t.aizawa

With the integration of GMO Sign and Microsoft Excel, information from GMO Sign is automatically reflected in Microsoft Excel once a contract is completed.
By combining GMO Sign, which allows for easy electronic signing of contracts, with Microsoft Excel, which excels in data management, you can achieve automatic updates of contract information and real-time progress tracking. Furthermore, centralizing data enables accurate analysis.
This article introduces the specific benefits and methods of integrating GMO Sign with Microsoft Excel.

Benefits of Integrating GMO Sign with Microsoft Excel

Benefit 1: Reduction of Human Error Risk

Once a contract is completed with GMO Sign, the information can be automatically reflected in Microsoft Excel. This eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing the risk of human error.
For example, once a contract is signed, the contract date and signer information are automatically entered into specified cells in Microsoft Excel, facilitating smooth contract management and contributing to operational efficiency and error prevention.

Benefit 2: Easy Data Analysis and Report Creation

By integrating GMO Sign with Microsoft Excel, you can consolidate contract information.
This allows you to utilize the information from GMO Sign and the analytical capabilities of Microsoft Excel to visualize contract trends and performance, or automatically generate periodic reports. For instance, by graphing the trends in the number of contracts or changes in contract amounts, you can quickly obtain the information necessary for decision-making.
