Ironclad

CPQ

Contract lifecycle platform with an AI-searchable repository and obligation visibility across every agreement.

Overview

Ironclad is a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform covering the full arc of an agreement: intake and workflow design, negotiation and redlining, approval, signature, and a structured repository where executed contracts become queryable data. Legal teams own it, but sales, procurement, and finance live in it — quotes turn into agreements through its workflows, and renewal or obligation questions get answered from its repository instead of a shared drive. In the revenue stack it sits between CPQ and the systems that bill and recognize revenue, holding the terms everyone downstream depends on.

Contract Obligation Tracking Fulfill & Activate Supported Surfaced dates, renewals, and commitments from repository data.

What makes it different

Two things stand out: a no-code workflow designer that lets legal ops encode intake and approval paths without engineering, and heavy investment in AI for the repository — extracting clauses, dates, and obligations so contracts are searchable as data. That data layer is what makes it useful to RevOps, not just legal: renewal dates, auto-renew terms, and negotiated pricing clauses stop being tribal knowledge.

Frequently asked questions

Why does RevOps care about a CLM if legal owns it?

Because contracts are where pricing actually lives. Negotiated discounts, renewal and auto-renew terms, usage commitments, and non-standard clauses all sit in executed agreements — a CLM with structured extraction turns those into data that billing, CS, and renewal motions can act on.

How does Ironclad relate to e-signature tools like Docusign?

Signature is one step in Ironclad's workflow, and it integrates with major signature providers as well as offering its own. The distinction is scope: signature tools execute a document; a CLM manages how it got drafted, negotiated, approved, and what happens to its terms afterward.
