While they are vital to every business, handling a large number of vendor service contracts can be a time-consuming and overwhelming task for management teams. Service contracts typically include statements of work, service level agreements (SLAs), payment terms, and other provisions that must be continually monitored and executed over the course of the contract to ensure compliance. As the number of vendors grows, the increasing complexity of service contract management can threaten profitability and productivity.

Superior software automates nearly every aspect of contract management, integrates easily with existing technologies, and provides a central repository for documents. The best contract management software is fully customizable, enabling management teams to continuously improve workflows and adapt tools to enhance productivity.

The challenges of service contract management
Creating, executing, and tracking dozens or hundreds of service contracts creates a number of challenges for real estate teams.
Organizing documents. Real estate teams often create, share, manage, and track service contracts using a variety of technologies. When team members need to review a document, they may need to search through word processing applications, email platforms, file servers, and other technologies to find it. This makes it difficult to manage multiple versions and to identify the most recent copy.
Managing service levels. Tracking and monitoring vendor performance against scopes of work and SLAs is difficult when teams rely on spreadsheets and manual, paper-based processes.
Integrating data. When service contract management processes are not digitized and integrated with other technologies, teams must spend a disproportionate amount of time importing, exporting, copying, and pasting data from one platform to another. This process creates workflow inefficiencies and increases potential for error.
Analyzing profitability. To monitor and report on profitability, management teams need real-time data on each vendor’s costs and compliance with contract provisions.
