CLM, eSign, and DMS built as one system, not three

Contracts & Documents is the only solution in SutiERP that combines contract lifecycle management, eSignature, and document management natively. All three are part of the same product architecture. A contract drafted in SutiCLM is signed with SutiSign and stored in SutiDMS without leaving the platform or breaking the audit trail.

Contract Lifecycle Management

Authoring, workflow, negotiation, and obligation tracking

eSignature

Legally binding signatures, built into the contract record

Document Management

Centralised storage, version control, and access governance

AI Intelligence Layer

Across all three products

From first draft to executed record, without leaving the platform

Each process spans multiple products but runs as a single workflow inside SutiERP. The step tables below show what happens at each stage, which product handles it, and where AI or agentic automation acts. Full step-by-step detail lives on each dedicated process page.

1

Contract request

SutiCLM

Request form triggers the correct template automatically based on contract type, counterparty, and jurisdiction rules. AI flags incomplete or non-standard requests before authoring begins.

2

Authoring and clause selection

SutiCLM

AI suggests pre-approved clause language based on contract type and risk profile. Deviation from standard clauses is flagged for legal review automatically.

3

Internal review and redlines

SutiCLM

Workflow routes the draft to the configured approvers in sequence. Redlines and comments are tracked inside the platform with full version history. No external mark-up tools required.

4

Counterparty negotiation

SutiCLM

Counterparty redlines are imported and compared against the approved clause library. AI identifies non-standard language and surfaces fallback positions for legal review.

5

eSignature

SutiSign

Signature request sends directly from the contract record. SutiSign is native, so no export or upload is required. Signed document returns to the CLM record automatically with a complete audit trail.

6

Storage and obligation tracking

SutiDMS+SutiCLM

Executed contract stores in SutiDMS with metadata, version history, and access controls intact. SutiCLM activates obligation tracking immediately: renewal dates, payment milestones, and compliance deadlines enter the monitoring queue.

7

Renewal and expiry management

SutiCLM

Agentic AI sends renewal alerts at configured lead times. Contracts approaching expiry without a renewal in progress escalate to the contract owner automatically.

Document Request to Approval

Document creation request through authoring, review, approval, publishing, and controlled distribution — with access governance and version control active throughout.

1

Contract request

SutiCLM

The request triggers the correct document template based on type and department. AI checks for existing documents that may satisfy the request before a new one is created.

2

Authoring

SutiDMS

The document is authored inside the platform with version control active from the first save. Prior versions are retained and accessible throughout the lifecycle.

3

Review and approval

SutiDMS

Routes the document to configured reviewers in sequence. Comments and revisions are tracked in the platform. Approval status is visible to all stakeholders without email chasing.

4

eSignature (where required)

SutiSign

Documents requiring authorisation signatures route to SutiSign natively. The signed document returns to the DMS record with audit trail intact.

5

Publishing and distribution

SutiDMS

Approved documents publish to the configured audience with role-based access controls. Distribution is tracked, and acknowledgement can be required per document type.

6

Version and expiry management

SutiDMS

Agentic AI flags documents approaching their review or expiry date. Superseded versions are archived automatically. Users accessing a document always see the current approved version.

The AI layer inside Contracts & Documents

SutiCLM, SutiSign, SutiDMS, and SutiDAnalytics each carry AI capabilities relevant to their function. All are built into the platform and require no separate integration or license.

SutiCLM

Contract intelligence & risk detection

AI accelerates authoring, flags non-standard language, and keeps obligation tracking active without manual monitoring. Legal and commercial teams spend less time on process and more on substance.

SutiSign

Native eSignature with full audit trail

SutiSign is built into SutiCLM and SutiDMS, not connected via API. Contracts and documents that require signature never leave the platform, and the full signing audit trail attaches to the record automatically.

SutiDMS

Document control & access governance

SutiDMS manages the full document lifecycle from creation to archival. Version control, access permissions, and expiry monitoring run automatically without manual administration.

Agentic AI

What the platform does without being asked

SutiERP takes defined actions automatically across Contracts & Documents based on rules, thresholds, and deadlines — without requiring a person to trigger them.

Audit-ready by design

Contracts & Documents in SutiERP is built for businesses where contract execution and document handling are subject to audit, regulatory review, or legal scrutiny. Every action in the system is logged. Nothing requires manual record-keeping to satisfy a compliance requirement.

SOC 1 & SOC 2 Type II certified

Data security and financial controls independently audited annually. All AI actions and system-generated changes carry a full, tamper-proof audit trail.

ISO 9001:2015

Quality management processes certified across the platform. Relevant for document control requirements in regulated industries.

HIPAA

Relevant for healthcare organizations where contracts and documents reference patient data, covered entities, or business associate agreements.

GDPR

EU counterparty and employee data handled correctly inside the platform. Relevant for businesses with European operations or cross-border contracting.

eSignature legal compliance

SutiSign meets eIDAS (EU), ESIGN Act (US), and UETA (US) requirements for legally binding electronic signatures.

Access controls

Every contract version, approval action, signature event, and obligation update carries a full, timestamped record accessible for internal and external audit.

We replaced a separate BI tool with SutiDAnalytics and have not looked back. Our finance team stopped exporting data to build reports. The cross-platform view of workforce costs against procurement spend was something we could not build before without a data warehouse project. Agentic workflows now handle the approval routing and escalations that used to require manual follow-up every day.

Walk through your current contract process with the team

Most conversations start with a look at where contracts currently sit and how renewals and obligations are being tracked. From there it is straightforward to show which modules close the gaps.
