Stages of the contract lifecycle

  1. Request and planning
  2. Drafting from a template or with AI
  3. Internal review
  4. Approvals
  5. Signing
  6. Performance and monitoring
  7. Renewal or termination and archiving

Problems with manual management

  • Contracts scattered across email and folders
  • Missed renewal and expiry dates
  • No clarity on who approved and when
  • Hard to find a clause or signed copy

Benefits of CLM automation

  • A consistent, fast template library
  • A clear approval path
  • E-signature and audit trail
  • Central search and archive
  • Alerts and status tracking

Start with Oqoodi AI

Oqoodi combines drafting, approval, signing and archiving in one dashboard, in Arabic and English, so every contract has a known path and live status.
