Today, Supply Chain Leaders have to weigh spending on growth against controlling spend as they respond to
the demands of a fast-moving digital and global economy.
Spend management is the tried and true practice of comprehensively managing all supplier relationships and
company purchasing to identify every dollar spent and get the most out of it. Spend management best
practices integrate and automate all spend-related activities from source to settle so that buying happens
as planned and suppliers get paid in compliance with contracts.

Contract lifecycle management (CLM) automates and streamlines contract processes during key stages. These stages include: initiation, authoring, process and workflow, negotiation and approval, execution, ongoing management and compliance (within the repository), and contract renewal. Most contract management software is designed to provide greater visibility into corporate spend, create greater efficiencies in the contract process, and lower administrative costs. This is accomplished by:
Managing procurement and sales contracts, IP licenses, and internal agreements
Automating and accelerating contract lifecycle management from start to finish
Standardizing and controlling contract development
Strengthening operational, contractual, and regulatory compliance
Creating contracts quickly and easily using pre-approved templates and legal clauses.
Manage sourcing, contracting, and spend analysis processes for all categories of spend – direct and indirect materials as well as services – all in one place. With the end to end visibility procurement leaders can optimize cost, manage risk, reduce maverick spend, stop contract leakages and ensure that their organization fully realizes the savings they negotiated.
