"We have an initiative underway to eliminate the lengthy, manual tasks around our long-form oil contracts. Additionally, due to the dramatic volume growth in our business, job satisfaction was also decreasing, which we needed to address. We are working with ClearDox to automate the three-way matching and reconciliation of these complex documents. This has allowed us to speed up the processing of the documents and just focus on exception handling, while also delivering greater data accuracy with a digital single source of truth. The implementation was minimally disturbing to our existing workflows, which accelerated adoption across the team."

Contract Administrator, Processing

"The constant need for precision on tight deadlines is stressful. Every contract is a high-stakes puzzle, and a single misstep could have huge consequences. But we’ve only got so many hands and so many hours in the day. I wish I had a faster way to make sure everything is correct."

Contract Administrator (Processing)

"I’m always trying to find better ways to do things; new processes or tools that will get us the accuracy and speed we need to keep up in this fast-moving market. How do we jump ahead and leverage AI to get the data we need quickly? And once we had that data, can we automate the reconciliation so teams can save their time for the really big issues?"

Manager, Processing

Risk and Compliance Officer

"The fine line between regulatory compliance and potential penalties keeps me up at night. Balancing trade amounts, certification validity, and intricate regulations is a constant challenge and a relentless fear. I need AI to eliminate the manual entry of data and the errors we are continuously running up against."

Head of Operations

"My mission is clear: to scale, expand, and automate. The closer we can get to real-time data and straight-through processes, the better positioned we’ll be to take advantage of opportunities. But I don’t want to sacrifice accuracy for speed — not with these stakes. How can we streamline in the smartest way possible?"
