As your company rapidly grows you need a better contracts management system; trying to manage the multiple contracts under different and multiple departments can be overwhelming. Furthermore, managing contracts in multiple or even one spreadsheet will become cumbersome, unsustainable and limiting.

Existing systems might be able to limp along for a little longer but it certainly wouldn’t scale up to your new demands, which can eventually be pulled up on your next audit, as risk increases and non-compliance issues start to arise.

Your current system or process could be holding back your business growth and be possibly costing you more time and money than you thought. It is typical for businesses to stay with supplier’s year after year because they are continuing to deliver the job and it is less hassle to stay put than make a change. However, failing to review your supplier agreements could potentially make you miss out on a more competitive deal, or cost your business substantial amount of money in the process, leaving you exhausted by your supplier relationships and contract chains.
