Contract Management in Cerivo (BETA)

This article introduces Contract Management in Cerivo. For a step by step guide to using the new Contracts module - read how to create new contracts in Cerivo.

Contracts are more than documents. They define responsibilities, commitments, risks, renewal dates, supplier relationships, and decisions your organization may need to stand behind later.

Cerivo’s Contract Management module helps bring that information into one clear place, so your team can manage contracts with more confidence and less manual follow-up. Note, that this is a BETA module that is continuously being updated.

What Contract Management helps you do

With Cerivo, you can create and manage contracts in a structured way, connecting the contract itself with the people, vendors, files, dates, and tasks that matter.

Instead of storing agreements in separate folders, inboxes, or spreadsheets, Cerivo gives you a single place to see what exists, who is involved, what needs attention, and when action is required.

Key benefits

Keep contract information clear and accessible

Each contract can include a title, description, key dates, responsible people, assignees, and contract documents. This gives your team a shared overview and helps reduce uncertainty.

Stay ahead of important dates

Start dates, expiration dates, renewal dates, and committed dates can all be added directly to the contract. This makes it easier to prepare in time, avoid surprises, and manage obligations proactively.

Keep contract payments and costs visible

You can add recurring and one-time payments directly to the contract, including currencies, payment frequencies, onboarding fees, and other financial commitments. Cerivo can also calculate annual costs and total contract value based on the contract duration. This gives teams a clearer understanding of financial obligations over time and helps create better visibility across supplier and customer agreements.

Connect contracts to the right parties

You can add both internal and external contract parties from your companies and vendors. This helps clarify ownership and relationships, especially when several teams or suppliers are involved.

Keep all supporting material in one place

Contracts often come with related documents, links, amendments, or supporting files. Cerivo lets you add attachments, upload files, link to relevant URLs, preview documents, and view version history.

Turn follow-up into action

You can create tasks directly from the contract. This helps teams move from “we need to remember this” to clear ownership, due dates, and progress.

Build a stronger record over time

With history, version information, attachments, and structured fields, Cerivo helps create a more reliable contract record. That makes it easier to understand decisions, prove progress, and stay ready for audits, reviews, or internal follow-up.

When to use Contract Management

Use the Contract Management module when you need to:

• Store a new supplier or customer contract
• Track renewal, expiration, or commitment dates
• Add financial data in payments
• Connect a contract to internal companies and external vendors
• Keep amendments, links, and related documents together
• Assign follow-up tasks
• Create a clear record of contract ownership and activity

Why it matters

Contracts carry important business commitments. When they are hard to find, unclear, or disconnected from daily work, risk increases and decisions slow down.

Cerivo helps turn contract management into a reliable routine. Your team can know where things stand, act on what matters, and manage contractual obligations with greater confidence.
