Looking for a Better Approach to Contracts 

Schaeffler Group is a major manufacturer of auto parts. In today's fast-paced business environment, Schaeffler recognized the paramount importance of possessing comprehensive knowledge about the contents of their contracts. This encompassed understanding rights, obligations, and opportunities embedded within these legal agreements. Such insight was not merely a matter of compliance with regulations but also a strategic response to the dynamic landscape of commercial pressures that modern enterprises face. 

Going Beyond Contract Management 

To address this imperative, Schaeffler made it a top priority to implement a cutting-edge contract intelligence solution.  

“To have comprehensive knowledge about your contractual details – about rights and obligations, risk and opportunity, is crucial in these times, and that’s why we decided to prioritize digitally transforming contracts,” says Christoph Ehemann, Head of Legal Operations, Schaeffler Technologies AG & CO. KG
