If the dozens of case studies on our website aren’t enough to convince you that we do what we say, why not put us to the test?
A trial lets you experience what it’s like to use Nomio as a paying customer. There’s no ‘sample data’ or pre-prepared demo environment. Instead, we give you a fully functioning repository that’s built from your actual contract data.
We’ll get you to provide us with a sample of 10-15 documents. These can include:
Our team will then review your documents to understand how your agreements are structured and what patterns emerge.
By looking through your contracts, we start to build context around how your business operates: which terms are common, which are unusual, and what information might be valuable to surface.
We then host a short discovery call to better understand your business needs and shape the trial around your goals.
We’ll start by asking a few questions about how you manage contracts today, what’s not working, and what you’re hoping to get out of the trial.
From there, we’ll walk you through a tailored list of data points we think might be valuable to track, based on what we've seen in your contracts.
You’ll have the chance to tell us which ones are useful, which aren’t, and highlight any other pieces of information that would be useful to include. This helps us focus the trial on the things that matter most to you.
Using everything we’ve learned from the discovery call, we’ll process your documents and build a fully structured trial repository for you in Nomio.
You won’t be asked to configure anything or input data yourself — our team takes care of everything, just as we would for a real customer. This includes:
Once your repository is ready, we’ll run a short demo to walk you through what we’ve built. You’ll see how your contracts have been structured, which data points we’ve captured, and how to get the most out of Nomio.
After the demo, we’ll activate your trial account for a full week, with all the features and same support our paying customers receive. At the end of the trial, we’ll arrange a decision call to decide whether you want to move ahead with Nomio.
If you think a document is too messy, too complex, or too non-standard — upload it.
There’s no point trialling a contract repository on clean, templated agreements. The only way to know if it works is to see how it handles the real-world complexity of contracts.
That includes poorly scanned PDFs, unusual or complicated clause structures, and agreements split across multiple linked or interdependent documents.
We want you to evaluate Nomio thoroughly. That means:
In short: try to break Nomio.
This is the best way to test how deep we really go when it comes to data quality. The more scrutiny you apply, the more confidence you’ll have in what we’ve built (or the faster we’ll be able to improve it).
This reflects how we work with real customers. The more our customers use Nomio, the more we learn about their business and adjust their setup in real time based on evolving preferences or requirements. The trial is no different.
We recommend starting with just the people who’ve been involved in the trial process from the outset.
Bringing in wider teams too early (especially without context) can lead to confusion. People might assume it’s a finished implementation, expect to see a specific piece of information represented a certain way, or misunderstand what’s being shown.
Once you've had a chance to explore the trial yourself, we’re happy to help bring others in and answer all their questions directly.
Our trial process is deliberately light-touch for you. We lean heavily on our own judgement to structure your repository, so you’re not burdened with decisions or setup tasks.
That has a side effect: some things might not be captured the way you’d want long term. You might wish a clause was captured differently, or that we’d included a data point specific to your industry.
This isn’t because we can’t do it — it’s because the goal is to demonstrate Nomio’s capabilities, without the process demanding much input from you.
If you become a customer, we run a full calibration process:
Nomio is built to be flexible. The trial gives you a snapshot, but what comes afterwards is much more fine-tuned to your business needs.
Here’s a few things to consider when evaluating Nomio against the other tools you’re considering.
One of the biggest differences between solutions is how much manual effort they expect from you.
Nomio handles all of this set-up, data capture, organisation, and ongoing maintenance work for you.

A good contract repository should give you confidence in what’s been captured.
Getting to that level of accuracy requires structured processes, human review, and a clear standard for what accuracy looks like.
AI-only solutions hit a ceiling. DIY systems fall apart with inconsistency. Nomio combines automation with humans in the loop to build a database that’s actually reliable.

It’s important to be clear on what type of solution you actually need.
If you’re looking for a tool that covers the full contract lifecycle — including drafting, collaboration, approvals, and e-signatures — a comprehensive CLM might be the better fit.
Nomio doesn’t try to do all of that. Our sole focus is on being the best possible contract repository, and we don’t try to compete with end-to-end solutions on functionality. If your goal is to get your contract data organised, searchable, and reliable (without the overhead of managing it yourself), that’s where Nomio fits best.
That said, it doesn’t have to be one or the other. Nomio can integrate into CLMs and other systems, and often acts as the underlying data layer that makes those tools more effective.

There’s a whole host of other things to consider to assess whether a contract repository meets the true definition of quality.

By the end of your trial, you’ll have a clear sense of how Nomio works, how to use it, and what it’s like to work with us.
Getting started takes no more than an hour of your time across a couple of short calls, plus uploading a small set of documents. We handle everything else.
The trial feels light-touch because that’s just how Nomio works. Whether you’re trialling us for a week or storing thousands of contracts with us long-term, our role stays the same: take the work off your plate, and make your contracts easier to manage.
Put us to the test.
