ContractWorks
ContractWorks is the contract management product of Onit, which acquired it in 2022 through its purchase of parent company SecureDocs and has since consolidated the brand onto Onit.com. It combines a secure repository with Smart Document Tagging that extracts contract metadata automatically, OCR full-text search, renewal alerts, dynamic templates, a collaborative redlining editor, approval workflows, and built-in electronic signature. Legal teams gain organised contract data and reliable renewal visibility without a heavyweight CLM implementation.
About the product
ContractWorks is a contract lifecycle management platform owned by Onit, which acquired it in 2022 through its purchase of SecureDocs and has since brought the brand under Onit.com. It is aimed at legal and business teams that need contracts organised, searchable, and actively tracked without committing to a long enterprise CLM implementation.
Key features of ContractWorks include:
- Contract Repository: Centralises executed and in-flight agreements in a secure repository with role-based permissions, version history, and an audit trail of every access and change.
- Smart Document Tagging: Reads uploaded contracts and assigns metadata such as counterparty, term, value, and renewal date automatically, removing manual data entry from repository onboarding.
- Reporting And Alerts: Issues automated notifications ahead of renewal dates, expirations, and obligation milestones, and builds custom reports and dashboards from tagged contract data.
- OCR And Advanced Search: Applies optical character recognition to scanned agreements so full text, clauses, and key terms become searchable across the entire contract portfolio.
- Drafting And Signature: Generates agreements from dynamic templates and clause libraries, routes them through configurable approval workflows, and executes them with built-in electronic signature.
Best for: Small and mid-sized legal departments and lean in-house teams that need a searchable contract repository with renewal tracking and straightforward approval workflows.
ContractWorks turns a scattered collection of signed PDFs into structured, reportable contract data, so legal teams stop missing renewals and can answer questions about obligations in minutes rather than days.
ContractWorks is a contract management platform from Onit that centralises contract storage, automates metadata tagging and renewal alerts, and speeds approvals for lean legal teams.
