FOX Factory more than doubles legal team efficiency with Lexion AI-powered contract management

The problem

FOX Factory had no formal contract management process, with contracts scattered across disorganized shared drives and employee inboxes, causing lost legal requests, deals stuck in a 'legal black hole', and practically impossible draft management and version control.

First attempt

FOX Factory's first attempt at solving the problem was an enterprise contract management system whose awkward interface and clumsy workflows led to low company-wide adoption and rendered it ineffective. Over the years, several other systems were also tried without success.
