What should good contract management software be able to do? Here are the 8 most important functions you should look for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Central contract overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All contracts in one place, with clear status indicators and easy search functionality. Good software also keeps that overview clean: it prevents the same contract from being stored twice. GRIP checks contracts coming in from an ERP or purchase-to-pay system such as AFAS or Spend Cloud against the contracts already in your environment, and excludes the ones that are already there from the import. When a contract document is read in, the AI recognises whether that contract is already present. Duplicate contracts are identified before they reach your overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Document management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Store all contract documents, appendices and correspondence linked to the right contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Expiration monitoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Automatic alerts for contract expirations and renewal deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Financial tracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Track contract values, indexations and budget versus actuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Performance measurement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Monitor KPIs and SLAs to ensure suppliers deliver on their promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Action management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Track tasks and actions related to contracts with clear ownership and deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Reporting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Generate reports for management, stakeholders and audits with a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Integration capabilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Connect with your ERP, FMIS and other systems for seamless data flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
