Transforming Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) with Brooklyn’s Digital Platform

Transforming Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) with Brooklyn’s Digital Platform

Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) sits at the heart of modern business operations. From procurement and compliance to finance and legal, contracts govern every transaction, obligation, and risk. Yet despite their critical nature, many organisations still manage contracts using static PDFs, siloed systems, and manual processes.

Brooklyn’s AI-powered, off-the-shelf CLM solution changes that—bringing visibility, control, and efficiency to every stage of the contract lifecycle, from pre-contract engagement to post-signature performance.

What is Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM)?

CLM is the end-to-end process of managing contracts from initiation and negotiation through to execution, monitoring, renewal, and closure. A strong CLM strategy ensures that:

  • Contracts are standardised and compliant.

  • Key terms and obligations are tracked.

  • Risks are proactively managed.

  • Renewals and renegotiations are not missed.

  • Supplier and stakeholder relationships are properly documented and aligned.

Poor CLM can lead to financial loss, missed opportunities, and compliance breaches.

How Brooklyn Enhances the CLM Process

Brooklyn offers a turnkey platform that digitises and automates every phase of CLM—ideal for organisations seeking a scalable solution without lengthy implementation.

1. Pre-Contract: Intake, Authoring and Collaboration

The CLM process starts long before signatures are applied. Brooklyn enables cross-functional teams to:

  • Submit and triage contract intake requests with configurable workflows.

  • Use clause libraries and approved templates for faster drafting.

  • Collaborate on redlines and negotiations in real-time with internal and external stakeholders.

  • Maintain a full audit trail of edits, comments, and approvals.

Legal teams can focus on risk and terms instead of version control or email chains.

2. Contract Execution and Signature

Once terms are agreed, Brooklyn makes execution seamless through:

  • Native e-signature integrations (DocuSign, Adobe Sign, etc.)

  • Auto-generated signature workflows based on contract type or value

  • Validation checks to ensure all required data and attachments are included

This helps shorten sales cycles and enforce compliance during execution.

3. AI-Powered Analysis and Risk Detection

Brooklyn scans and analyses contracts to:

  • Extract key dates, values, and clauses

  • Flag unusual terms or missing compliance language

  • Score risk based on custom or regulatory criteria

This allows legal and procurement teams to review contracts faster and more accurately, both during drafting and after signing.

4. Post-Execution Storage and Search

Say goodbye to lost contracts or email chains. Brooklyn offers:

  • A secure, cloud-based contract archive

  • Full-text search and smart filtering

  • Categorisation by department, supplier, or risk level

This ensures business users and auditors can retrieve any contract within seconds.

5. Performance and Obligation Tracking

Contracts contain commitments that must be met. Brooklyn enables users to:

  • Set automated reminders for renewals and deliverables

  • Track Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

  • Generate alerts for missed obligations or approaching deadlines

This keeps teams aligned and ensures critical deliverables are not missed.

6. Compliance and Audit Readiness

Brooklyn supports regulatory requirements across industries, including GDPR, SOX, EBA, and ISO standards. It captures:

  • Every user action

  • Contract version history

  • Timestamped approval logs

Auditors get clear, traceable records without the manual prep work.
