Contract Management for Manufacturing

Contract intelligence: Lower costs, reduce risks with AI-powered contract digitization and insights

Leading manufacturing companies are embracing contract-centric sourcing to lower costs, reduce supplier risk, and accelerate time-to-market with Icertis Contract Intelligence

The Challenge

Leverage the Full Value From Every Commercial Relationship

Contracts are the foundation of commerce, and they support the entire manufacturing value chain including Engineering & Technology, Procurement, Production & Operations, Human Resource Management, Partner Management, and Sales & Marketing.

    • Suboptimal contract terms combined with suboptimal fulfillment can cause an erosion of value equal to 9% of a business’ annual revenues. (World Commerce & Contracting Association).
    • Growing customer expectations, disrupted supply chains, and changing regulatory requirements.
    • Manufacturers are under pressure to leverage the terms contained within contracts to increase top-line and bottom-line revenues to minimize cost from suppliers.
    • The problem can’t be solved with a contract repository alone. It’s not just a contract management problem, it’s an intent problem. How can you ensure the intent of every contract is fully realized and incorporated in the operations of the organization.

Contracts have a direct impact on the revenue and spend of an organization. But have you ever measured how well your contracts are performing for your enterprise?
