Result
CloudEagle's renewal reminders ensured Falkonry renewed contracts on time, preventing unnecessary expenses and app access restrictions. Centralized contract management and automated workflows streamlined renewal operations.
Key Highlights:
CloudEagle's contract renewal workflows allowed Falkonry to automate renewals, initiating reminders 90 days in advance to prevent auto-renewals.
We faced unnecessary costs due to auto-renewals, mainly because our contract management approach relied on spreadsheets, making it difficult to renew SaaS contracts on time. Without an automated system to manage SaaS renewals and send alerts, contracts were renewed automatically without our input.
However, this wasn't the only problem. These auto-renewals required more resources than necessary, and our team struggled to renew SaaS contracts on time because of our spreadsheet-based system.
Our contracts were auto-renewed as there was no automation system to forecast renewals and send alerts. Furthermore, SaaS Vendors restricted access to the applications due to missed renewal deadlines, leading to app downtime and hassles in their business operations.
Initially, our team managed their small SaaS stack using spreadsheets. However, as we added more applications, the process became chaotic, prompting us to find a reliable solution.
Solution
Falkonry wanted to automate its contract renewals to avoid needless SaaS expenses.
CloudEagle platform’s centralized SaaS management system and contract renewal workflow features convinced Falkonry to onboard with us.
After the internal system integrations, our platform automatically retrieved all contract-related data and spending from the applications and vendors and centralized it in one place.
However, Falkonry predominantly used spreadsheets to manage SaaS contracts, so
- CloudEagle team helped Falkonry upload all their excel sheets and contracts to feed the renewal dates and other contract-related metadata.
“We were able to see all our contracts in one centralized dashboard; this made it easier for our team to track and retrieve documents whenever needed,” says Pratibha Mehta.
- Our platform extracted all the contract renewal metadata from the contracts and created a renewal calendar for all applications.
- We canceled all the auto-renewals in the contracts to prevent unnecessary expenses.
Based on the renewal calendar, CloudEagle initiated renewal workflows 90 days in advance and sent reminder alerts to help the team renew their contracts on time.
