## Background of the Release
Contract operations are critical business activities that involve multiple departments such as on-site departments, legal departments, and accounting departments. However, because contracts, approval requests, invoices, and deadline information are managed in separate systems or ledgers, it is not uncommon for cross-departmental confirmations, data transfers, and inquiry responses to take a significant amount of time.
For on-site personnel, confirming the latest templates, manually entering data into approval requests and ledgers, and managing deadlines after contract execution are burdens. For legal personnel, challenges include drafting contracts, personification of past contract knowledge, responding to inquiries from the field, and grasping the overall picture of contractual relationships, including memorandums and multiple contracts. Furthermore, for accounting personnel, verifying contracts that form the basis of invoices and confirming unreceived invoices are time-consuming tasks.
To address these issues, Bakuraku will release "Bakuraku Contract Management," which supports a broader range of back-office operation automation by seamlessly linking contract information with existing functions such as approval requests and expense management.
AI agents will assist in searching, confirming, and managing information related to contracts, enabling a work style that allows employees to focus on more essential tasks.
