Every decisionon the record.Kept exactlywhere you choose.
One place to draft, approve, sign and track every contract — with risk explained in plain language, approvals no one can give themselves, and AI that helps but never decides.
Most contract software asks you to move your data into someone else’s cloud, bend your process to fit theirs, and trust a score nobody can explain. PactaCLM works the other way. It runs where your data is allowed to live, fits the way your team already works, and shows its reasoning every single time.
How it works
From first draft to renewal, one clear record.
Four stages, one system. Scroll through what happens at each one — and who gets a say.

01 — DRAFT
Start from wording you’ve already approved.
Every contract begins from an approved template with your standard terms filled in. As you write, it points out anything that strays from your usual positions — before a reviewer ever sees it.
Approved templates
Your preferred wording, with fallbacks
Guidance while you write
02 — NEGOTIATE & APPROVE
Go back and forth. Then the right people sign off.
Every round with the other side is kept, so you always know who asked for what. Bigger or riskier deals go to more senior reviewers automatically — and no one can approve their own work.

Reviewers chosen automatically
Two different people, every time
03 — SIGN & FILE
Signed by the right person. Filed for good.
Only someone allowed to sign that deal can sign it. Once it’s signed, the final version is locked and filed — any later change becomes a proper amendment, never a quiet edit.
Signing authority checked for you

Changes tracked as amendments
04 — TRACK & RENEW
Nothing slips after the ink dries.
Key dates, commitments and renewal notices are tracked for you. You see when you can still act — not just when the contract ends.

Why this is flagged
Renews automatically
This contract renews on its own unless you give notice in time.
Fix the wording, and the flag clears straight away.
Risk you can understand
Every flag comes with a plain-English reason, not a mystery rating.
No one approves their own work
Whoever writes a contract can’t also approve it — not even an admin.
Two separate people, every time
The same person can never approve something twice to push it through.
A full history of every change
Who did what, and when — always visible, never edited away.
AI suggests. People decide.
Every AI change needs a person’s approval. Nothing applies itself.
Approval matches the latest version
Change the terms after they’ve agreed, and it needs approving again.

These figures come from independent, published research — not from PactaCLM. The return range is drawn from three separate studies, each commissioned by a different vendor, so no single company gets to take credit.
