-
Streamline Pre-Contract Negotiations to Reduce Risk
Ensure that every activity leading up to contract signing—including information gathering, negotiations, and due diligence—lays the foundation for profitable, low-risk agreements.

Close deals faster with financial guardrails
Empower your sales team to onboard new customers in minutes by leveraging templates and automated workflows that eliminate the need for Finance and Legal intervention on standard agreements.

Protect margins and maximize profits
Integrate your profitability models directly into the contracting process to ensure every deal aligns with margin goals. By connecting with CRM and CPQ systems, distributors can dynamically determine optimal deal structures based on product mix and market conditions. Automated rebate and incentive settlements further protect profitability by preventing duplicate incentives for the same customer, enforcing pricing terms tied to actual performance, and flagging non-compliant or underperforming deals early—allowing for swift corrective action.
-

Keep your business on track with visual, interactive dashboards that deliver real-time insights across key performance areas such as risk, sales, product performance, and incentives. By integrating with CRM, ERP, and POS systems, you can closely monitor commitments versus actuals, identify underperforming markets, and take proactive measures to correct course. These insights also enable timely ROI evaluations, helping you make informed decisions on whether to renew or terminate agreements—supported by automated claw-back recovery for missed commitments.
