Contract Lifecycle Management

Sustainability Measurement

Make sustainability an active part of contract management. In Tellis, you can assess contracts against relevant environmental and social criteria, including the extent to which suppliers align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the UN Global Compact and other environmental and social parameters. This gives you a clearer basis for setting priorities, following up and turning your organisation’s CSR objectives into practical action.

The contract’s sustainability assessment can also contribute to the sustainability score shown on orders placed with the relevant supplier. This means the assessment does not remain confined to the contract. Instead, it carries through to the digital purchasing process, where it can help users make more informed and responsible choices.

Segmentation

Having control over the risk profile of contracts, including delivery reliability, supplier dependency, political risk, and contract expirations, is essential for maintaining a realistic perspective.

The system makes it easy to segment each contract, offering a clear and comprehensive risk overview of the entire contract portfolio.

Permission Management

Tellis makes it possible to decentralise contract management without giving every user access to the entire contract portfolio.

Using permission groups and contract templates, users can be granted read or write access to the contracts relevant to their role. Access can be limited to their own contracts, contracts belonging to their department or contracts across the entire organisation. The selected scope also applies to the segmentation matrix and the user’s contract extracts.

Visibility in the procurement system can also be managed at both user and organisational level. This allows responsibility to be placed closer to the relevant business areas, while the central contract management function maintains a shared and controlled framework for access and governance.

Keep the next contract action visible

Tellis makes it possible to connect responsibility and follow-up directly to contract management.

When an activity is created from an action plan in the segmentation process, the responsible person and the relevant notification can be assigned within the same workflow. This makes the next step clearer and reduces the need for separate reminder lists.

Contracts can also be set to archive automatically when they expire. Where an option period should be activated automatically, this can be selected during setup. These features help keep contract statuses up to date, but they do not replace the professional decision on whether to renew, terminate or exercise an option.
