Case Study: Home Chef achieves instant contract access and streamlined contract management with Concord

How Being Stuck on a Boat Led One Company to Contract Management Software

Home Chef, a Chicago-based meal-kit company delivering over 3 million meals a month, faced a serious contract management problem: important documents were scattered across personal desktops and only accessible to individual employees. A high-profile incident—when the head of Legal had to retrieve a contract while on a fishing trip because no shared copy existed—made clear that the company needed a centralized, secure way to store and access contracts.

In fall 2017 Home Chef adopted Concord’s cloud-based contract lifecycle management platform, creating a single repository with version control, shared access, online negotiation, e-signatures, and OCR search for legacy documents. With more than 1,400 contracts in the system, the legal team can now find any document in seconds, speed up contract turnaround, reduce single-person bottlenecks, and respond immediately to business needs.
