About me
Inspired by my time in strategic sourcing at P&G, I launched a technology startup to help busy procurement professionals easily keep track of business contracts after they are signed to improve transparency and visibility, and reduce the risk of missing something important. We use proprietary technology with proactive alerts and analytics, giving you of contract important dates, milestones and clauses at a glance on any device.
We're looking for people to try it out and share their experience and feedback. If you have contracts in English, let me know if you're interested in giving it a try for free.
Thanks for supporting innovation in procurement!
