contract management
Background
A well-known retail company with a global presence, with its headquarters in the United States. The company is known for its wide range of products and exceptional customer service. However, the company was facing several challenges related to its contract management process.
The company was dealing with a large number of vendors, which meant a significant volume of contracts to manage, track and maintain. This led to the company experiencing difficulties in keeping up with contract renewals, deadlines, and compliance issues.
Client Challenges
The Retail Company’s Contract Management process was primarily manual and involved managing contracts across various departments and locations. The company was facing several challenges due to the lack of a centralized contract management system. These challenges included:
Inefficient Contract Management: The company was managing contracts manually, which was not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. This made it difficult to track the contracts, monitor their progress, and maintain accurate records.
Missed Deadlines: The manual process made it challenging to keep up with contract deadlines and renewals. The company often missed critical deadlines, leading to compliance issues and legal risks.
Lack of Visibility: With the contracts spread across various departments, it was difficult to maintain visibility into the contracts’ status and progress. This lack of visibility made it challenging to identify areas for improvement and identify issues early.
