M & A: Buy Side
Your next acquisition target is identified, and now it's time to start the due diligence process. You've used Virtual Data Rooms in the past, but you've been frustrated by the clunky and cumbersome solutions available on the market. Pandesa ShareVault can help to accelerate your next buy side due diligence project by streamlining due diligence document review.
Customize your due diligence list, and provide your seller's team with an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface to respond to each item in the list. Sellers upload files in their native format (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and over 300 other file types). ShareVault takes care of PDF conversion and making the content fully searchable, with fast integrated search and browse tools so your team can review the content quickly.
ShareVault provides the most modern, easiest-to-use, fastest and most robust web-based platform, with the following capabilities to accelerate your next deal:
- Per-user and per-document access control settings so you can control who can see what information and when,
- Entirely web-based application does not require installation of any proprietary document viewing software,
- Instant full-text search, so that participants can quickly find the information they need, greatly compressing the due diligence timeline,
- Email alert settings, so your team can be informed as new content becomes available,
- Fast, easy-to-use tools to setup and modify the structure of the data room so your deal can proceed quickly,
- Policy-based rights management so you can specify who has the right to view, print or save each document. Apply watermarks, block screenshots, prevent copy/paste, and in the event that a deal goes sour, you can even retroactively revoke the rights to open PDFs that have already been downloaded,
- Drag-and-drop document uploader based on a fast and secure proprietary data transfer technology - so your seller can populate the ShareVault fast,
- Conversion to secure PDF format happens automatically with support for over 300 filetypes,
- Participants view documents in native Adobe Acrobat, locked-down with special security protocol that allows tracking of documents even after they have been downloaded, without any special document viewing software,
- Comprehensive reporting tools provide the information you need to determine who has spent time reviewing the critical documents for your deal,
