What is document tracking software?

Document tracking helps users monitor and manage the status of a document throughout its lifecycle.

As documents move through drafting and approval processes and are finally sent to intended recipients for review and e-signature, document tracking can keep you informed every step of the way.

With PandaDoc, document tracking is part of a larger document ecosystem. Users can create documents from scratch, send them to intended recipients, capture e-signatures and payment, and store completed documents in a dedicated repository.

The best part: PandaDoc can handle all aspects of the document lifecycle, so you never have to leave the platform.

Frequently asked questions

  • While some companies may charge extra for DTS services, PandaDoc offers document tracking as part of any standard pricing plan.

    This key feature automates document tracking and the integrated functionality helps to ensure authenticity for every type of document.

  • Industry leaders often import CRM data from Salesforce or HubSpot into PandaDoc and use the platform to prepare and send documents.

    When that happens, documents stay within PandaDoc, and any activity related to that document is automatically tracked.

    During document creation, it’s possible to export PandaDoc files as PDF or DOCX. If documents are downloaded from the platform and sent as an attachment, PandaDoc won’t be able to log user activity.

  • The document tracking feature includes the following statistics: times viewed, total time spent, last view, PDF download, and if any links were clicked.

    Additionally, team members will be able to see when a document status was changed, both through manual action and through automated functionality, such as e-signing a document to complete it.

  • Document reminders can be set within the document menu to send automatically on a weekly basis or prior to a predetermined expiry date.

    It’s also possible to send manual reminders to individual recipients in order to prompt a follow-up or notify stakeholders of a document change.
