Contract Intelligence for Manufacturing

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 the Icertis platform.

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?

The solution

World Commerce & Contracting reports that around 29% of a company’s staff is involved in the contract process.

This means optimized contract management process can deliver value across an enterprise – from engineering, supply chain, procurement and production to operations, human resources, partner management, sales, and marketing. Contract Intelligence helps you to manage your contracts better and more efficiently, in ways that strategically and proactively improve six key drivers in a manufacturing business:

  • Revenue Leakage

    Record and track rebate and incentive terms to maximize revenue realization.

  • Supplier Visibility

    Integrate sourcing, contracting, and execution tools to measure variance in price, capacity, volume, quality, compliance and delivery.

  • Risk & Compliance

    Proactively identify regulatory and compliance concerns to mitigate financial and supply chain risks.

  • Margin Protection

    Compute variances between contracts and actuals to pinpoint factors that contribute to margin erosion

  • Managing Flow Downs

    Cascade information and directives into your supply chain.

  • Operational Productivity

    Improve cycle times to onboard customers and suppliers.
