Gatekeeper is a vendor and contract lifecycle management platform that uniquely combines supplier relationship management with full contract lifecycle capabilities. Founded in London in 2015, Gatekeeper addresses the reality that contracts and vendor relationships are inseparable—you can't manage contracts effectively without managing the vendors they govern. The platform provides contract creation from templates, multi-stakeholder collaboration and approval workflows, eSignature integration, and a searchable contract repository. The vendor management module maintains supplier profiles, contact information, performance data, compliance documents, and risk assessments alongside related contracts. Gatekeeper's AI Contract Assistant (GAIA) extracts key terms, identifies risk clauses, and answers questions about contract content. Renewal management provides advance notice of upcoming expirations with automated workflows. The Kanban-style contract pipeline gives visual visibility into where each contract is in its lifecycle. Performance management tracks vendor KPIs and contract obligations over time. Integration with procurement systems, ERP platforms, and business applications connects contract data to broader business processes. Gatekeeper is particularly popular with procurement teams that see vendor management and contract management as unified disciplines. Its combination of CLM and vendor management in a single platform reduces tool sprawl. The platform serves mid-market to enterprise customers across technology, retail, financial services, and manufacturing.
