    Tracking Contracts vs. ContractNow

    ContractNow understands procurement inside out. Tracking Contracts adds the AI accelerators that classic procurement software still lacks.

    Updated: 4 March 2026

    What ContractNow does well

    Deep procurement DNA

    Built from a procurement consultancy background. ContractNow understands procurement processes and risk management from the inside.

    Risk and compliance management

    Solid dashboards for contract compliance and supplier risk — more than a simple archive.

    Advisory included

    Often combined with human procurement advice. You buy not just software but also procurement expertise.

    But here's what it lacks

    No AI automation

    You still need to manually enter every date, amount, and party. No AI extraction from PDF contracts.

    No Chamber of Commerce API

    Creating suppliers takes time and risks typos — no automatic lookup via the Dutch Business Registry API.

    High price for manual work

    At €125/mo you pay relatively much for a system that does not automate the data entry work for you.

    When speed matters

    You receive a new contract from your energy supplier. In ContractNow you manually type the supplier name, company registration number, start date, end date, notice period, and contract value from the PDF. That takes 10 to 15 minutes per contract. With dozens of contracts a year, that adds up to half a working day. Tracking Contracts reads the same PDF in 90 seconds and fills everything in automatically — you just review.

    Modern procurement DNA, with AI included

    ContractNow is a solid choice for mid-sized companies looking for procurement software combined with consultancy advice. But if you want the most modern technology — AI that reads your contract in 90 seconds, a Chamber of Commerce API that creates suppliers without errors, and a starting price five times lower — Tracking Contracts is the more efficient choice for the active procurement manager.
