Bison Transport’s legal team, part of the larger Richardson family of companies, needed a secure, centralized way to manage contracts — one that felt approachable for attorneys without deep technical expertise. Before Aline, they relied heavily on SharePoint and manual tracking to monitor renewals, expirations, and contract obligations. It was clunky, time-consuming, and hard to trust.

Beyond ease of use, security was paramount. The team’s parent company — and its network of attorneys — needed absolute confidence in how Aline handled data and confidentiality.

Challenge

“I don’t find SharePoint convenient for collaborating or easy to use,” said Erin Zasada, Legal Counsel at Bison. “I’m not the most tech-savvy person, but with Aline, I was up and running almost immediately.”

Aline’s AI-powered contract repository gave Bison’s legal team the visibility and assurance they were missing.Using Aline, Erin can:

  • Bulk upload contracts or sync directly from SharePoint
  • Automatically extract key data like renewal dates, indemnities, and governing law
  • Generate live reports in seconds using AI queries — no manual tagging
  • Get proactive reminders 30, 60, or 90 days before renewals

And with SOC 2 Type II certification and strict AI data protections, Aline met Bison’s compliance and confidentiality standards.

Solution

"We were able to see renewal timelines and clauses across hundreds of contracts instantly. What used to be hours of searching now takes minutes.”

Streamlined contract reporting and renewal monitoring.

Automated reminders that prevent missed deadlines.

Full confidence in data security and compliance.

Positive user adoption, even for less tech-oriented team members.

Results

“You have no idea how much time Aline has saved me,” said Erin. “It’s simple, secure, and powerful — everything we needed.”

“Aline turned contract reporting from a chore into a strength — and it just works.”
