Data-Driven Automation

Traditional document automation platforms use custom forms for the end user to enter the variable data required to produce a document or document pack. But what happens when volumes are in the thousands or tens of thousands every week?

Customised Automation
SD-BYO-Accurate

Always Accurate

Say goodbye to rekeying and out-of-date data

SD-BYO-Accurate

PMS & DMS integration
Maintain a single source-of-truth. Smarter Drafter Pro integrates seamlessly with all leading PMS solutions, drawing Client and Matter information into all automations. Then save all completed work directly to any of the leading DMS solutions.

Data validation
Deliver field-by-field data accuracy and integrity in every automation. Check dates and numbers, plus in-built validation for addresses, ABNs and ACNs.

Calculation engine
Smarter Drafter Pro includes a powerful calculation engine. The end user simply enters the baseline figures and the calculation engine will do the rest.

 

Eliminate Re-keying with
the Matter Record

Streamline document workflows by centralising data entry, enabling seamless sharing of information across all client documents and forms

The Matter Record

Data Sharing
Automatically share matter data across all client documents. Eliminate re-keying by mapping information entered into one document to all subsequent documents, ensuring efficiency and accuracy throughout the process.

Matter Record
Capture and store all key matter information in a central datasheet. The Matter Record is populated via online forms, integrations with Practice Management Systems, or manual entry, making it accessible for all future documents in the case.

Mapping Between Intake and Forms
Link client intake forms directly to document automation. Information entered by clients through instruction forms is automatically mapped to precedents, speeding up document creation and reducing manual data entry.

The Matter Record
Integrated with iManage

Embedded in your Workflow

Add automation seamlessly into your legal-tech stack

Integrated with iManage

Automation Everywhere
Embed Smarter Drafter Pro anywhere, including iManage Work 10. Add document assembly to an environment familiar to your end-user. Customise the UI experience to match your brand and tech ecosystem.

Client-Facing Forms
Facilitate digital client interactions by developing online questionnaires. As clients submit information, it is seamlessly passed to your drafting team, minimising manual data entry and ensuring a more efficient document assembly process.

When Form-Filling Isn't Enough

Scale document automation with zero manual input

Data Driven Automation

Data-Driven Automation (DDA) allows Smarter Drafter PRo to generate high-volume, high-complexity legal documents automatically, triggered by structured data from your practice management system or internal tools. Purpose-built for commercial, regulatory, and outsourced legal services teams, DDA eliminates bottlenecks and accelerates legal service delivery, without compromising control.

Trigger Documents Automatically
Smarter Drafter Pro connects to your internal systems to automatically generate documents, no form-filling, logins, or manual entry required. When a new matter, status, or record is created, the platform builds the required documents instantly.

Handle High Complexity at Scale
Generate multi-party document packs with embedded logic, clause variation, and detailed calculations. DDA is ideal for repeatable, rules-based processes where consistency, speed, and compliance are essential.

Keep Lawyers in the Loop
Even in full automation mode, lawyers remain in control. Documents are output in Word using your firm’s approved templates and Clause Bank, enabling review and refinement before they’re shared or filed.

Data Driven Automation

Documents to be proud of

Produce beautifully formatted client-facing, courtroom ready documents that are as easy to read as they are compliant.

Documents Isometric

Smart Q&A Experience
Our dynamic questionnaire adapts in real time to user responses, guiding them step by step. Smarter Drafter Pro prompts only for relevant details, skips unnecessary sections, and ensures documents are completed accurately with built-in guidance, tips, and definitions at every stage.

Intelligent Document Assembly
Documents are automatically tailored to client input. Clauses are included or excluded based on answers, with correct formatting, numbering, and variable data (like names or matter details) applied seamlessly. Smarter Drafter Pro also manages pluralisation and pronouns for consistent, professional results.

Scalable & Powerful
From a few entries to hundreds, repeatable data is processed and formatted flawlessly. Smarter Drafter Pro ensures correct insertion, structure, and numbering, no matter the volume, so even complex documents remain clear, accurate, and compliant.
