Automated contract management
Not whether it was signed: where it is. Whether it reached them, whether they opened it, and whether it’s sitting behind a signature that has to happen before the next one can. That is the part automation actually fixes.
20 minutes, on your own website, no slide deck. First month free.
Answered in seconds, alerted in minutes, signed before dinner.
Answers from your own content, remembers people, and hands over to a person when it matters.
Every conversation becomes a scored lead, credited to the ad that produced it and reported every month.
One line of code, one record per person, and a person always clicks send.
Scope
The honest version, because the search term promises more than the product does.
| The job | Contract lifecycle management | YDO Sign |
|---|---|---|
| Drafting and redlining | Clause libraries, version control, negotiation threads | No: No. Draft it where you draft it now. |
| A searchable repository | Every contract, tagged, with obligation tracking | No: No. We are not a contract database. |
| Getting it signed | Usually included, sometimes an add-on | Yes: Yes. Sent in a sentence, signed on a phone. |
| Knowing where it is right now | Varies, often a report you have to run | Yes: Sent, opened, signed on one screen, with the reason it’s stuck |
| Proving it was signed | Certificate, varies by vendor | Yes: Sealed certificate a PDF reader can verify, stamped to the Sydney second |
| Catching the renewal | Obligation tracking, if configured | Yes: Flagged 30 days out, read from the document’s own dates |
What actually gets automated
Automation in this category usually means a workflow builder you have to configure and a repository you have to populate. This is the other kind: the jobs that were already happening, happening on their own.
Someone was chasing. Someone was re-typing the same details. Someone was going to notice the renewal, probably late. Those are the jobs.
What it automates
Drop in the document you already send. Signatures and dates seat themselves on the printed lines. Type who it goes to in a sentence and the form fills itself. A person always clicks send.
Signers go in order. Reminders name exactly what is left. Stuck documents are listed with the reason they’re holding, so nothing goes quiet without you knowing why.
Flagged 30 days out from the document’s own dates. One click refills the template and sends it again, with the details already in place.
What buyers actually complain about
Not signing. Not price. The renewal. It is the single most repeated complaint in the entire sentiment dataset, and YDO already ships the mechanism that answers it.
The problem, in their words
“No notification for auto renewal. No refund policy.”
How YDO resolves it
YDOflags renewals 30 days out, read from the document’s own dates. One click refills the template.
The problem, in their words
“My renewal hit on June 7, 2026. I did not see a notice.”
How YDO resolves it
YDOputs sent, opened and signed on one screen, with every stuck document listed and the reason it is holding. Nothing goes quiet, including the renewal.
The problem, in their words
“They now require an additional USD 2 for every document I generate automatically.”
How YDO resolves it
YDOpublishes its prices.
The problem, in their words
“I wrote to the support, 7 DAYS LATER, still no news.”

For your team
Details come back on their own. Send to someone again and their details return, highlighted for checking.
Sent, opened and signed on one screen, with every stuck document listed and the reason.
Renewals flagged 30 days out, read from the document’s own dates.
For the signer
One link, opened on the phone in their hand, signed with a finger.
A closed tab costs nothing: ticks save as they go and the link reopens filled in.
Consent that can’t be skipped. Yes/No pairs become required questions, so the answer is on the record.
Before you go further
If you negotiate contracts (redlines going back and forth, clauses argued over, a legal team that needs version history), buy a contract lifecycle platform. We would be the wrong purchase and you would find out in month three. This is for businesses that send largely standard agreements and need them back, signed, without anyone chasing.
Why it holds up
The sealed certificate records each signature with time and place, stamped to the Sydney second.
Correct it and the old link stops working that moment. Not at the next sync.
Senders see their own documents. Contractors can’t wander through HR letters.
Questions we get asked
No, and we would rather say so here than let you find out later. It automates sending, ordering, chasing, sealing and renewals. It does not draft, redline or store a contract library.
Not out of the box. A CRM integration is built as a YDO Custom project, scoped to the system you use. YDO Custom
It reads the dates in the document itself and flags 30 days out. One click refills the template.
Electronic signatures are recognised under the Electronic Transactions Act framework, with conditions, and some document types are excluded. We describe what the certificate records; whether your specific agreement is enforceable is a question for your own advisers.
You do. They are yours and they leave with you.
