SPREADSHEET VS. CONTRACTSORTED
Your spreadsheet
knows the dates you typed.
ContractSorted reads the contract.
Most small businesses run their contracts on a spreadsheet and a shared drive. It works, until the person who maintains it is busy, or leaves. Here’s what changes.
| What you need | Spreadsheet & shared drive | ContractSorted |
|---|---|---|
| Getting dates in | Someone types every date, notice period and value in by hand | Read from the contract when it arrives, with the page it came from |
| Notice deadlines | A formula, if anyone set one up | Found in every contract, with its wording, an owner and a decision |
| Reminders | None, unless you build them in a calendar | Email before every deadline and commitment, plus a weekly digest |
| Obligations | Rarely tracked at all | Found, assigned, scheduled and recorded when done |
| Finding a clause | Open each PDF and search, one by one | One search across every page, by word or by meaning |
| Appendices & emails | Separate files in separate folders | Kept with the contract, read together |
| Who can see what | Everyone with the link, or nobody | Teams, read-only access and confidential contracts |
| When someone leaves | Their knowledge leaves too | Owners reassigned; history kept |
| Totals and reports | Rebuilt every time someone asks | Live dashboards, Excel export in one click |
| Cost | Free, plus the hours, plus the missed renewals | From $45 a month for the whole company |
You don’t have to
throw the spreadsheet away.
Import it. Map its columns to ContractSorted’s fields once, and every row becomes a contract with its counterparty, dates and values. Then attach the files as you find them: each one is read, and anything you imported stays as you had it.
Read: from spreadsheet to sorted in one afternoon →AND THE BIG CONTRACT SYSTEMS?
Built for legal departments.
Priced like it.
Enterprise contract lifecycle software handles drafting, negotiation, approvals and signatures for companies with in-house lawyers. It usually comes with a sales process, an onboarding project and per-seat pricing. If you don’t draft contracts all day, you’re paying for a workflow you won’t use.
ContractSorted does one thing for small businesses: it makes sure you know what’s in the contracts you’ve signed, and that someone acts on them in time. You can start this afternoon, without a call.
