How Benjamin Moore Modernized Contract Management

Benjamin Moore faced a challenge many established companies know too well: managing contracts across multiple departments using disconnected legacy systems. Different teams had their own individual systems, making comprehensive oversight nearly impossible. For a premium paint brand operating at scale, this created serious bottlenecks.

See how they completely transformed a highly manual, inefficient process, making it easy (and actually enjoyable!) to collaborate on contracts across departments.

Vinted: Scaling Legal Without Adding Headcount

Europe's leading secondhand fashion marketplace went from Slack-based contracting chaos to 120 users across 12 sophisticated workflows—all managed by just two lawyers. "Ironclad almost looked too good to be true for us," says Senior Legal Counsel Kamile Valatkaitė. After struggling with a previous CLM where automation projects took half a year without achieving results, Vinted found a system that actually delivered. Users love the experience: "People are very pleasantly surprised how fast their workflows are completed now."
