Contract Lineage

See every contract family, from MSA to amendment.

Terms live across a master agreement, its statements of work and years of amendments. Contract Lineage links them automatically, so every clause is read in context and every supplier relationship is complete.

How it works

Linking you can trust.

Read the references

PacTerm reads how each SOW, amendment and order form refers back to its parent agreement.

Build the family

Related documents are grouped into contract families, from master agreement down to the latest change.

Review with confidence

Every link carries a confidence level, and anything uncertain is flagged for your review.

Capabilities

The whole relationship, in context.

Interactive lineage graph

Explore each contract family visually, from master agreement down to change orders and addenda.

Missing-parent flags

SOWs and amendments that reference an agreement you don’t have on file are flagged, so gaps get closed.
