The contract problem

The information you need may be buried across multiple pages

Contracts can contain the right information across many pages, clauses and sections, making repeated review slow when the same terms must be collected again and again.

Contract data extraction lets you define the information you want to retrieve and return those terms as structured fields instead of searching each agreement manually. If you are deciding when that shift makes sense, our guide to manual data entry vs automated document extraction explains the trade-offs in more detail. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see our guide on how to extract data from contracts using AI.

Contract fields

Start with contract fields, then adapt the extraction to your agreement

Choose Contract as the document type and use suggested fields as a starting point. Edit them freely or add the terms your team actually reviews. For agreements that need a completely different structure, Custom Data Extraction lets you define the schema from scratch.

Flexible extraction

A contract can contain dozens of possible data points

Your workflow may only need a specific subset of the information inside an agreement. Keep common fields or add the clauses and terms that matter to your team.

01
Capture common contract terms

Merchant, date, contract_value, payment_terms, payment method and line items.

02
Add agreement-specific fields

Notice period, governing law, liability cap, service level, project reference or internal code.

03
Return structured information

Use the selected data as JSON or CSV instead of copying it manually.

Notice period Governing law Liability cap Internal reference

Different agreements

Extract the terms you need across different contract types

Service agreements, vendor contracts and legal documents can vary widely in wording and layout. The output your team needs can still remain consistent. This is one reason AI document data extraction is useful when documents do not follow one rigid template.

Service agreement

Merchant details, product lines, contract_value and payment_terms.

Vendor contract

Items, contract_values, tips, payment_terms and payment details.

Legal agreement

Service details, reference numbers, dates and payment_terms.

Structured outputs

Turn contract PDFs into JSON or CSV

Use extracted contract fields outside the original document by exporting selected information in a structured format.

Contract to JSON

Use JSON when extracted contract data needs to feed an application, database, API or another automated workflow.

Contract Parser

Extract selected contract terms instead of searching the document manually

Contract Parser helps read text from scanned or photographed contracts. But the useful output is often a specific set of values, not the full contract text.

Heyyel Data Extractor uses document recognition when needed, then organizes the result around the fields you requested. The difference between these two stages is explained in our guide to OCR vs data extraction.

Contract review workflow

Reduce repetitive contract lookup

When the same information needs to be collected from many agreements, searching every document manually quickly becomes repetitive.

Manual contract review

1
Open the agreement

Read the merchant, date, products and payment_terms.

2
Record the values

Copy dates, parties, values and conditions into another file.

3
Repeat for the next agreement

Perform the same contract lookup for every new agreement.

With contract data extraction

1
Define the contract fields

Select common contract data or add your own terms.

2
Extract selected information

Retrieve the terms around the structure you defined.

3
Use structured outputs

Export the result as JSON or CSV for the next step in your workflow.

Contract use cases

Structure contract data around different business needs

Contract registers

Create a structured view of important information across multiple agreements.

  • Contract title
  • Parties
  • Effective date
  • Notice period
  • Renewal method

Renewal tracking

Work with item-level contract information instead of payment_terms alone.

  • Renewal date
  • Notice period
  • Expiration date
  • Renewal terms
  • Line payment_terms

Commercial review

Retrieve financial and operational terms without reading every section manually.

  • Liability cap
  • Governing law
  • Internal reference
  • Fees
  • Custom business terms

Contract workflows often sit beside procurement and finance documents. If the same process also handles supplier billing or account activity, you can apply the same extraction approach to invoices and bank statements. If you want the product flow from upload through field configuration, review and export, the How It Works guide shows each step.
