  • The contract manager reviews the list before tasks exist

Straight answers

Obligation management, answered.

What contract, risk and supplier managers ask first.

What is contract obligation management software?

Contract obligation management software finds every commitment in a signed contract, such as payments, SLAs, insurance and termination notice, assigns each one an owner and a due date, and keeps evidence that it was met. Aavenir Obligationflow also has AI check that evidence against the clause before the task closes.

How does AI extract obligations from a contract?

AVY reads the contract and lists its obligations by category, such as insurance, payments, SLAs and termination, each with a description, a frequency and a flag for obligations triggered by an event. It also extracts key terms like dates, counterparty and amounts. A contract manager reviews the list before any task is created.

How does Obligationflow verify evidence that an obligation was met?

AVY builds a criteria checklist from the obligation, reads the document that came back, such as an insurance certificate, a compliance certification or a financial statement, and recommends closing or rejecting the task with its reasons. The owner reviews the recommendation and makes the decision.

Is Obligationflow a ServiceNow obligation management app?

Yes. Obligationflow is built on the ServiceNow platform, so on ServiceNow its tasks use your users, roles, workflow and audit history. It also serves companies that do not run ServiceNow, with the same AI extraction and the same evidence checks.

Can we track obligations that are not written in the contract?

Yes. Add them from the obligation library, create them by hand, or bulk upload them from Excel. They get owners, due dates, reminder emails and evidence checks, the same as any obligation AVY extracted from a contract.

Next step

Send three contracts. Get their obligations back.

In a 30 minute session AVY extracts the obligations from your sample contracts, and we show how each one would be assigned, collected and verified.
