Contract Lifecycle Management
Contract lifecycle management software, powered by AI.
Every contract in one place, with agents that review clauses, pull out obligations and chase renewals. Each one stays linked to the vendor behind it, so you see cost and compliance together.
Trusted by companies you know and love
Put the whole contract lifecycle to work.
Gatekeeper runs every stage of contract lifecycle management on one unified platform and one data model, with AI agents doing the legwork so your team can focus on judgment and decision-making.
Never miss a renewal or obligation.
Contracts that auto-renew unnoticed, and obligations no one is tracking, are where budget and compliance leak. Gatekeeper tracks every renewal date and obligation, while agents monitor timelines, flag delays, and continuously measure savings.
Gatekeeper catches outdated agreements before they cost you.
Review every contract against your playbook.
Most contract tools flag a problem and leave the work to your team. Gatekeeper Agents read each agreement, pull out the key terms, dates and obligations, and check them against your playbook.
Standard terms pass through. Deviations come to you ranked by risk, so your team only reviews what actually needs a decision.
Risk is assessed from the start.
Risk usually surfaces after a contract is signed, when it is expensive to fix. Gatekeeper assesses this from the start: validating the third party, checking for duplicate records, confirming budget ownership, and assigning a risk tier so audit isn't the moment you find out.
That step stops fraudulent or duplicate vendors from getting through, prevents wasted spend, and moves only the right contracts forward.
Author faster, redline in one click.
Slow, manual contract cycles stall revenue and bury teams in redlines. Gatekeeper drives every agreement from request to eSignature, with Gatekeeper AI accelerating drafting and redlining on higher-value deals.
Simple agreements like NDAs run end-to-end on their own, so none sit waiting in an inbox or get forgotten.

hours of contract admin saved per week
Approvals that route themselves.
Approvals stall when no one knows whose sign-off is needed. Gatekeeper routes each agreement to its dedicated team, such as Legal or Finance, based on value, category, and risk, with automatic reminders and escalations.
Your process is enforced at every step, and nothing waits on someone chasing it.
Execute with native eSign or DocuSign.
Signing should not mean losing the thread between an agreement and what it commits you to.
Gatekeeper finalises agreements with native eSign and DocuSign, locks versions, captures signatures, and links each signed record back to the obligations it creates.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about contract lifecycle management.
How is Gatekeeper different from a standalone contract tool?
A standalone contract tool manages the document and stops there. Gatekeeper connects every contract to vendor risk and spend on one data model, so due diligence shapes the clauses and obligations stay tracked after signature. You get the contract event and everything around it.
How do I stop contracts auto-renewing without notice?
Gatekeeper tracks every renewal date and notice period, and alerts the owner ahead of each deadline so nothing renews by default. Obligations are tracked the same way, so a missed notice period no longer turns into an unwanted renewal or an early-termination fee.
What do the AI agents actually do across the contract lifecycle?
Gatekeeper Agents screen requests, draft from your templates, review against your playbook, route approvals, capture signatures, and track renewals and obligations. Gatekeeper AI reads and extracts from any contract format. Agents take the admin; the decisions stay with your team, and you can override any action in one click.
Is our contract data used to train AI models?
No. Gatekeeper AI works on your data to answer your questions and run the agents you configure. Your contract data is not used to train third-party models, and access stays governed by your existing permissions.
Does it handle both customer and third-party contracts?
Yes. Gatekeeper manages sell-side customer agreements and buy-side third-party and vendor contracts in one place. Each record links to the vendor, the risk profile, and the spend behind it, so every contract is a single source of truth rather than a document sitting on its own.
Does it connect to NetSuite and our ERP?
Yes. The Gatekeeper for NetSuite SuiteApp syncs vendor, contract, and spend data with NetSuite, and Gatekeeper Interconnect adds no-code integration to ERP, finance, and identity tools, including Microsoft, Workday, ServiceNow, and Sage Intacct. An open API covers anything else.
Do we keep control of our templates and clauses?
Yes. Legal owns the clause library, and agents suggest only within the language you have approved. Guard-railed templates keep non-standard wording from going out unnoticed, so contracts move faster while your positions stay protected.
What is contract lifecycle management software?
Contract lifecycle management software runs the full life of an agreement: creating, negotiating, signing, storing, and managing it through obligations, amendments, and renewal. Gatekeeper does this on a unified platform, so each contract stays connected to the vendor, the risk assessment, and the spend it relates to.
