

How the extraction works

You upload the PDF. Doory reads the document and proposes the fields: which parties, which spaces, which start date and end date, which notice period, which indexation clause. For each field you see what was found and where in the document it was, so you don't have to rely on gut feeling.

Then comes the review step. If the company is already in your records, Doory links the contract to it. If the company doesn't exist yet, Doory proposes creating it. Fields that are not in the contract stay empty, and visibly so. Doory does not make up a three-month notice period because that is common.

The lease only exists once you approve it. If you want to roll it back after all, you can: the upload is kept in the import workspace and the import can be repeated.

What to check carefully yourself

The dates and the clauses. A misread end date carries through into your renewal tracking, and you only notice a missed break option when the tenant uses it. The extraction takes over the typing, not the responsibility. Count on about five minutes of checking per contract instead of fifteen minutes of data entry.

Why this fits with the rest

Because in Doory the contract is a record, not an attachment. The extraction fills that record, and from then on the rest follows: invoice lines, occupancy, renewal tracking. The signed document stays attached to it, so in a dispute you can always go back to what was signed.
