What Is Zoho Contracts?

Zoho Contracts helps to streamline contract lifecycle management. This contract management software offers features that improve efficiency throughout the entire contract process—from contract creation and editing, to contract control and compliance and data management.

Zoho Contracts Features

Zoho Contracts offers an array of features that make the contract creation process quick and easy while mitigating business risks associated with sharing contracts online.

  • Instant contract creation with predefined templates: choose from a set of predefined templates fit for all legal operations, including NDA and MSA contract templates. Simply add the contract and counterparty information to a template, and that’s it.
  • Built-in document editor: the integration with Zoho Writer allows you to edit documents and author contracts anytime, anyplace.
  • Secure sharing: send contracts via password-protected links that the counterparty will be able to access, even without a Zoho account.
  • Tracking changes: Contracts streamlines the entire contract lifecycle by allowing you to track changes made by the counterparty in the form of redlining, which you can easily accept, edit, or remove.
  • Obligation management: each contract has a tab designated for obligations management, whether those obligations are one-time or recurring tasks.
  • Electronic signature: the integration with Zoho Sign allows you to sign legally binding contracts right from the Contracts app.
  • Turning contract data into business insights: features such as Reports and Dashboard allow you to gain a high-level overview of your business and gather actionable business insights across all aspects of contract management.
  • Contract control and compliance: having all your contracts in a single central repository, audit trails, and version control allow you to achieve better control and improve compliance.
