04 / Contract management

Pricebooks that don’t go stale the day they’re signed.

Awarded terms, supplier pricebooks, and obligations live in one registry with NCR, CAR, and PIP records attached.

A negotiated price is accurate until the next repricing request, and non-conformance history usually lives in email, disconnected from the supplier record.

dmp OCR-extracts signed contracts into active pricebooks the moment they’re signed, and gates supplier onboarding to verified tender winners so new vendors are ready to transact the moment a contract is awarded.

Key capabilities
  • Contract Registry: signed agreements OCR-extracted into searchable, active pricebooks
  • Negotiation Dashboard: real-time visibility into savings and cost avoidance by supplier
  • Supplier Performance Management (SPM): NCR and PIP records visible to both buyer and supplier
  • Supplier-side pricebook updates within agreed boundaries
  • CTR Evaluation: confidential Cost·Time·Resource responses compared line by line against pricebook and benchmark before award
  • Supplier Onboarding: tender-gated qualification, document checks, and certificate expiry tracking built into the contract layer — cutting the cost of third-party onboarding services
Every capability, in detail

What this module actually does.

Contract Registry

An AI extraction engine OCR-scans every uploaded contract into a searchable, active digital pricebook the moment it’s signed. Legal and procurement retrieve exact terms and generate audit reports in seconds instead of hunting down signature pages.

For Category Managers, compliance, and legal teams

Negotiation Dashboard

A real-time price-check and savings-discovery tool visualizes exactly where procurement can negotiate deeper discounts, based on historical negotiations and comparable supplier pricing — hard data instead of a guessed target price.

For Category Managers, sourcing specialists, and CPOs

Smart CTR (Cost·Time·Resource)

A specialized contract submodule that accelerates project-specific rate requests using digitized pricebooks. An AI agent auto-fills project scope for buyers and recommends relevant materials for suppliers, while confidentiality is system-enforced across multi-vendor negotiations — no supplier ever sees another's request or response — cutting rate-negotiation cycles from weeks to days.

For Project managers and sourcing specialists

CTR Evaluation

Responses come back in the same structure they were requested — cost, time, resource — so evaluation is a line-by-line comparison, not a spreadsheet reconciliation. Every proposed rate is checked against the supplier’s own pricebook and the current benchmark, deviations are flagged before award, and the recommendation carries its full evaluation trail. Confidentiality holds through scoring: evaluators compare responses side by side while no supplier ever sees another’s numbers.

For Project managers, sourcing specialists, and cost engineers

Tender-Gated Supplier Onboarding

Profile creation unlocks exclusively for verified tender winners, who self-register through a portal. AI categorizes the supplier by UNSPSC code, runs automated compliance and risk checks, and feeds the data straight into supplier health metrics — new vendors are ready to transact the moment a contract is awarded. Expiring certificates and documents resurface for review automatically, so qualification is a standing state, not a one-time pass. And because it all runs inside the registry, it cuts the cost of third-party onboarding services — no separate subscription, no per-supplier fees.

For Vendor management and compliance teams

Supplier Performance Management (SPM)

Collaborative KPI tracking with automated NCRs and PIPs, visible to both the company and the supplier. Suppliers see their own performance metrics and can self-correct before an issue escalates into a disqualification.

For QA teams, Category Managers, and suppliers themselves
How it connects

One registry, four modules.

Contract management inherits the award directly from evaluation, and every pricebook update is checked against the current benchmark.

FAQ

Direct answers.

Yes, within negotiation boundaries you set. Every change is attributable and checked against the current benchmark.

Attached to the supplier record in the same registry, so corrective-action history is visible at the next sourcing decision instead of buried in email.

Signed agreements and legacy PDFs are ingested and their rate tables extracted into structured pricebooks by OCR and structured capture, then verified, so historical contracts become searchable data alongside new ones.

Self-service supplier registration with UNSPSC categorisation that opens only to verified tender winners, so the vendor master grows through qualification rather than accumulation.

Line by line, in the same cost, time, and resource structure they were requested in. Each rate is checked against the supplier’s pricebook and the current benchmark, deviations are flagged before award, and no supplier sees another’s response at any point.

No. Qualification gates, document checks, and certificate expiry tracking are part of the contract layer itself, with no per-supplier fee. A supplier that passes the tender gate is categorised, onboarded, and monitored through SPM from the first delivery onward.

Supplier performance

Supplier performance management software, built into the contract layer.

Performance data belongs where the commercial relationship lives. Every delivery, non-conformance report (NCR), corrective action request (CAR), and performance improvement plan (PIP) attaches to the supplier’s record in the registry — visible to your team and to the supplier, so problems get corrected instead of collected.

Because scorecards live beside contracts and pricebooks, performance is a factor the next tender can actually use: the approved vendor list reflects delivery reality, and a renewal negotiation opens with the record on the table.

Supplier onboarding

Qualification built into the contract layer — a safety net, not a subscription.

The vendor master is where compliance risk enters the business. dmp gates every registry entry behind qualification: registration documents, HSE and insurance certificates, and category scope are checked before a supplier can transact, and expiring documents resurface for review instead of lapsing quietly.

Because the gate is part of the contract layer itself, there is no separate verification service to subscribe to and no per-supplier fee. The same registry that holds pricebooks and performance records enforces who is allowed into it — and SPM keeps checking after onboarding, so a supplier stays qualified by performing, not by having once passed.
