Discover our AI platform

30–50% faster contract cycles for GC-led teams at 100-1,000-employee companies

Draft, redline, approve, and sign contracts in one browser-based workspace instead of juggling Word, email, and e-signature tools.

50–75% less time spent on routine legal review

Playbooks apply approved clauses and fallback positions automatically, reducing back-and-forth and outside-counsel dependence.

Live in < 7 days, not months

Most teams are up and running in under a week with existing templates and workflows, avoiding the 3–6 month rollout typical of legacy CLMs.

Draft and update contracts with AI inside the document

Aline’s AI works directly where contracts are written and edited, helping teams generate, revise, and align language faster without switching tools or exporting drafts.

Analyze contracts as soon as they’re signed

Once executed, contracts flow into Aline’s AI-powered repository, where teams can review obligations, identify risks, and generate reports without manual tagging or rework.

What lean legal teams see in quarter one

Let’s face it — most CLM platforms haven't delivered.
Over 50% of legal teams report failed tech rollouts, less than 30% of CLMs are used enterprise-wide, and nearly half don’t deliver on value.
Aline fixes that.

Area Key performance areas impacting legal contract management	With Others Traditional methods with seperate platforms, high costs, and limited control or visibility	After Aline Optimized workflow with faster workflows, lower risk, and streamlined reporting
Contract cycle time → (From backlog to predictable flow)	Deals stall across Word versions, email threads, and manual approvals	30-50% faster turnaround by drafting, reviewing, approving, and signing in one system, pulling in-quarter revenue forward
Legal workload capacity → (From overload to leverage)	8–12 hours per week spent on repetitive drafting, redlining, and follow-ups	50–75% reduction in routine work using AI playbooks, often offsetting 1 full legal headcount by Q2
Policy and clause consistency → (From drift to enforcement)	Standards depend on reviewer availability and manual checks	Approved language and fallback terms auto-applied, so more contracts clear first review and escalations drop materially
Outside counsel spend → (From rising cost to controlled usage	Routine reviews escalated externally, driving six-figure annual spend	More work handled in-house, reducing outside counsel reliance by 30-40%
Visibility for leadership → (From reactive updates to real-time answers)	Status updates and reporting pulled manually on request	Live visibility into contract stage, approvals, and risk without extra reporting
Time to value → (From long rollout to fast payback)	3-6 month implementations with services and configuration	Live in <7 days, with measurable ROI typically visible within the first quarter

What our customers are saying

10× cost advantage over outside counsel

“Outside counsel is expensive. Having them double-check something costs as much as creating ten contracts in Aline.”

Mike Quattrochi

CEO, WarehouseNow

Accurate redlines in minutes

"Aline's Al redlining saves us so much time! It redlines our contracts against our playbooks, so first turns come back faster and more consistent. We've gone from line-editing
every contract to just spot-checking the outliers."

Julie Shullman

GC & CPO, Telly

45 minutes down to under 2 minutes.

“The volume of paper crossing my desk was staggering. Redlining a simple MNDA used to take up to 45 minutes. Now I can do the same task in under two minutes.”

Daniel Telford

Legal Counsel, Xevant

FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about Aline's AI Workflows for Contract Management.

How complex is implementation? Will this require manual work or constant updates?

Aline integrates directly with the tools teams already use, including document storage and CRM systems, and automates the contract lifecycle end to end. Drafting, review, approvals, signing, and tracking run in one system, so there’s no need to maintain parallel trackers or trigger updates manually. Most teams are live in days, not months, without dedicated IT support.

How do we justify the cost? Will we see ROI at our current contract volume?

Aline delivers the fastest ROI for SMB and mid-market companies (roughly 100–1,000 employees) in which legal teams manage growing contract volumes without extensive operations support. These teams replace multiple tools, reduce routine outside-counsel work, and cut cycle time, typically seeing payback within the first quarter through faster deals, fewer escalations, and the elimination of manual reporting.

How accurate is the AI? Can we trust it with legal work?

Aline’s AI operates within guardrails defined by your approved templates, fallback positions, and policies. It doesn’t invent legal positions or replace human judgment. Instead, it applies your standards consistently, flags deviations, and accelerates routine work. Every output remains reviewable, editable, and traceable to the underlying contract.

Can multiple teams collaborate without creating confusion or extra licenses?

Yes. Aline is designed for cross-functional use by legal, procurement, finance, and sales. Each stakeholder sees what’s relevant to them, while Legal maintains control over standards, approvals, and risk. Permissions and workflows ensure collaboration without losing oversight.

Do you have customer references we can speak with?

Yes. Aline is used by legal teams across industries, including regulated and high-volume environments. We’re happy to share relevant customer references during the evaluation process so you can hear directly how teams similar to yours use the platform.

We’re not sure about timing. How flexible is the rollout?

Aline doesn’t require a big-bang rollout. Teams can start with a specific contract type or workflow and expand as needed. This allows organizations to move forward when ready without committing to a large, disruptive implementation upfront.

We don’t have a large legal team. Will this be hard to manage?

No. Aline is built for lean teams and organizations without extensive legal operations support. Workflows, playbooks, and approvals are easy to configure, and ongoing maintenance is minimal. The platform reduces operational burden instead of adding to it.

How does Aline handle complex contracts and fallback positions?

Aline supports complex agreements by capturing preferred language, fallback positions, and negotiation rules directly from your templates. These standards are applied consistently during drafting and review, helping teams manage complexity without redoing the same work on every contract.

Is our contract data secure? How do you handle sensitive information and compliance?

Customer contract data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Aline does not use customer data to train AI models, ensuring confidentiality by design. The platform supports enterprise security and compliance requirements, including SOC 2 Type II and GDPR standards.
