What is Gatekeeper?
Gatekeeper is a Contract & Vendor Management Solution that promises to bring visibility and transparency to your contract and vendor sets. The vendor says Gatekeeper allows you to create a single source of truth with a central data repository, develop robust, scalable processes using automation and drive significant cost efficiencies.
The vendor promises the following four key benefit areas:
Cost reduction. A clear line of sight of all your contract arrangements enables you to identify wasted spend and areas for consolidation
Time saved. By reducing the amount of time spent on admin you free up people within your business to focus on other areas that add value. For instance, legal teams can spend more time on activity that requires their expertise rather than basic administration, which doesn’t.
Risk mitigation. Every business contract can bring with it some level of risk, whether it be legislative, financial or supply chain. By increasing visibility and helping to quantify those risks, Gatekeeper reduces the chance of any kind of failure or penalty.
Benefits realisation. Research shows that an average 50% of negotiated savings are never realised after a contract is signed. This is because of a lack of monitoring and oversight. Gatekeeper keeps you on track.

(1-1 of 1)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We have been using Gatekeeper for well over a year now. From having no contract management system of any kind, to going straight to Gatekeeper, is like being stuck in a snow storm without a jacket, to sitting on the beach somewhere drinking some sort of umbrella drink. We use Gatekeeper company wide. This is where we store all of our contracts, organized by our entities. This structure allows venue specific employees to see what's coming due for their venue/team, reminders that assists with unwanted auto-renewals, and allows the user to preview the contract or any other documents that were uploaded for that vendor.
- Customer service/support, they're always responsive and eager to jump on calls whenever we need their support. They've never once treated us as "paid invoice" and moved on. They build relationships there at Gatekeeper.
- They're innovative, improving on their product, when it is already a fantastic resource tool.
- They have the ability to customize features to fit your needs, that was one feature important to us.
- This might be more of a personal thing to me, rather than an issue for anyone else, but when I'm working on a specific vendor, with multiple contracts, I have to click the back arrow to get back out to the other contracts within that vendor. It would be helpful to have a feature that you could click on to take you back to that vendor where the other contracts are kept.

- Since using Gatekeeper we have a better understanding of what contracts we have, and with the customized Workflow they created for us, the contracts flow through the Pipeline based on our DOA. It's a smooth process from the start of redlining and finalizing to finishing it up with Gatekeepers digital e-signature feature.
- Contracts are not flying all over the place with no structure.
