Tracking Contracts vs. the Market
In the contract management market you either overpay for heavy enterprise systems, or pick a cheap digital archive and still enter everything by hand. Here is the honest comparison.

Compare with your current approach
Still using Excel, SharePoint, Outlook or Google Drive for contract management? See what you're missing.
vs.
Excel
Once a business manages more than ten procurement contracts, Excel falls short: no automatic deadline alerts, no ownership tracking when someone leaves, and no AI to verify your contract files are complete. According to WorldCC, companies lose an average of 9.2% of annual revenue to poor contract management.
vs.
SharePoint
SharePoint is an excellent document archive. Managing contract deadlines is something else entirely.
vs.
Outlook
Outlook is built to manage messages. Not to track when a supplier can hold you to a contract.
vs.
Google Drive
Google Drive is convenient for sharing files. Monitoring contract deadlines is something else.
Compare with contract management software

vs.
CloudCompagnon
CloudCompagnon is an excellent digital archive. But archiving is not the same as monitoring, and monitoring is exactly what you need.
vs.
Docbird
Docbird is built for the moment of signing. Tracking Contracts starts there, with monitoring, extraction, and supplier management.
vs.
ContractNow
ContractNow understands procurement inside out. Tracking Contracts adds the AI accelerators that classic procurement software still lacks.
vs.
Mochadocs
Mochadocs is the Rolls-Royce of contract lifecycle management. Tracking Contracts gives you the essentials that the hospitality industry and SMBs truly need, from day one.
vs.
VendorLink
VendorLink is built for large corporate procurement departments with ERP integrations. Tracking Contracts brings those same strategic procurement tools to SMBs, at a fraction of the price.

What we deliberately don't include
Many enterprise systems are packed with features that SMEs rarely touch in practice, but that you still pay top price for. We built Tracking Contracts as a fast, secure registration system and left out what the average SME simply does not need.
No complex contract creation
In practice, you often receive a PDF from the supplier or use your own Word document. We focus on quickly registering the agreed terms.
No ERP or accounting integrations
No months-long IT implementations. Plug-and-play: take back control over your notice periods today.
No bureaucratic approval workflows
We don't slow down the procurement process with mandatory internal approval routines upfront. Once the deal is done, log it quickly and securely.
No tendering or compliance modules
You don't pay for features built for multinationals, like sanctions list checks or complex tendering tools.
What it comes down to
With Tracking Contracts you cut down on admin work straight away, thanks to AI and the KvK integration. You keep full control through detailed permissions and 1-click offboarding, in a well-secured environment with e-signing included. You get the procurement power of a tool that normally runs to thousands per year, at a straightforward monthly fee.
