Helping you develop, modify and fulfill customer contracts for products and services with comprehensive functionality.
Your contracts with customers define expectations for delivery and performance. Glovia On Demand's Contract Management helps you create those contracts with realistic schedules and profitable pricing. The system simplifies and accelerates contract development and increases accuracy and consistency to improve your internal operations.
Streamlined Contract Development
Profitable projects begin with accurate and achievable contracts. Contract Management provides the structure for defining business relationships and meeting customer requirements—from planning and selling to delivery and billing. Contracts define the business relationship between you and your customer, with respect to terms and conditions, deliverables and billing.
For optimal flexibility, contracts can include multiple projects or no projects at all. With complete control over contract structures, you can create contracts for services that have no associated material requirements, such as consulting. Furthermore, to support today's global marketplace, Contract Management offers full multinational support.
To assure consistency, you can use Master Contracts to establish enterprise-wide terms, such as pricing and discounts, which can be applied to all related contracts. Templates allow contracts to be generated promptly when needed. To streamline your business processes, you can easily convert a quote to a contract with all variables maintained. Customer unique items defined in Glovia On Demand's Bid Process Management can be maintained in Contract Management with the same precision to design standard rules.
Comprehensive Contract Visibility
To help you manage contract requirements, Glovia On Demand provides easy visibility to see the impact of a sales contract on sales, materials, services, delivery and billing. Drilldown windows give you access to all the details you need for profitable contracts, while different functional views of the contract help you establish realistic schedules and prices. Contract requirements are also cross-referenced, which makes set-up and tracking easier.
Integrated Project Management
Contract Management provides seamless integration with Glovia On Demand Projects functionality to help ensure that customer requirements are met. Material and service requirements for a contract can be easily converted into projects with specific deliverables.
