Instead of having to look for a certain pattern or group of words , our analytics on the platform can actually dig through all those parts and pieces and pull them up on the supplier .” This immediacy is compounded by the platform ’ s ability to learn and utilise new information , enabling clients to leverage a flexible system that can be tailored to their unique requirements . “ And we ’ re constantly looking for the next new thing ,” Brock adds , “ The thing that might help give us a better take on the analytics , the thing that might help us report that information better or more quickly .” Seal is currently developing a solution that can assess and report the level of risk in a contract , offering immediate insight for contracts that require additional assessment . “ We find our clients are chomping at the bit to get their hands on this . It ’ s something that will help them to improve their own processes , and repurpose their staff so they ’ re focusing their interest or their review time on those risky positions .”
With automation comes concerns about the replacement of human staff with efficient digital equivalents , particularly where the increasingly powerful and capable AI is concerned .

“ Instead of hiring 10 people to extract information from your contracts , you can simply load them into Seal and get that same level of review and that same level of insight in hours as opposed to weeks ”
