Overview

Gatekeeper is a unified Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) and vendor/third-party risk management platform aimed at procurement, finance and legal teams that need to manage contracts and supplier relationships together rather than in separate systems. It combines contract drafting, redlining, e-signature and obligation tracking with vendor onboarding, risk screening, compliance monitoring and spend analysis.

The platform organises functionality around contract management (AI-assisted clause suggestions and summaries, guard-railed approval workflows, e-signature), vendor risk and compliance (automated onboarding, financial/cybersecurity/sanctions screening, balanced scorecards), and spend management (contract-level spend tracking, renewal and vendor-consolidation identification). Gatekeeper also offers a set of AI agents, branded LuminIQ, that automate repetitive contract and vendor administration tasks such as data extraction and renewal reminders.

Gatekeeper integrates with ERP, CRM and finance systems -- most notably as a Built for NetSuite-certified SuiteApp -- plus e-signature (DocuSign), CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot) and productivity tools (Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive), and connects to additional business applications via Zapier and its own API/webhooks.
