Picture this:

It’s Monday morning.

You walk into your office and notice a preneed contract sitting on your desk.

You take a closer look and realize it’s the contract that was supposed to be finalized on Friday.

And not only is the contract not finalized, but coffee spilled all over the first page, another page is missing, and you still don’t have the signatures you need.

Sound familiar?

Paper contracts are prone to delays, errors, and disorganization. While funeral directors have relied on them for decades, they may not be the most effective option.

Keep reading to learn 3 ways paper contracts are slowing you down and discover a better solution.

1. Mistakes and errors

Every preneed professional understands the frustration of filing a contract for a family only to discover a mistake. But unfortunately, this happens far too often when dealing with paper contracts.

Paper contracts have the potential to have more errors, such as miscalculations, missing information, or illegible handwriting. And these errors lead to frustration for you and the families you serve.

While digital contracts are a step in the right direction, preneed contract sales software can help you be even more accurate.

Preneed contract sales software, like DIGicon, is designed to identify errors and ensure accuracy. It can even help you automate calculations and flag missing information. DIGicon also has state-specific forms and rules to keep the contract in compliance every step of the way.

When you use contract software, you can be confident that your preneed contracts will be accurate from start to finish.

2. Processing delays

The journey to finalizing a paper contract can be tedious.

First, you have to print the contract. Then, you have to fill out the contract (hope you don’t make any mistakes), get all the necessary signatures, and finally, mail or fax the contract. This process not only delays contract approval but also delays your payout.

There’s a better way.

With preneed contract sales software, processing preneed contracts is easier than ever.

Software can help you streamline your process by reducing the time you spend on data entry as well as helping you get forms signed faster and finalize contracts sooner. Plus, by eliminating processing delays, contract software can even help you get paid sooner.

3. Inefficient organization

Let’s say you’ve finalized a preneed contract and want to look it up. What sounds easier: sifting through filing cabinets, folders, and stacks of paperwork or using a search function in software and finding it in an instant?

With preneed contract sales software, all of your documents are organized and easily accessible.

Converting stacks of paper into digital documents will help you save on paper, desk space, and more importantly, time. Plus, finding contracts is easy when you have a digital filing cabinet to store everything!

Software to simplify your process.

Paper contracts slow you down at every turn – from inefficient organization and contract errors to delayed approvals and payouts.

With DIGicon, you can leave these challenges behind.
