Ivalua Contract Management is a contract lifecycle management system for procurement and legal teams, covering work from drafting and negotiation through execution and renewal. AI authoring supports clause drafting and classification, risk assessment, approvals, e-signatures, and collaboration using approved templates and clause libraries. The repository offers full-text, metadata, and AI-enhanced search, summaries, and a Contract 360 view of terms, versions, obligations, stakeholders, risk, pricing, and performance. AI can convert PDF and Word contracts into structured searchable data, including through mass imports of legacy documents. Dashboards track contract health, compliance, risk, performance, cycle time, value, and consumption; alerts flag contract and supplier risks. Shared workspaces provide collaboration, comments, version tracking, and review and approval workflows. Integrations include Ivalua sourcing and procure-to-pay, major ERP systems, DocuSign, and Adobe Sign. Ivalua describes its platform as multi-instance SaaS and says customer data is hosted in a client-selected geography. Its listed platforms are Android, iOS, web, and API.

Zycus Contract Management supports contract work from request and authoring through negotiation, approval, execution and post-signature tracking. Guided intake, a request catalog and chat provide ways to start requests, while approval workflows and policy controls support review. Authoring tools include a clause library, playbook-based fallback positions and multi-party redlining in Microsoft Word. Zycus says its iContract product runs on the Merlin Agentic AI Platform, which supports drafting, clause review, metadata extraction, obligation tracking and renewal management. Merlin agents can structure information from agreements, including bulk-uploaded legacy contracts. Users can search within a contract or across repositories. The system monitors obligations, milestones, renewal windows and auto-renewal risks, with alerts, reminders, audit logs and version control. Zycus says it integrates with DocuSign, Adobe Sign, SAP, Oracle and other e-signature providers and ERPs, and connects with its Sourcing, Supplier Management and Spend Analytics products. The web-based product is aimed at enterprise processes, including legal, procurement and finance reviews. Pricing is available on request.
