FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about Aline's Legal Document Software.

Can Aline surface risk before contracts reach final approval?

Yes. Aline identifies non-standard language, missing clauses, and risky terms early in the workflow. Legal can address exposure before signing, reducing late-stage surprises and preventing risk from entering executed agreements.

How quickly can Aline fit into our existing sales and operations stack?

Aline connects directly with CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot to keep deal data and contract terms in sync. Implementation is lightweight, with most teams live in about a week, not the months traditional CLMs require.

What happens when contract terms don’t match internal policies?

Aline flags deviations from approved language automatically. Legal teams can enforce fallback clauses and preferred positions consistently, ensuring contracts align with internal policies before execution without relying on manual checks.

If Legal doesn’t drive revenue, where does Aline’s ROI come from?

Contracts directly impact revenue, renewals, and risk. Aline shortens contract cycles, removes manual work, reduces missed obligations, and gives finance clear, usable contract data. Teams see ROI through faster deal movement, fewer errors, and better decisions.

Do we have to change how our teams already work to use Aline?

No. Teams can draft directly in Aline or continue working in Microsoft Word using the Aline Word plug-in. Contracts stay connected to the same workflows, approvals, and audit trail either way without extra uploads or rework.
