Why it matters

A contract is not a document. It is a commitment, and commitments deserve a system.

Most organisations still manage contracts the way they did a decade ago. These are the six points where contracts fail.

Scattered storage

Contracts sit across inboxes, drives and desks.

Result: Lost time

Slow manual drafting

Each contract starts from an old copy or a blank page.

Result: Longer cycles

Opaque approvals

No one can see who holds the contract, or why.

Result: Stalled deals

Missed obligations

Dates, deliverables and notice periods go untracked.

Result: Fines and auto-renewals

Hidden clause risk

Non-standard terms pass without a policy check.

Result: Unmanaged risk

Weak proof of integrity

No reliable record of which version was signed.

Result: Disputed versions

After signature

Stage 2 governs what the contract commits you to, until it ends.

Obligation management

Obligations get owners, dates and reminders.

Renewal

Renewal and notice dates surface before they pass.

Amendment

Amendments stay linked to the parent contract.

Child contract

Work orders and child contracts inherit the parent's terms and history.

Termination

Termination closes the record with its full history.

Four AI capabilities

AI with human oversight: nothing goes live until a reviewer confirms it.

AI drafting and clause library

Creates and redrafts contracts from approved clauses, with dynamic fields for parties, dates and values.

AI playbook

Applies your company policies to every clause, flagging risks, missing clauses, deviations and fallback positions.

AI review of templates

Catches a liability cap above limit, a 15-day notice where policy says 30, or a missing data-protection clause.

AI obligation extraction

Pulls dates, owners and actions from executed contracts into tracked tasks with reminders.

Tamper-evident by design

Every executed version can be verified as unaltered.

Hash

Each executed version gets a unique digital fingerprint.

The fingerprint is anchored with a time record.

Verify

Anyone with access can confirm a copy is unaltered.

FAQs

Questions buyers ask us.

Does the AI sign off contracts on its own?

No. AI prepares drafts, reviews and extractions; nothing goes live until a human reviewer confirms it.

Can Pactinex run on our own servers?

Yes. It deploys in the cloud (SaaS in T + 7 calendar days) or on-premise (T + 15 days), with go-live four days after set-up.

How do we prove which version was signed?

Each executed version is hashed, and the fingerprint is timestamped on a blockchain, so anyone with access can verify a copy is unaltered.

What do you need from us to start?

An executive sponsor, your top contract types, your approval matrix and the systems to integrate.
