In today’s digital-first business landscape, speed and precision are everything. Yet, companies across industries still rely on outdated, manual approval processes to manage deals and contracts. These inefficient workflows result in delayed approvals, stalled revenue, interdepartmental friction, and missed opportunities. If you’re spending more time chasing signatures and status updates than closing deals, it’s time to embrace a smarter way.
Legitt AI is a next-generation, AI-native deal and contract lifecycle platform built to eliminate bottlenecks and drive faster, smarter approvals across every stage of the process. From initial proposal to final signature, Legitt brings automation, intelligence, and collaboration into a single, unified workspace.
The Cost of Manual Approval Processes
1. Delayed Revenue Recognition
Manual approvals introduce unnecessary lag. Sales teams send documents via email, wait on legal for redlines, and rely on manual follow-ups. Each day a contract sits idle in someone’s inbox translates to lost revenue and reduced cash flow.
2. Lack of Visibility and Accountability
Manual workflows are opaque. Stakeholders struggle to identify who has the ball, what’s holding up a deal, or when the last action occurred. This lack of transparency breeds inefficiency and frustration.
3. Increased Legal and Compliance Risks
Without structured approvals, there’s no audit trail. Contracts may be signed without proper oversight, exposing the business to non-compliance, risk, or unfavorable terms. Manual systems often lack version control, approval logs, or clause validation.
4. Burnout and Bottlenecks in Legal Teams
Legal departments are overwhelmed by routine contract reviews. The result? Slow turnaround times, overwhelmed attorneys, and a reputation for being the bottleneck in business operations.
Why Legitt AI is the Better Way
Legitt AI redefines how modern businesses handle deal and contract approvals. It doesn’t just digitize the workflow; it automates and optimizes it using built-in intelligence and seamless integrations.
1. Automated, Multi-Step Approval Workflows
Legitt allows you to configure dynamic approval chains based on contract type, value, risk, or department. For example:
- A standard NDA might auto-approve based on pre-set rules.
- A high-value SaaS agreement may route to legal, finance, and the COO in parallel.
Customizable workflows ensure the right people review the right documents – without delay.
2. Real-Time Status Tracking and Dashboards
Forget chasing updates. With Legitt, every stakeholder has instant visibility into:
- Current status of contracts
- Who has approved or rejected
- Pending actions and overdue steps
- Time lapsed at each stage
Dashboards provide data-driven insights that help identify patterns and recurring delays.
3. Smart Notifications and Escalations
Legitt eliminates the need for manual reminders. Approvers are automatically notified when action is needed, and follow-up reminders ensure nothing falls through the cracks. If an approver is unavailable, tasks can be escalated to backup stakeholders.
4. Parallel Approvals for Speed
Why wait for sequential reviews? Legitt supports parallel approvals, enabling legal, finance, and compliance to review simultaneously. This accelerates the approval cycle and reduces cross-departmental delays.
5. AI-Powered Clause Analysis and Risk Flagging
Before approvals begin, Legitt’s AI scans the contract and extracts key terms, clause risks, and deviations from standard language. Approvers get a smart summary highlighting what matters most:
- Red-flag clauses (e.g., indemnity, jurisdiction)
- Non-standard payment terms
- Missing or conflicting language
This allows faster, informed decision-making without reading the full contract.
6. Version Control and Audit Trails
Every action in Legitt is logged. Whether it’s a comment, an edit, or an approval, the platform tracks:
- Who made the change
- When it occurred
- What was changed
These audit trails provide legal defensibility and compliance transparency.
7. eSign + Approval Integration
Once a contract is approved, Legitt seamlessly pushes it to signature using native eSign or third-party integrations like DocuSign or Adobe Sign. No need to switch platforms or re-upload files.

- Average time per approver
- Departments with most rejections
- Contracts with most redlines
These insights drive continuous improvement.
10. Secure, Role-Based Access Control
Sensitive documents stay secure with role-based access, encryption, and permissioned workflows. Only authorized users can view, edit, or approve based on predefined roles.

FAQs
How does Legitt AI improve approval timelines?
Legitt automates approval workflows and removes manual touchpoints, dramatically reducing the time it takes to get contracts approved. Stakeholders receive real-time alerts and can approve documents directly in-platform, eliminating email delays. Parallel approvals allow multiple departments to review simultaneously. Over time, the platform identifies bottlenecks and suggests optimizations. This results in 30–50% faster contract cycles.
Can we set different approval paths for different contract types?
Yes, Legitt allows full customization of workflows based on contract type, deal value, region, risk score, or any metadata. For example, an NDA might follow a simple auto-approve flow, while a custom MSA could involve legal, procurement, and the CFO. These workflows are easy to configure using visual logic. Templates can be saved and reused across the organization. This flexibility ensures compliance without slowing the business.
Is Legitt secure for handling sensitive agreements?
Absolutely. Legitt uses enterprise-grade security protocols including data encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, audit logs, and secure cloud infrastructure. Access to documents is permissioned based on user roles. You can also configure document expiration, watermarking, and restricted sharing settings. It complies with standards like GDPR and SOC 2.
How does Legitt support legal teams?
Legitt reduces the burden on legal by enabling self-service contracting through approved templates and fallback clauses. Legal reviewers can focus only on red-flagged issues identified by AI. It provides a central dashboard to manage workload, assign reviews, and monitor progress. Audit trails and version control ensure legal has full oversight. This shifts legal from bottleneck to enabler.
Can Legitt integrate with our CRM or ERP?
Yes. Legitt integrates with CRMs like Salesforce, HubSpot, and ERPs like SAP or Oracle. Integration allows deal data to flow into Legitt, triggering appropriate contract workflows. Approval statuses and contract metadata can be pushed back into your systems. This enables a seamless lead-to-cash or procure-to-pay lifecycle.
What types of contracts can be managed in Legitt?
Legitt supports a wide range of contracts including NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, Sales Agreements, Procurement Contracts, Employment Agreements, and more. You can upload your own templates or use the pre-built clause library. Contracts can be created from scratch, uploaded, or generated dynamically. The platform is adaptable for legal, sales, HR, and procurement teams.
How does Legitt handle version control and redlines?
Legitt tracks every document version with full change history. Users can compare versions, view redlines, and accept/reject suggestions within the platform. Comments are threaded and tagged. All actions are logged with timestamps for compliance and traceability. You never lose track of who made what change.
Can Legitt suggest alternative clauses when one is rejected?
Yes. If a clause is flagged or rejected, Legitt suggests pre-approved fallback language from your clause library. This enables sales or procurement to revise and proceed without waiting on legal. Fallbacks are tied to risk rules and business logic, ensuring consistency and compliance. It accelerates negotiation without compromising standards.
What kind of reporting does Legitt provide?
Legitt offers robust analytics dashboards that show contract cycle time, bottlenecks, approval timelines by department, top reasons for rejection, and more.
