The common problem
MSAs and SOWs live in separate folders. Project teams track SOW deadlines while MSAs auto-renew unnoticed in legal archives.
- SOWs signed without confirming MSA is current
- MSA renewal dates disconnected from active projects
- Change orders not linked to parent SOW
- Vendor insurance on MSA not checked during SOW work
How contract operations work
Ingest
Upload executed agreements or route drafts through review so key dates and obligations live in one workspace.
Review
Flag renewal windows, notice periods, and risk clauses before auto-renewals or unfavorable terms take effect.
Alert
Reminders reach owners ahead of expiration, renewal, and termination notice deadlines.
Benefits
- Renewal and notice-period tracking in one calendar
- Risk review notes attached to each agreement
- Owner assignments so contracts do not sit in a shared drive
- Exportable evidence for legal and finance audits
