Customer stories

What our customers say about Inhubber

cov Automatic deadline monitoring is a real game changer for us. We used to manage deadlines manually in Excel spreadsheets, which was naturally error-prone. Now Inhuber ensures that we are notified in a timely manner about upcoming termination periods. This has already saved us from unnecessary costs.
cov After evaluating several software solutions, we chose Inhubber – not only because it offers a web-based solution that’s accessible from anywhere, but also because of the flexibility in structuring contracts. We wanted the option of storing our contracts in clearly structured categories and areas that perfectly fit our organization.
cov Inhubber has fundamentally changed the way we handle our contracts by providing a user-friendly and efficient platform that ensures complete transparency. This change has led to significant time savings, particularly through improved organization and accessibility of data. In the financial sector, it is especially useful as it helps keep track of costs and deadlines, making it an essential tool for our sustainable growth.
cov Thanks to Inhubber, it is now much easier and faster to rent out apartments, and I can even rent them out across the country without having to be there.
cov We missed cancellation deadlines several times simply because no one remembered that the contract still existed and should be terminated. This led to unnecessary costs that we wanted to avoid.
cov The advantages I see with Inhubber are, firstly, usability, meaning it’s easy to use for our team members and business partners. The second major advantage I see with Inhubber is the whole issue of data security, data availability, and more.

FAQ

FAQs zu Inhubber vs Docusign
What is the main difference between Inhubber and d.velop?

Inhubber is a specialized contract lifecycle management platform designed to manage, analyze, monitor, and control contracts throughout their entire lifecycle.

d.velop is broader in scope and is primarily known as a document management and ECM platform. It also offers dedicated contract management functionality through d.velop contracts.

Is Inhubber a good alternative to d.velop for contract management?

Yes. Inhubber is particularly suitable for companies looking for a dedicated contract management solution rather than a broader DMS or ECM environment.

It brings contract data, deadlines, workflows, AI-powered analysis, responsibilities, and digital signatures together in one platform.

Is d.velop a DMS or a contract management system?

d.velop is primarily a document management and ECM platform. For contract management, it offers d.velop contracts as a dedicated solution.

This makes d.velop a broader option for organizations that want to manage many different document types, while Inhubber focuses specifically on contract processes.

Which solution is better for managing contract deadlines and renewals?

Both platforms can support contract deadlines and important dates.

Inhubber is built specifically around contract processes, including deadlines, renewals, termination dates, responsibilities, and automated reminders. With d.velop, these functions are available through its contract management offering and related workflows.

Does d.velop offer AI-powered contract analysis?

Yes. d.velop provides AI functionality for documents and contracts, including metadata recognition and contract-related analysis.

Inhubber also uses AI specifically for contract analysis, data extraction, and identifying relevant contract information and risks.

Do Inhubber and d.velop support electronic signatures?

Yes. Both solutions support digital signing processes.

Inhubber integrates electronic signatures directly into contract workflows, while d.velop provides signing capabilities through d.velop sign.

Do you need d.velop documents to use d.velop contracts?

For some d.velop contracts offerings, d.velop documents is part of the required platform setup. This can make the overall solution broader than a standalone contract management tool.

Companies should therefore compare not only license prices, but also platform requirements, implementation effort, and additional components.

Is Inhubber easier to implement than d.velop?

That depends on the scope of the project.

Inhubber is focused specifically on contract management, which can make implementation more targeted. d.velop can be part of a larger DMS or ECM project involving multiple document types, departments, integrations, and archiving processes.

Which solution is better for Microsoft 365 environments?

d.velop offers a dedicated Microsoft 365 contract management solution with integrations for environments such as SharePoint, Outlook, and Teams.

For companies with a deeply embedded Microsoft 365 infrastructure, this can be an advantage. Companies should still compare this with the depth of specialized contract management functionality they need.

Which solution is better for enterprise-wide document management?

d.velop is stronger when the main goal is broader document management, digital files, archiving, and ECM across many document types.

Inhubber is the stronger fit when the main goal is to manage contracts as a dedicated business process.

Can existing contracts be migrated to Inhubber?

Yes. Existing contracts can be transferred to Inhubber, including relevant contract information and metadata.

The exact migration approach depends on the number of contracts, existing folder structures, file formats, and available contract data.

What should companies compare when choosing between Inhubber and d.velop?

The most important factors are contract volume, deadline management, AI functionality, workflows, electronic signatures, integrations, permissions, reporting, implementation effort, and total cost.

The key question is whether the company needs a specialized contract management platform or a broader document management and ECM environment.
