Managing contracts in Word and saving on the network is a recipe for missing deadlines. CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) in **Jestor** manages the full lifecycle: Request, Drafting, Approval, Signature, and Renewal.

### **Never miss a renewal again**

Vendor contracts often have automatic renewal if you don't cancel 30 days in advance. Jestor sends the alert: "Contract X expires in 45 days. Do you want to cancel?" This saves thousands of dollars on services you no longer use.

### **Smart Repository**

1. **Metadata:** When saving the contract, you fill in: Value, Start Date, End Date, Object.
2. **Search:** Find "All active contracts over $10k" in seconds.
3. **Links:** The contract is linked to the Vendor and Payments made.

### **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)**

**Does Jestor sign digitally?** It integrates with DocuSign, HelloSign, and Adobe Sign. Jestor sends the document, collects the signature, and saves the signed file back to the folder.

**Is it good for Legal?** Yes, it is the main tool for Legal Ops to organize the company's contract demand.

**How to control versions?** The system stores versions (v1, v2, final), allowing auditing of what changed during negotiation.

### **Conclusion**

With **Jestor**, your contracts stop being dead papers and become active management data.
