Requirement

They faced significant challenges in managing their contract lifecycle due to a highly complicated manual process. The requirement was to automate the entire contract management process, from drafting to signing, to improve efficiency, visibility, and reduce risks.

Challenges

Our Client faced faced multiple operational challenges that necessitated the implementation of an automated contract management solution:

Lack of Comprehensive Visibility:

They struggled with limited visibility into the contract lifecycle, which led to difficulties in tracking the status and progress of contracts. This lack of transparency made it challenging to ensure timely renewals and compliance with contractual obligations.

Complicated Manual Processes:

Manual Tracking Issues:

Tracking the status of contracts manually was a cumbersome task that often led to overlooked deadlines and missed renewal opportunities.

Inefficiencies in Collaboration:

Inter-departmental collaboration was hampered by the lack of a unified system. Teams struggled to share and review contracts efficiently, leading to delays and miscommunications.

High Risk of Non-Compliance:

The manual processes increased the risk of non-compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements. Missing key deadlines or failing to adhere to contractual terms could result in legal and financial penalties.
