Does this sound familiar? With every new unit, the number of contracts grows, and it becomes harder to keep track of them all.
With every new company, branch, or franchise location, the number of locations, files, and contracts grows. Without a standardized structure, headquarters can quickly lose track of deadlines, terms, and responsibilities.
Management
I don't have a complete overview of all the companies' contracts.

Finance
Across all our locations, we're missing deadlines and facing unintended delays.

Frequently asked questions
Is ContractHero suitable for holding companies and corporate groups?
Yes. ContractHero supports multi-client environments and maps out holding companies, corporate groups, and business groups comprising multiple companies. Each company is assigned its own separate data space; an access rights model governs access across the corporate hierarchy; and the holding company receives consolidated reports on the entire contract portfolio. This enables centralized control and decentralized management within a single platform, whether there are 3 or more than 10 companies.
How quickly can a new company or franchisee be set up?
New units can be set up in just a few minutes. Standardized templates and categories ensure that every new location operates according to the correct structures and standards from the very beginning. This way, even during rapid growth, no new siloed solutions emerge—instead, a common contractual framework is established.
Can multiple companies, locations, and access rights be mapped?
Yes. ContractHero maps multiple companies, locations, and roles onto a single platform. Central teams have an overview of the group, while individual units work only with the contracts relevant to them. Roles and permissions determine who can view, edit, or manage contracts.
Is ContractHero suitable for franchise and corporate structures?
Yes. ContractHero supports multiple clients and maps franchise structures, branch structures, and corporate groups with multiple companies. Each unit is assigned its own data space, while headquarters maintains an overview of all of them. This allows for centralized control and decentralized management to work together on a single platform.
What is multi-client capability in contract management?
Multi-client capability means that a software solution supports multiple companies or entities separately within a shared platform. Each entity is assigned its own data space with its own contracts and access rights, while a central authority maintains an overview of all of them. In contract management, this enables centralized control with decentralized administration, making it ideal for franchise structures, branch networks, and corporate groups.
