1. Challenges in traditional contract renewal processes
Managing SaaS contract renewals manually can lead to the following challenges:
A. Lack Of Visibility Into Expiration Dates
Without a centralized system to track contract expiration dates, IT teams rely on spreadsheets or email reminders, which can be easily missed. This can lead to service interruptions, legal issues, or automatic renewals on unfavorable terms.

B. Delayed Communication
Manual tracking and frequent email follow-ups slow down the renewal process. Without automated reminders or centralized tracking, communication delays can lead to missed opportunities, suboptimal terms, or unwanted auto-renewals.
C. Difficulty Coordinating Between Departments
Renewals require input from multiple departments like legal, finance, and procurement. Working in isolation causes delays and errors, especially when different systems lead to confusion, lost documents, or outdated versions.
D. Risk Of Missing Renewal Deadlines
Missing renewal deadlines can result in costly auto-renewals or unfavorable terms. Without a proactive system, organizations risk being locked into contracts that no longer meet their needs or budgets, causing financial mismanagement.
E. Inconsistent Tracking And Reporting
Manual tracking across spreadsheets, emails, and tools leads to inconsistent reporting. Teams struggle to get a clear view of contract statuses, making it harder to track renewals or negotiate terms and increasing the risk of missed renewals or errors.
