Pergamin

Pergamin is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that streamlines the process of drafting, negotiating, signing, and managing contracts and other legal documents. Launched in 2017 by founders Jakub Barwaniec, Piotr Łuczak, and Antoni Wędzikowski, the company's solution enables the convenient and secure handling of documents through the use of modular, interactive templates. These templates incorporate the legal logic of the document, allowing for the seamless integration of business data from various tools.

Pergamin's platform automates the entire document lifecycle, minimizing the involvement of employees at each step. It facilitates fast drafting and negotiations, effective team collaboration, secure acceptance, and electronic signing with different types of electronic signatures. The signed documents are then stored in an orderly repository. By transitioning from paper-based processes to Pergamin's digital ecosystem, companies can significantly reduce the time and costs associated with contract processing.

As of June 2022, Pergamin supported over 350 clients, including notable companies like Volvo Trucks and Cushman & Wakefield, with over 35,000 registered users having signed more than 80,000 contracts through the platform. In June 2022, the company raised USD 1.2 million in seed funding to further enhance its product offerings, particularly in handling more complex contracts involving multiple parties and various levels of compliance.

Key customers and partnerships

In August 2020, the Ekspert Optyk group, which operates optical salons throughout Poland, adopted Pergamin's system to digitize and centralize their contracting process with partner salons. By utilizing Pergamin's contract templates and online signing capabilities, Ekspert Optyk eliminated the need for printing and courier delivery of physical documents, resulting in cost savings for both the group and its affiliated salons.

Another notable customer highlighted the ability to avoid printing dozens of pages for every contract, leading to considerable savings on paper. Multiple large companies praised Pergamin for reducing the time required for document preparation and circulation from a week to as little as an hour, automating processes, and enabling seamless collaboration within a digital ecosystem.
