Contracts are the single source of truth for all commercial, operational, and legal entitlements and obligations of a company. Icertis structures and connects this business data so that customers gain the transparency and agility to move faster and deliver on their commitments. Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) digitizes the contracting process, extracts the critical structured and unstructured data in contracts, connects this data to operational surround systems, and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure the intent of every contract is fully realized.
Icertis has long celebrated working with leading automotive, aviation, and transportation manufacturers including Daimler and Porsche. In the 2H 2021, the company further deepened its expertise in the automotive space with Icertis' first customer in Ireland, and a Germany-based global supplier to the automotive and industrial sectors. The newly added brands to the Icertis customer base underscore the organization-wide value that Icertis Contract Management delivers across all industries, including:
- AkzoNobel — The manufacturer and distributor of world-class paints and coatings, based in the Netherlands, will use ICI to digitize the commercial, supplier and distributor contracts. With the platform, the company will provide transparency about risks and obligations across the organization, enabling legal, procurement and sales teams to visualize contract data, analyze risks and obligations, and fully realize the intent of every contract – helping to modernize contracting.
- EMAG Group — A mid-size German manufacturer, focused on manufacturing systems for the end-to-end process chain, from soft to hard machining. EMAG chose Icertis Contract Intelligence to accelerate purchasing and sales and to address compliance and risk management challenges.

Icertis also saw significant expansion of solution use with its existing customers in Europe. For example, long-standing France-based customer Sanofi expanded its use of Icertis with Icertis DiscoverAI.
