Procurement wants to know whether a vendor contract auto-renews next month. You know it's somewhere in their Drive. You're just not sure which folder, or which of the three versions is the signed one. Meanwhile the message from your last budget meeting is still ringing in your ears: do more with less.
Yelp's legal team knows the feeling. This guide is what they did about it.




Six chapters in the order you should run them, each closing with how Yelp handled it. Almost none of it needs new software.

You've been asked to centralize contracts without a dedicated ops team, a year-long rollout, or a six-figure platform.
Your headcount request got pushed to next year, and you need something to show for this quarter instead.
