Managing your contracts and improving compliance is essential to ensure that savings are realized. It also drives supplier collaboration and helps avert conflicts during the contract period.

‍

Many procurement functions spend a lot of time and resources in planning and executing measures - both critical activities in the procurement process. However, we often find that organizations don't invest sufficient resources in contract follow-up after it's been signed, leaving money on the table.

‍

Why Is Contract Follow-up So Important?

Ensuring the appropriate follow-up of your contracts is important for several reasons, where we'd like to highlight the following examples:

‍

• Evaluating suppliers and their performance to ensure that products and services are delivered in accordance with the contract
• Contributing to sustainable and long-term supplier collaboration
• Minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and conflicts
• Sharing contract information and details in the organization and to relevant users
• Maximizing contract loyalty, minimizing maverick spend and ensuring contract compliance throughout the company
