The Problem

UK businesses lose an estimated 9% of annual revenue to missed contract renewals and unfavourable auto-renewals. With dozens or hundreds of vendor, client, and partner contracts — each with different terms, notice periods, and renewal dates — manual tracking via spreadsheets is error-prone. A missed 30-day notice period on a commercial lease or software contract can lock you into another year at inflated rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it extract dates from existing contracts automatically?

Yes. AI-powered document analysis extracts key dates, notice periods, and renewal terms from uploaded contracts — even scanned PDFs. For complex contracts, the system flags uncertain extractions for human verification rather than guessing incorrectly.

How far in advance should renewal reminders be set?

We recommend a three-stage reminder system: 90 days (strategic review), 60 days (begin negotiations), and 30 days (final decision deadline). For contracts with longer notice periods — common in UK commercial property leases — we adjust the timeline accordingly.
