On the sell side, the contract starts from the deal. Contractflow takes the customer, products, prices and term from the opportunity in Salesforce or the quote in ServiceNow CRM, drafts from your approved template, and routes it through review, approval and signature. Definition ## What is quote to contract? Quote to contract is the sell side of contracting: the steps from an approved quote or opportunity to a signed customer agreement, through drafting, negotiation, legal review, approval and signature. It breaks where buy side contracting breaks: at the handoff. The deal lives in the CRM, the contract is drafted somewhere else, and prices, discounts and special terms are copied by hand. [Contractflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/enterprise-contract-management-software/) starts the contract from the deal instead. - The contract starts from the opportunity or quote, not a blank template - Aavenir AI checks the draft against your playbook before legal sees it - Approvals follow the deal's value and deviations; signature runs in DocuSign, Adobe Sign or Conga Sign - After signature, the commitments and renewal date sit on the same record Why it leaks ## Where a deal's terms get lost. ### Deal and contract apart The quote lives in the CRM. The contract starts in Word or in an email thread. ### Terms retyped Prices, discounts and special terms are copied into a template, and some do not survive. ### Legal sees it late Nonstandard terms surface at the end of the quarter, when there is no time left to negotiate. ### Promises forgotten Service levels and credits promised to the customer are not tracked once the deal is signed. How it works ## One customer deal, quote to signature. - From the opportunity in Salesforce, or the quote in ServiceNow CRM, the rep requests the contract. Customer, products, prices and term come across, so nobody rekeys them. - Contractflow builds the draft from the approved customer template and clause library. Aavenir AI checks it against your playbook and suggests your fallback language where the deal departs from standard. - Discounts, nonstandard terms and large deals route to the right approvers by rule. Negotiation happens in Word with the Aavenir add-in, and every version stays on the record. - The approved contract goes out through DocuSign, Adobe Sign or Conga Sign, and the signed copy returns to the record. Obligationflow then tracks the service levels, credits and renewal date you agreed. Questions ## Talk to a contract expert Bring a recent customer deal.

Quote to contract is the sell side of contracting: turning an approved quote or opportunity into a signed customer agreement, through drafting, negotiation, legal review, approval and signature. It is where pricing, discounts and special terms move from the sales system into the contract. [See Contractflow](https://aavenir.com/solutions/enterprise-contract-management-software/). ### ### Does Aavenir work with Salesforce? Yes. Sales teams can create and track contracts inside Salesforce, so an agreement starts from the opportunity without switching systems and the contract keeps the deal data. Teams on ServiceNow CRM get the same flow, starting from the quote. [See every integration](https://aavenir.com/integrations/). ### ### How is sell side contracting different from buy side? Buy side contracts are the agreements you sign with suppliers, usually after a sourcing event. Sell side contracts are the agreements you sign with customers, usually after a quote. Aavenir runs both on one contract record, with the same templates, review, approvals and obligation tracking. [See the contract suite](https://aavenir.com/solutions/aavenir-contract-suite/). ### ### Can legal review sales contracts without slowing the deal? Aavenir AI reads each draft against your playbook and suggests fallback language before legal sees it, so reviewers spend their time only on the terms that need a decision. Approvals route by rule, and the rep can see where the contract is at every step. [See contract review](https://aavenir.com/solutions/contract-review/). Have a question we have not answered?
