What happened

Heineken uses Ironclad as a single global contracting platform across its operating companies, with flexible templates and approval chains for sales and procurement contracts. It gives teams visibility into contract status and structured, searchable contract data after signature.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Ironclad and Heineken, not ours.

  • 45 countries“By early 2026, Ironclad was live across roughly 40 operating companies in 45 countries, spanning sales, legal, finance, and IT.”

Cycle time for sales contracts in Brazil dropped by roughly 50%, and legal’s need to be directly involved in those deals fell by a similar margin—not because legal cared less, but because the process no longer depended on someone chasing it manually.

When contract data is structured and searchable, you can make better decisions. You can answer questions in minutes rather than days. You can identify risks, and you have more opportunities for the business.
