Module capabilities

Everything included in Contract Lifecycle Management

01Key capabilities

Contract Creation & Authoring

Every contract starts from the same governed repository, whether built from a template or from scratch.

Contract Repository — every contract the organisation signs lives in a single centralised repository, so legal, procurement, and finance are always looking at the same authoritative copy rather than whatever version happens to be attached to an old email.

Contract Authoring — new contracts can be drafted quickly from pre-approved templates, ensuring standard language and structure are used consistently instead of each contract being built from a blank document.

Custom Contract Creation — for agreements that don't fit a standard template, contracts can be authored entirely from scratch, including vendor-linked contracts tied to a specific supplier record, giving legal full flexibility without losing the connection back to the vendor master.

Clause Management — a reusable library of standard clauses lets authors insert pre-approved legal language directly into a draft, rather than writing or copy-pasting the same indemnity or termination clause every time a new contract is built.

AI Metadata Extraction (AI) — when a contract is uploaded, AI automatically extracts supplier details and line-item data straight from the document text, populating the contract record without someone manually keying in what the PDF already says.

02Key capabilities

Collaborative Review & Approval

Legal, procurement, and business stakeholders review the same live document, not competing email threads.

Contract Redlining — legal review happens through collaborative redlining on a single live document, with every stakeholder commenting and editing in one place instead of the review being split across email attachments and disconnected copies.

Role-based Review Matrix — the review sequence is defined by role (for example, category manager, then legal, then finance), with each reviewer notified only once the prior stage is complete, so review requests don't all land at once.

Multi-stage Approvals — contracts move through a configurable multi-stage approval hierarchy before execution, giving each level of the organisation the sign-off authority appropriate to the contract's value or risk.

Version Control — every redline and revision is tracked with a full version history and side-by-side diff comparison, so it's always clear exactly what changed between one draft and the next.

Audit Logs — a complete audit log records every action taken on a contract (edits, approvals, comments, signatures), creating a defensible activity trail for internal or external audit.

03Key capabilities

Execution & Compliance Tracking

Signature is the midpoint, not the finish line — every obligation stays visible until it's fulfilled.

eSignature Integration — contracts are executed through native eSignature, letting all parties sign digitally and legally without printing, scanning, or a separate signing tool.

SLA Tracking — key contractual milestones and deadlines are tracked with automated alerts, so an upcoming renewal date or delivery SLA doesn't get missed simply because no one was watching the calendar.

Obligation Tracking — deliverables and compliance obligations defined in the contract are tracked through to fulfilment, so what was promised at signature stays visible and accountable long after the ink is dry.

Got questions

Frequently asked about Contract Lifecycle Management

Can we build a contract without starting from a template?

Yes. Custom contract creation lets legal draft entirely from scratch, including vendor-linked contracts, while still pulling clauses from the shared clause library where useful.

How does the role-based review matrix work?

You define which roles review a contract and in what order — for example, category manager, then legal, then finance — and the system routes the document sequentially, only notifying the next reviewer once the prior stage is complete.

What is tracked after a contract is signed?

SLA tracking flags upcoming milestones and deadlines, while obligation tracking monitors deliverables and compliance status against what was agreed — so nothing signed is forgotten.
