How Geodis streamlined contract negotiations to meet surging demand

Overview

A powerhouse in global freight management, Geodis plays a key role in maintaining the flow of goods across critical sectors worldwide. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, logistics didn’t slow down—it accelerated. Freight volumes skyrocketed, timelines tightened, and the need for rapid execution became critical. But while trucks and cargo moved quickly, contracts threatened to fall behind.

In a landscape that demanded adaptability, the company’s Legal team faced a surge in contract volume. Remote work only added to the complexity. A high volume of freight agreements needed to be negotiated or renewed quickly—often under tighter timelines than ever before—all while ensuring every clause met rigorous regulatory requirements.

That’s when Geodis turned to DocJuris.

Challenge

Geodis had always operated with precision, but the pandemic introduced new variables at every turn. The company was scaling up services to meet spiking demand across its global network, yet its internal workflows weren’t designed for that level of acceleration—especially not under the constraints of remote work.

Every contract needed to move faster. But with Legal teams stretched thin, delays became harder to avoid. Agreements requiring swift approvals were bogged down by manual reviews, email threads, and redline revisions that had to be carefully managed for compliance. The growing volume of contract work threatened to introduce bottlenecks—putting time-sensitive operations at risk and challenging teams to keep pace.

The stakes were high: delays in contract approval didn’t just mean lost time—they meant lost revenue and strained client relationships.

Solution

With DocJuris’s AI-powered contract review platform, Geodis redefined its approach to redlining and approvals. Contracts that once required extensive back-and-forth could now be reviewed, edited, and returned in a fraction of the time. DocJuris surfaced the most critical issues immediately, enabling Legal to focus only on the provisions that required attention.

Instead of manually editing Word documents or managing version-heavy email chains, attorneys worked within an intuitive, centralized platform. One-click markups simplified routine edits. Built-in compliance checks flagged risks in real time. And because DocJuris was designed for collaborative workflows, multiple stakeholders could work on the same document—remotely and securely.

The result was a fully streamlined process that unlocked both speed and control. Geodis’s Legal and Compliance teams were able to keep up with surging contract demands and support the business through unprecedented growth—without disrupting existing operations or sacrificing legal rigor.
