Structuring contract management from scratch without IT means creating a single flow that covers creation, approval, signature, validity, and renewal, without relying on programming. No-code platforms like [Jestor](https://jestor.com/pt/?ref=blog.jestor.com) help build this process, connecting documents, approvals, and deadlines in the same environment.

## Where to start

Many companies control contracts in folders and spreadsheets, with no defined process. Starting from scratch is the chance to do it right from the base.

The base is simple: each contract becomes a record with a phase, owner, and deadline. From there, the flow structures itself naturally, step by step.

And none of this requires a technical team. With no-code, the legal or administrative area itself builds the process, adjusts the phases, and maintains everything without relying on IT.

## What the process needs to cover

- Creating and centralizing each contract as a record
- Approval with authority defined by value
- Signature collection connected to the flow
- Validity and renewal control with alerts
- Version history and who approved each step

## How to build it step by step, without code

- Centralize the contracts in relational [tables](https://jestor.com/pt/tables/?ref=blog.jestor.com)
- Build [approvals](https://jestor.com/pt/approvals/?ref=blog.jestor.com) with hierarchy and authority by value
- Track deadlines with [SLA](https://jestor.com/pt/sla/?ref=blog.jestor.com) and automatic alerts
- Structure the whole flow as a [BPMS](https://jestor.com/pt/bpm-bpa/?ref=blog.jestor.com) process

## Why Jestor makes it easier from scratch

- Templates and tables that provide the starting point
- Approvals with hierarchy, authority by value, and cost center
- Documents linked to cards, with a centralized history
- SLA that alerts about validity and renewals

## Frequently asked questions
