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. In Aavenir Obligationflow the owner attaches that evidence to the obligation, and a person reviews it 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 handle evidence that an obligation was met?

The owner attaches the evidence, such as an insurance certificate, a compliance certification or a financial statement, to the obligation record. A reviewer checks it against the clause and closes the task or sends it back. Reminders and escalations keep overdue items moving.

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 tracking.

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 tracking, 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, tracked and closed.
