New protections against unapproved vendors, enhanced contract collaboration, and admin-saving features across the platform.
Gatekeeper’s April product update delivers key innovations designed to help businesses protect themselves from unapproved vendor risk, speed up contract review, and streamline administrative tasks across the board. From new compliance safeguards to smarter workflow controls, this release continues our mission to reduce risk and simplify complex vendor and contract processes.
Contract Signing Safeguards for Unapproved Vendors
Gain complete control and oversight over who your teams contract with, safeguarding your organisation from risky or non-compliant vendors.
Prevent unauthorised engagements before they happen. Ensure that contracts are only signed with approved, vetted vendors to maintain compliance and reduce legal and operational risk.
A new in-platform safeguard triggers a warning when users attempt to eSign with an unapproved vendor. Overrides are logged for full auditability, giving teams a transparent trail for governance.

Smarter Vendor & Contract Record Creation
Ensure every vendor and contract record starts with a clear structure, reducing friction and improving collaboration from day one.
Speed up onboarding, minimise manual setup, and create consistent, secure record structures across your organisation.
Admins can now apply standard folder structures automatically when creating a vendor or contract record.
➡️ How to set up folder structures
PDF Contract Review — Without the Workarounds
Speed up collaborative contract negotiation by working directly with third-party PDFs.
Accelerate your review cycles, eliminate unnecessary file conversions, and simplify collaboration with suppliers who use PDFs.
Upload, edit, and version PDF contracts natively within Gatekeeper’s workflow, with AI Extract supporting eNegotiation in both Word and PDF formats.
Safer, Smarter Workflow Transitions
Ensure your workflows are consistently configured to avoid bottlenecks and mistakes.
Reduce risk of misconfiguration and save time by simplifying how transitions between workflow stages are managed.
Warnings are now shown when switching from advanced to simple transitions, and all transitions now auto-save to remove friction.
Manage Vendor Users with Greater Visibility
Get clear visibility and better control over your vendor contacts.
Keep your contact database clean and compliant while making it easier to manage vendor relationships.
A new Vendor Users tab helps you manage, organise, and maintain clean, compliant vendor records with the same ease as internal user management.
