Pre-execution Contract Stage – Aavenir Contractflow Quick-wins
James works as a CPO in his organization. One day he sends a vendor contract for internal review. Benjamin and William each commented on the contract renewal clause in separate documents. James reviews and addresses the entire comments given by William; however, he completely overlooks/misses the comments provided by Benjamin. The contract, while being pushed to the next stage of review, has lost Benjamin’s crucial remarks.
More importantly, the crucial ‘missed’ comments go unnoticed until someone notices the omission, required to execute the contract to the signature stage.
Such situations result in a re-review (and re-negotiation) of specific contract clauses and deal points, substantially slowing down the entire transaction process – leading to a waste of time and effort.

Execution Stage – Aavenir Contractflow Quick-Wins
Contract execution stands for signing the contract and putting it to work, a specific stage of the contract administration process. Although it sounds simple, this phase can be the most tricky if left ignored.
Jeanie works in the legal department, and her role involves managing voluminous procurement contracts, in close coordination with the Procurement Manager. Most of their contracts are 3rd party paper contracts, which are difficult to manage. They spend significant time and resources finding contracts and reviewing the contractual terms and amendments. As a result, the contract approval process is one of their biggest bottlenecks.
Contract execution is crucial for any organization since the executed agreement creates a contractual relationship between two or more parties. Therefore, each must now fulfill the legal obligations they agreed upon in the written contract.
Here’s how an AI-enabled contract lifecycle management solution, Aavenir Contractflow, makes a significant difference at the contract execution stage. Take a look!

Post-execution Stage – Aavenir Contractflow Quick-Wins
Contract management, for many organizations, is just about getting to the signature stage. However, the phase that begins after execution is where contractual value is won or lost. Contractual obligations, reporting, auditing, amendments, renewals, etc., occur in the post-execution phase.
Company A entered a vendor contract with Company B. Company B has a decent contract management system. It manages the contract lifecycle from drafting to renewals but lacks the tracking of SLAs committed by themselves.
As per the contract signed with Company A, on missing a commitment (such as raw materials not being delivered on time), they are obliged to pay a penalty of USD 150 per hour. The amount may sound negligible when the purchase order (PO) is in thousands or lakhs. However, assuming several missed obligations remain unnoticed to the COO of Company B, the penalty amount associated with this vendor contract can easily bump up in thousands and lakhs!
On top of it, it can shake the organization’s financial planning when it is due to Company A’s payment. Apart from financial loss, there are reputation damage risks when this vendor contract will be due for expiration. Company A will think twice before going into renewals with the same supplier.
