Contract lifecycle portal

A contract lifecycle portal is where contract owners submit agreements for legal review, legal approves or rejects each one with a reason on the record, and a reminder goes out before a contract renews.

What is a contract lifecycle portal?

A contract lifecycle portal is where contract owners submit agreements for legal review, legal approves or rejects each one with a reason on the record, and a reminder goes out before a contract renews. It follows the Requests pattern: someone submits, someone decides, it moves through statuses. Pory generates it from a plain-English description, with a login for each role (contract owner and legal counsel) that shows only what that role should see, and flat pricing with unlimited contract owners.

What it does

01

Legal approves or rejects each contract, and says why on it

Contracts used to reach legal as forwarded email attachments, and approvals came back as "fine by me" with no note of what was checked. Legal counsel sees every contract on a board by status, opens one, reads the attached file, and approves or rejects it, writing the reason on the record. The contract owner reads the answer on their contract instead of chasing legal in the corridor.

02

Legal hears about a renewal date before the notice period slips by

Auto-renewals used to be noticed on the credit card statement, a year too late to cancel. Each contract carries its renewal date, and legal gets a reminder in their portal inbox and by email before it arrives, naming the contract and the date. There's time to renegotiate or give notice, instead of another year of a tool nobody opens.

The parts every portal is built from

Pory generates a portal from these pieces and wires the permissions between them. The same parts run a grant round, a help desk, and a tenant portal — only the names on the pages change.

Collect

Forms

Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.

Public pages

An application page, a notice board, an open directory — pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.

Self sign-up

People create their own account and land in the role you chose for them.

File attachments

Upload and view files on the record they belong to — not in a folder named FINAL v2.

Decide

Approve / reject with a reason

Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.

Status tracker

“Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.

Board by status

Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.

Checklists

Task lists ticked off per record, in its detail view, with progress — onboarding runs, inspections, opening duties.

Assign to a person

Name who a record is for and it lands on their list, and nobody else's.

Notes & scores

A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note — kept on the record it belongs to, never lost in a thread.

Reminders by date

Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.

Share

Tables

Search, filters, sorting, inline add and edit — the spreadsheet, minus the sharing accident.

People directory

Portraits, names, and roles from a table, shown only to the roles allowed to see them.

Calendar

Records on a month or week view, by date.

Gallery & image grid

Records as cards or photos.

Detail view with related items

Open a unit, a pet or a listing to see its details and everything tied to it — requests, visits, offers. Share it by link; edit, change the status or add a related item from there.

Notices & info pages

Check-in details, benefits, updates — a page for a role to read.

Counts, totals & averages

Live figures over the records a viewer is allowed to see.

Control

Who sees which records

Each person sees their own records, the ones assigned to them, their team's or the ones they manage. Fields can be hidden per role. Generated from your description, not set up field by field.

No-Password Doors

A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.

Your brand

Your domain, your colours, your logo. Members see you.
