Bulk Send
Send identical proposal packets to multiple recipients or sites with individualized data merges, reducing repetitive tasks when onboarding multiple investigators or vendors.
A proposal pack wizard reduces manual formatting and routing work, enforces consistent clauses across documents, and provides structured audit records that support regulatory oversight and internal governance.
A Clinical Project Manager uses the wizard to assemble study sponsorship proposals, attach protocol appendices, and route documents for approvals. They rely on template controls and signer sequencing to ensure site contracts include required indemnity and data handling clauses and to maintain a consolidated audit trail for inspections.
A Regulatory Affairs Lead configures conditional content blocks and mandatory disclosures, reviews assembled submissions, and verifies that signatures and timestamps meet regulatory requirements. They use embedded audit logs and identity verification features to support submission integrity and inspection readiness.
Clinical operations, regulatory affairs, procurement, and commercial contracting teams use this tool to standardize proposals and capture validated approvals.
Smaller legal teams and third-party vendors also adopt the wizard to speed reviews while maintaining consistent audit trails and access controls.
