Our story

For more than 25 years, we’ve been passionately crafting products that have won the trust of over 80 million users in more than 150 countries. We pick critical business problems, build products from solid convictions, and keep learning and evolving for the long haul. That’s how we created our broad ecosystem of applications and the entire tech stack behind them. This end-to-end control is why Zoho is known for its privacy standards.

Contract management is crucial to the overall health of any business. In today’s volatile and uncertain business landscapes, the operational challenges involved in contract management are enormous. With more than 15 years of R&D in word processing and document management software, deep expertise in the digital signature space, and our own advanced analytics frameworks, we realized that we already had the critical pieces to develop a powerful contract lifecycle management (CLM) software. And that’s how Zoho Contracts was born.

Why Business

Why businesses need a CLM

Contracts govern all commercial relationships. They oversee every dollar that enters or leaves businesses. However, managing contracts involves several challenges.

Some of the primary challenges are:
  • Long contract cycle times
  • High operational costs
  • Missed renewal opportunities
  • Unfulfilled obligations
  • Poor compliance

In addition to addressing the above challenges, a digital approach allows companies to start creating data pools around their previously unstructured CLM process. From these pools, general counsels and C-level leadership are able to derive refined insights about their commercial relationships that help them identify new ways to leverage contracts. This leads to increased revenue, better protection against risks, and strengthened relationships.

Factors driving adoption

In addition to the operational challenges involved in contract management, the broader factors that influence the adoption of contract management solutions are as follows:

Factors Driving
Complex supply chains

Rapidly evolving technologies and geopolitical uncertainties result in complicated global supply chains. In today's world of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), businesses are looking for flexible CLM systems to help them stay agile.

Frequent regulations

Regulations are cropping up more than ever across all industries. Businesses need to make organization-wide policy changes whenever there are changes in government regulations that impact their contract language.

Diverse sales models

Businesses are developing flexible pricing or business models to meet customer demands and gain a competitive advantage. The challenge is optimizing their contract management process to accommodate this flexibility.

Emphasis on risk mitigation

The emphasis on business risks and their mitigation has gone to an all-time high in recent times. Upon the pandemic lockdowns, businesses had to amend their contracts to include clauses that protected them from liability and unfulfilled obligations. Every business continues to prioritize risk mitigation, and contract management is at the core of this movement.

Trends of consolidation

Mergers and acquisitions are all over the news these days. During these consolidations, businesses need a forensic analysis of their contracts to understand the scope of their existing contract liabilities or obligations, as well as where they stand from a revenue perspective. This has pushed them to adopt contract management software.

Our vision

We at Zoho are firm believers in technology as a problem solver. We envisioned cracking the main contract management challenges in two ways:

Our Vision
Comprehensively address contract management

We wanted to build software that facilitates better business outcomes and not just improve the efficiency of legal operations. To achieve this, we built our software with sophisticated CLM capabilities that address all aspects of contract management.

Ensure ease of implementation

Legacy software that provide contract management solutions are difficult to implement. There is a steep learning curve to adopting such software in any organization. We wanted our software to be simple to implement and easy to use for our customers.

Our approach

We enter as pain relief from all the operational challenges involved in contract management. Contracts are dynamic documents that touch every part of a business, and we believe they can evolve into growth engines when managed effectively.

Our Approach
Streamlining the entire contract lifecycle

We address the functional aspect of contract management by streamlining the entire contract lifecycle with an automated workflow. Zoho Contracts also comes packed with all the features you’d need at every stage of your contract lifecycle.

Mitigating business risks

The critical factors that result in business risks are unfulfilled obligations, poor compliance, and unauthorized access. We provide an extensive obligation management module, advanced data protection settings, approval workflows, and collaboration features to help businesses mitigate these risks.

Improving governance

While managing contracts, you deal with valuable and sensitive data within both the contract and the contract’s meta-data. We help business leaders derive actionable insights from this data using analytics. This allows them to achieve better control over the entire contract management process. We also help admins gain granular visibility into their organization’s CLM activities on all levels, improving transparency and accountability.

Promoting cross-functional collaboration

Contracts touch upon multiple functions: legal, sales, compliance, procurement, and even stakeholders at the C level. Our contract management software becomes the platform that enables collaboration across all functions in an organization.
