Contract Portal functions at a glance

Everything that turns a contract management software into an active contract control center

Deadlines & responsibilities

The portal monitors contract-related deadlines and links them to responsibilities. Contract managers are informed in a targeted way as soon as customers trigger actions, change data, or upload documents.

Customer communication in the portal

Emails are sent directly from the portal and logged against the contract. For notifications to customer groups, a queueing system enables structured, controlled delivery.

Contract rooms

Contract rooms can be structured by contract type, customer segment, or area of responsibility – with precisely matched access, information and functions for each group.

Role-based, secure, traceable

A differentiated permission system controls content and functions for external customers, internal staff and contract managers. Every relevant change is logged.

Secure document exchange

Structured upload with a white-list concept

Only approved formats are accepted

For file uploads, the portal relies on a white-list concept ℹ. Approved file formats are clearly defined – for secure, controlled and convenient document exchange.

Customers can easily upload and download documents. Incoming emails can also be saved as documents attached to the contract.
