Contractbook’s business model is to offer a platform where customers can manage their contracts. Just like having an ERP system and a CRM system, with Contractbook, you have a place to manage contracts. You send them, sign them, and store them.
“There are often a lot of relatively important things in a contract – everything from probation periods to expiration dates, to salary negotiations. In its current form, a contract just sits there, and unless you activate it with data from elsewhere, it dies. We make sure it doesn’t,” explains Viktor Heide.
As a company like Contractbook grows and hires employees with professional backgrounds, the expectations for the equipment provided also increase. This is something Viktor Heide, who is both a co-founder and COO at Contractbook, learned. With just two weeks’ notice, the company needed new computers, some of which had to be sent to employees abroad.
“It was easy, manageable, and we could get started immediately. We had a specific problem that needed solving in just two weeks. Through FlexBuy, we sent equipment to three different countries. I could just say that I needed a MacBook at a good price for an employee in Spain,” says Viktor Heide.
By leasing equipment instead of buying it, Contractbook also avoids having a shelf full of unused computers – a “MacBook graveyard,” as Viktor Heide calls it.
So far, 20 of Contractbook’s employees are covered by the leasing agreement, but more are gradually being added. Viktor Heide notes that it’s easy to scale up or down if an employee is hired or leaves.
Viktor Heide doesn’t hesitate for a moment when asked whether he would recommend a leasing agreement to others:
“Definitely! It saves you the hassle of having to choose, buy, and maintain computers yourself, and avoids having a pile of dead computers lying around in the corner. Plus, leasing is just easy and flexible, and you can return the equipment when you need to. It’s also worth mentioning that you don’t have to come up with 10,000 kroner each time – it’s just 300 kroner a month.”
