Vector Holdings Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Miwako Iwai), which operates the cloud-based electronic contract service "VectorSign," implemented a reminder function on Thursday, June 11, 2026, that allows users to freely set notification dates, recipients, and messages for each stored document.
In recent years, the widespread adoption of electronic contracts has significantly advanced the digitalization of contract execution processes. According to a survey by the Digital Agency, the introduction of electronic contracts is expected to result in cost savings of approximately 1.7 trillion yen annually across Japan (※1), and the utilization of electronic contracts by companies is anticipated to increase further.
Amidst this trend, the importance of post-contract execution operational management is also growing. Even if contract deadlines are known, if subsequent necessary actions are not shared among stakeholders, it can lead to missed renewals, overlooked cancellation deadlines, or delayed responses.
VectorSign has implemented a reminder function that allows users to freely set notification dates, recipients, and messages to support the management of stored documents, including contracts, invoices, purchase orders, and internal regulations.
This function was developed based on customer feedback, such as "I want to be aware of contract renewal periods in advance" and "I want to be notified so I don't forget important deadlines or tasks."

■ Notifying "Next Actions," Not Just "Deadlines"
Conventional reminder functions typically notify users of contract deadlines or renewal periods.
VectorSign's reminder function allows for notifications that include "who" should do "what" for each stored document.
For example:
- "Please confirm with the sales department whether to renew the contract with XX Co., Ltd."
- "Please submit the cancellation request by Month Day."
- "Begin reviewing the regulations for the next fiscal year."
- "Initiate internal approval process to secure budget."
- "Start the ordering procedure for the following month."
By specifically notifying the next action, this feature streamlines operations and enables management that is not dependent on individual staff members.
