Contract Generation Automation

Contract generation automation pulls deal data from your CRM, populates templates with correct terms and pricing, routes approvals, and sends documents for e-signature. Sales and legal teams using this automation reduce contract creation time from 30-60 minutes to under 2 minutes per document.

Estimated Savings

5-10 hours per week for sales/legal teams

Setup Time

5-10 days

The Problem

Creating contracts manually takes 30-60 minutes per document. Legal and sales teams copy templates, fill in client details, adjust terms, route for internal approval, and then wait for signatures. Version control issues cause teams to send outdated terms. Deals stall while contracts sit in someone's inbox.

The Solution

Automated contract generation pulls client and deal data from your CRM, populates a contract template with the correct terms and pricing, routes it through internal approval chains, and sends it for e-signature. Signed contracts are automatically filed and linked back to the CRM record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it handle different contract types?

Yes. You can create templates for NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, order forms, and any other document type. The automation selects the correct template based on deal type or product.

How are custom terms handled?

Standard terms auto-populate. Non-standard terms trigger an approval workflow that routes the contract to legal for review before it goes out for signature.

Where are signed contracts stored?

Signed contracts are automatically filed in your document management system (Google Drive, SharePoint, etc.) and linked to the corresponding CRM record and deal.
