Solving Legal Bottlenecks at Scale
Before adopting Aline, Xevant's legal team struggled with the sheer volume of redlining work, which created bottlenecks in workflows and delayed crucial contract processes. According to the legal team, the manual redlining process was not only time-consuming but also prone to inefficiencies that hindered the company's ability to scale operations smoothly.
“The volume of paper crossing my desk was staggering; redlining a simple MNDA took up to 45 minutes of focused work. Now, I can do the same task in under two minutes,” said Xevant’s legal counsel. The need for a smarter, faster, and more scalable solution became evident as the company's growth trajectory introduced increasing complexity in contract management.

Aline AI Drastically Improves Xevant's Productivity
Xevant turned to Aline, drawn by the platform's AI-driven capabilities and intuitive design, which together offered a transformative solution to the company’s legal challenges. Among the features that stood out during the evaluation process were:
- Aline AI: The ability to draft, redline, negotiate, and analyze contracts through an intelligent assistant revolutionized Xevant's contract workflows. Aline AI not only expedited routine tasks but also provided critical insights into complex legal language and clauses.
- AI-Powered Analytics Tool: The analytics functionality allowed Xevant to create detailed reports, extract valuable insights from 1000s of agreements in realtime, and identify key clauses such as evergreen renewal terms with ease. Previously, Xevant was leveraging a top CLM to conduct this type of analysis, but that CLM tool fell short in the flexibility of analysis it allowed.
- Custom Playbooks and Workflows: Anastashia, from the Aline team, designed tailored playbooks and workflows during onboarding, enabling Xevant to operationalize the platform seamlessly.
- Streamlined Onboarding: Xevant described the onboarding experience as “10x easier than expected,” with the process completed in just one (1) week, ensuring the legal team was fully operational within days of implementation.
