Contractflow · Renewal management

See the notice date before it passes.

Renewals are missed when the notice period was never recorded. Aavenir AI extracts the term, renewal type and notice period, and each notice becomes a dated task with an owner and the supplier record beside it.

Definition

What is contract renewal management?

Contract renewal management is the practice of tracking when each agreement renews or expires and when notice must be given, then deciding in time whether to renew, renegotiate or exit, instead of letting auto renewals happen by default.

In Contractflow, extraction captures the term, renewal type and notice period, and the notice becomes an event obligation with an owner.

  • Notice dates, not end dates, drive the reminders
  • Aavenir AI extracts term, renewal type and notice period for a person to confirm
  • Each notice becomes an owned, dated task
  • SLA and obligation history sit beside the renewal decision

How it works

One renewal, decided on time.

  1. Aavenir AI reads the term, renewal type and notice period A person confirms before the dates are saved Automatic renewal clauses are called out.

  2. The notice date becomes an event obligation Reminders run from the notice date, not the end date Overdue decisions escalate with one click.

  3. SLAs met and open obligations beside the renewal Renew, renegotiate or exit stays a business decision The decision is recorded on the contract.

Why renewals slip

Auto renewals happen when nobody owns the date.

Three common ways a contract renews that nobody meant to renew.

Renewal by default

A 12 month auto renewal with 90 days notice renews quietly unless someone recorded the notice date.

Dates in one spreadsheet

End dates kept by one person in a spreadsheet leave with that person, and end dates are the wrong dates anyway.

Renewing blind

Without SLA and obligation history, a renewal is a guess about a supplier you already pay.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Common questions

What is contract renewal management?

Contract renewal management tracks when each agreement renews or expires and when notice is due, then gets a decision to renew, renegotiate or exit before that date. Notice dates matter more than end dates, because the notice window closes first. See the renewal use case.

How does Aavenir find renewal dates in contracts?

Aavenir AI extracts the term, the renewal type and the notice period from the contract text. A contract manager confirms each field, and the notice becomes an event obligation with an owner and reminders. See AI contract extraction.

Can Aavenir prevent unwanted auto renewals?

It makes sure someone decides in time. Each notice date has an owner, reminders run before the window closes, and overdue decisions escalate. Sending the notice and choosing to renew or exit remain business decisions, recorded on the contract. See Contractflow.
