While a standardised contract management system is sufficient for many industries or contracts, as the contracts are usually not very complex and have a consistent structure, the situation in the food and beverage industry is different. Here, contracts become complex because they have to combine a wide variety of service types — from setting up a catering area to equipping it and purchasing a manufacturer's beverage brands, a wide variety of aspects have to be regulated in a single contract.
The beverage industry uses outdated contract management tools with features that are no longer up to date. Maintaining, expanding or migrating these tools poses major challenges for companies. The typical starting point is a hodgepodge of distributed tools with no overarching logic and full of media breaks. This makes the process lengthy, error-prone and opaque.
Manual data transfer between different systems.
Use of multiple systems and integration.
Due to manual data transfer and media breaks.
Lengthy data entry and approval processes.
proCONTRACTS | Beverage offers building blocks for a modern, effective and automated application process. It eliminates media breaks and creates maximum transparency and efficiency.
»We intend to implement additional contract types alongside the beer supply contract using proCONTRACTS. The next step will also involve automated invoicing and contract termination through this application. Looking further into the future, we envision even greater potential in the End-to-End process with our contract partners.«
