The absence of an automated tool to track and report the RFP/RFQ statuses and a centralized tool for contract management
CobbleStone Software Contract Insight® Enterprise
The main challenge this company was facing was the absence of an automated tool to track and report on statuses of Requests for Proposals and Requests for Quotes (RFP and RFQ, respectively) as well as a centralized tool for contract management. The need to find a system that could house all contract related information and support regular approval status updates was urgent. Indeed, the lack of a robust contracting system can cause contract lifecycle bottlenecks such as missed key dates, lack of visibility, unclear approval routing, and storage limitations.
CobbleStone Contract Insight® was able to provide the company with the tools they needed to organize their tedious and inefficient contract management process. What made CobbleStone Contract Insight stand out to them was the ease of use and configurability. With CobbleStone Contract Insight’s advanced, AI powered system, they were able to securely store all of their contracts and have an efficient method of searching for contracts and tracking lifecycles. Other favored features included were the visually engaging user dashboards. Dashboards and reports can graphically display an overview of general contract information as well as various customizable and filterable areas of the RFP/RFQ opportunities.
