About beNEXT
beNEXT uses Smart Legal Contract technology to solve real problems for people and businesses, starting with the property industry.
Agreements have been around for millennia. Signed in blood, sealed with wax, printed on paper or emailed via PDF. Now contracts are software, simplifying the connections between people, the information that is exchanged and the commerce that flows.
beNEXT has developed a multi-party smart contracts platform that simplifies workflows in an easy to use app.
Early on, beNEXT identified property transactions, with their long chains of activity and many people involved, as broken. So, they signed a channel partnership with the Real Estate Institute of Victoria, replacing all the traditional leasing and sales PDF forms used by +4,000 member agents. The secure solution makes it all transparent, speeding up the process and minimises errors.
