Contract renewals

Make the renewal decision while you still have a choice

Zefort helps you track renewal terms, set timely reminders, and involve the right people before the notice deadline, not just when the contract ends.

Contract renewals
The challenge

Why knowing the contract end date isn't always enough

A contract may run for another year, but the notice deadline is approaching. Miss it, and you're now committed to another term.

Notice deadlines come first

Depending on the agreement, you may need to decide whether to continue or terminate well before the contract expires. Tracking the end date alone can leave too little time to assess alternatives or give notice.

Renewals need a clear owner

Legal may hold the agreement, procurement manages the supplier relationship, and the business decides whether it still needs the service. Without a clear renewal owner, everyone can assume someone else is handling it.

Spreadsheets depend on people

A spreadsheet can work perfectly well until an amendment changes the contract terms or the person maintaining it moves to another role. Unless someone takes over the follow-up, important dates can go unnoticed.

How Zefort helps

Stay ahead of contract renewals

Identify notice periods and renewal terms with AI, review the suggested details, and set email reminders for everyone involved in the decision, all within Zefort.
01 / Identify

Find notice periods without manual searching

Zefort’s Advanced AI identifies renewal terms and notice periods in your contracts and suggests values for those fields.

Your team can review the suggestions against each agreement, correct them, and manually add any missing details.

Contract reminders
02 / Remind

Remind the right people to act in time

Set up activities linked to key contract dates in Zefort and schedule email reminders for the contract owner and others involved in the renewal.

For example, if notice is due by 30 September, start the internal review in June so procurement, legal, and the business have time to assess options and approve a decision.

Keep track of the next renewal, too

When an agreement renews, review and update its renewal status and dates in Zefort.

If you change a contract date linked to an automatic activity, that activity’s due date updates to match. Your team can then review the reminders and recipients for the next renewal.

How Atria manages contract deadlines

At Atria, tracking important contract dates used to depend on individual employees remembering them. The company now uses Zefort’s automated email reminders for contract end dates, guarantee periods, and contract options. This means tracking these dates no longer depends solely on someone’s personal reminders.
