ALOE

ALOE is a contract lifecycle and legal project management platform from Bigfork Technologies, designed by in-house lawyers for corporate legal departments still running contracts and matters on spreadsheets and email. It brings intake, approvals, document control, e-signature and reporting together in one configurable system.

Key features of ALOE include:

• Contract Lifecycle Management: Manages agreements from request through negotiation, execution and renewal using unlimited templates, clause libraries and custom fields configured to each organisation.
• Intake and Workflow Automation: Captures requests through configurable intake forms or email and routes them by automated approval logic, including mobile and email approvals for users without seats.
• Legal Project Management: Tracks matters, tasks and deadlines alongside contracts so legal operations teams see status, bottlenecks and handoffs across the department in a single view.
• Capacity Planning: Reports on workload and resource allocation across the legal team, giving leaders the data to rebalance assignments and support headcount requests with evidence.
• Document Control and Integrations: Provides version control with document locking, OCR search and audit logging, plus DocuSign e-signature and Outlook email integration for filing correspondence.

Best for: Small and mid-sized in-house legal departments and legal operations teams that want contract management, matter tracking and capacity planning in one affordable platform.

ALOE consolidates tools that legal departments usually buy separately, giving lean teams one record of contracts and matters, faster approval cycles, and the workload data needed to make the case for more resources.
