Before signing: involve all internal and external stakeholders in drafting and validating contracts.

After signature: make sure that the right people are informed of expiry dates. This will enable you to anticipate the termination or renewal of contracts, as well as the addition of appendices and riders with contract management software. 

If needed, you can also capitalize on the other functionalities of the Avanteam suite to set up the periodic evaluation of your suppliers.

Avanteam AI and contract management

Artificial Intelligence to optimize your CLM.

Avanteam AI, 🤖 is a new generation of artificial intelligence, which :

  • Automatically recognizes key contract information to save you time
  • Evolves with your needs, thanks to the integration of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies.

Whatever the format of your contracts, Avanteam AI automatically recognizes and extracts contract types (commercial, HR, lease, NDA...), key attributes (signatories, purpose, date, duration, amount...) and critical clauses (penalty, liability, termination, exclusivity...).

It can also make suggestions that you can validate online, instead of having to enter the information. The tool constantly learns from each interaction and evolves to suit your needs. So, if you're looking to continuously improve your processes, our contract management software is an ally worth considering.

      How to choose your contract management software?

      What is the difference between a contract management software and a simple digital signature tool?

      • Contract management software (or CLM software), such as Contract Manager, optimizes your contractual process at every level: drafting, verification, validation and final signature. To do this, it involves all stakeholders, both internal and external to the company. In this, it differs from a simple electronic signature tool, which only intervenes at the final stage to secure the transaction and give it legal and probative value;
      • The two tools complement each other. In many cases, contract lifecycle management software offers connectors to the main digital signature platforms, such as Docusign, LuxTrust, Oodrive, Yousign, Universign... This contributes to a single, seamless user experience throughout the process.

      How to compare CLM software?

      • We advise you to draw up a functional and technical checklist, filling in the key functionalities you need. Then look for a few contract management software packages that match your list, so you don't miss out on anything. This will simplify your work considerably, and make it more efficient. Three to four contract management software packages are usually enough to make a relevant comparison;
      • In addition to your checklist, check the vendor's customer references, particularly in your sector of activity. You should also make sure that they are able to advise and support you in implementing your solution, and in taking over your existing contracts;
      • The existence of an active "User Club" is also an important criterion when choosing your CLM software. This enables you to check that the software publisher devotes sufficient time and energy to developing its solution, so that it is constantly in step with the state of the art and with the latest regulatory or legal requirements.

      What are the most important benefits of a contract management solution?

      • Whatever the nature of your contracts, managing them involves the repetitive and tedious stages of drafting, negotiating, validating and signing. And without an appropriate CLM tool, these steps can quickly become a real nightmare for the various parties involved;
      • Contract management software will help your company shorten its sales cycle, reduce costs and improve compliance, thanks to seamless traceability and visibility. You'll save a considerable amount of time and money, which will benefit your company's development.

      Does this CLM software allow me to take over my existing contracts?

      • Yes, Avanteam will help you take over your contracts, whatever their volume and nature. To do this, we combine the skills of our expert teams with intelligent capture technologies based on artificial intelligence;
      • Taking over contracts is often a critical step for companies. It's not just a question of digitizing documents and loading them into a new Contract Management solution, but above all of entering the metadata (contract title, nature of contract, department concerned, internal signatory, third-party signatory, signature date, expiry date, etc.) that will enable them to be easily classified and retrieved. Without this, it will be impossible to track expiring contracts reliably, or to associate them with a particular department or country.

      How to calculate the ROI of contract management software?

      • Even if it's difficult to propose a universal model, as processes differ so much from one company to another, there is nevertheless a relatively simple method for calculating the return on investment (ROI) of contract management software :

        - How many employees are in charge of contract management? What is their average hourly wage, including charges?
        - How many hours a day on average do they spend on manual contract management?
        - Number of employees * average hourly wage * number of hours spent on quality = daily quality cost;
        - Multiply this daily cost by the number of working days in your company, to obtain the annual cost dedicated to contract management.

        Contract management software can usually cut this cost by a factor of 3, by automating all time-consuming manual tasks. Now all you have to do is calculate your return on investment, by deducting from the annual cost of the contract management software the 2/3 of management time saved thanks to this software. Don't hesitate to contact our customer service department for access to a small ROI calculator, to be customized according to the context of your organization.

        This calculation only takes into account quantifiable gains, to which you can add the "qualitative" benefits of dematerialized contract management:

        - More time for higher value-added tasks;
        - Better compliance with your internal rules and procedures;
        - Increased control and reduced legal risks;
        - Team autonomy and overall process fluidity.

      With Avanteam, can I dematerialize processes other than contract management?

      • Yes: in addition to its CLM software, Avanteam offers a powerful document digitization(EDM) and business process management (BPM) platform, Process Studio;
      • With this tool, you can create other collaborative applications in record time and without coding: purchasing, supplier invoices, expense reports, recruitment, staff entry/exit, etc. This will save your teams from having to juggle spreadsheets, e-mails and other tools to manage and coordinate their activities;
      • Process Studio is accessible to business decision-makers and technical experts alike. This guarantees your company that your application will adapt easily to organizational changes, without additional development costs or the involvement of internal or external IT teams.
