📄️ Overview
A contract is an agreement between the organization and the third-party vendors for carrying out the maintenance activities. These contracts must be maintained and monitored. Hence, Motadata provides a solution called Contract Management. This keeps a track of the contract details along with their date of commencement and expiry. Also, you can send reminder alerts before the expiry of the contract and attach related documents.
