What is Procurify's Contract Management Tool?
With Procurify, you can manage contract spending by storing contracts in a centralized repository and linking them to POs and Bills. Our Contract Management tool captures critical contract details so your organization can intelligently manage spending and improve compliance. Contract Management is best used for capturing SaaS subscriptions, leases, consultants/contractors, insurance, statements of work, and milestone-based payments.
What are the benefits?
Upload active and historical contract documents to centralize important information, such as renewal dates, payment terms, and contract ownership.
Link Contracts to POs to capture how much spending has been completed against a contract, especially statements of work contracts.
Note: Bills cannot be directly linked to contract management, only Purchase Order. Bills created against linked POs automatically appear under the bills tab in contract spend.
(You must respective permission to view POs to see POs linked to a contract.)Receive notifications about upcoming contract renewals so decisions can be made in advance to help with vendor negotiations and build better relationships. For information on how to set your notifications, see How to adjust notification settings.

Batch Processing: Allows for the upload and processing of up to 5 contracts simultaneously, each no larger than 20MB and 15 pages long, facilitating batch imports and enhancing efficiency.
Error Handling and Notifications: Provides immediate feedback on processing status, including alerts for uploads that exceed limits or fail due to size constraints, and notifications for successful or incomplete data extraction.
Auto-match extracted data against existing records such as vendors, payment terms and currency
