G-CONTRATS (Albatec) is a contract lifecycle management tool built for legal and procurement teams. Paecto is a contract tracker built for the operational manager who just wants to never miss a deadline.
Paecto
An operations manager just wants to know which maintenance contract expires next and to be pinged before it does.
G-CONTRATS
G-CONTRATS gives them a full workflow with validation steps they don't need — they want one screen and a list.
Paecto
Upload a maintenance PDF. Paecto extracts dates, provider, amount and asset in 10 seconds.
G-CONTRATS
Open the contract entry form. Type each field manually. Attach the PDF as a separate document.
Paecto
Alerts pre-fired 90, 30, 15 and 7 days before expiry, on WhatsApp and email.
G-CONTRATS
Email reminders sent at the date you typed in, if someone remembered to set the reminder.
Paecto
Co-existence works: keep G-CONTRATS for procurement contracts that need workflow, Paecto for the operational ones that just need tracking.
G-CONTRATS
G-CONTRATS stays the source of truth for the legal layer; Paecto adds the alert layer on top.
G-CONTRATS shines when there's a legal team and a procurement workflow. Three setups where Paecto is the right call instead.
30 contracts: insurance, maintenance, leases, SaaS. The legal team is the founder and their accountant. They don't need a CLM — they need a list and alerts. Paecto, two screens of setup.
Each unit has its tenant lease, PNO insurance, boiler maintenance and syndic charges. G-CONTRATS isn't built for asset-tied contracts. Paecto links each contract to the right asset and surfaces the next expiry per unit.
Décennale, tool warranties, vehicle insurance. One person, one phone. They want WhatsApp alerts, not a workflow. Paecto fits the tool-belt; G-CONTRATS would be overkill.
Keep G-CONTRATS as your CLM source of truth. Paecto becomes the alert + extraction layer on top — co-existence, not replacement.
G-CONTRATS supports CSV export from the contracts module. Pull the list of contracts you actively need to track (you can leave the legal-process ones behind).
Drop the CSV in. Paecto maps the columns to provider, dates, amounts and asset. Take 30 seconds to fix anything it guessed wrong.
Pick the channels (email, WhatsApp) and the lead times (90/30/15/7 days). The next expiry now pings you — G-CONTRATS keeps the legal trail, Paecto handles the heartbeat.
G-CONTRATS requires onboarding and admin training. Paecto is usable in 5 minutes — no workflow setup, no roles to configure.
G-CONTRATS pricing fits a legal team's budget. Paecto is free up to 3 assets, and €4.99/mo on the Personal plan above.
G-CONTRATS sends email reminders. Paecto sends WhatsApp + email, with configurable 90/30/15/7-day windows.
G-CONTRATS expects you to type contract data into forms. Paecto reads the PDF and pre-fills everything via AI extraction.
G-CONTRATS is French-only. Paecto runs in FR, EN, ES, IT and PT out of the box.
For maintenance, insurance and asset-tied contracts, you don't need a full CLM — you need alerts. That's what Paecto is.
