Throughout the contract lifecycle, organizations need to keep track of an abundance of data, people, and processes related to contracts. Searching and reporting on contract lifecycle management, financial data, budget information, contract workflow processes, contract management KPIs, departments, vendors, bids, compliance, and more with a manual process is virtually impossible - especially as contract complexity and contract volume grow. Luckily, organizations can leverage contract management reports by using contract management software to make these processes a breeze. Here's how contract management reports can improve CLM processes.
Contract management reports are contract analytics tools that help organizations utilize contract data to improve contract management software processes. Contract management reports help organizations track and analyze contract task management, budget data, financial data, contract management KPIs, departments, bids, vendors, compliance, and more - all in the interest of empirically justifying and strengthening decision-making.
Contract management software provides the tools to maximize contract searching and reporting. Contract management software can automate and streamline the searching and reporting of contract financial data, contract lifecycle processes, budgets, KPIs, contract management personnel, vendor and bid information, contract compliance, obligations, key dates, and more.
Here are some specifics on the benefits of contract searching and contract management reports with contract management software.
A visually engaging contract financials page should provide contract management software users with a simple yet comprehensive financial summary report for each contract. The report should include basic contract details and key contract data at a glance, such as:
Organizations can configure the Budget Used field to set budget thresholds for their contracts. For example, a company can configure an alert so that a contract's owner is notified once the contract's used budget amount surpasses 80%.
In addition to reporting contract financial data for a specific contract, organizations can also run reports around contract financials of all contracts within the system. These reports can be set to run by categories such as by counterpart, contract type, contract department, and many others.
Organizations are encouraged to leverage these contract management software financial data reports to gain a holistic view of contract finances!
