The AI interface

Review and Edit Product/Vendor details

Upon file selection, our AI interface will analyze the contract and open a dedicated section to examine and revise the particulars.

1. Product details: Smartscan will autonomously identify the product's name. It will also present a list of multiple products if the contract is associated with more than one.

In case you observe any inaccuracies in the product name, you have the option to hover over the name and utilize the edit or delete button to make necessary changes.

2. Vendor details: The system provides you with the flexibility to designate either a vendor or a reseller from whom the product was obtained. This choice can be made based on your purchasing circumstances.

If the product was acquired from a vendor, the system will automatically link the vendor using our database, leveraging the product details. In instances where the product was obtained through a reseller, you can select from the dropdown list by searching for the appropriate name.

What if you don't see the Product or Vendor on the list?

For scenarios in which you are uploading a contract about a new product that is not currently present within our database, rest assured there exists a convenient procedure to introduce such products.

1. Make a search for the product's name. If the product is not found within the database, the system will notify you of its absence. Subsequently, you will be given the option to "Add" the product.

2. Opt for the "+Add" function, which will initiate a slide-out panel enabling you to input the product's name, the corresponding vendor, and the product URL.

3. Upon successfully creating the product, a confirmation prompt will be displayed.

4. Click save and continue

Contract Information

On the subsequent page, you will find the contract particulars, including Start Date, End Date, Contract Value, Payment Terms, and other relevant details, already populated. If our system encounters difficulty understanding a specific value, it may remain blank. In such cases, you can manually input the accurate values according to the terms of the contract. Additionally, the option to modify the existing pre-filled information is also available.

Pricing Details

Once the contract details have been entered, navigate downwards to input the pricing specifics. Here, you will encounter pre-filled pricing data such as license type, product name, and pricing model. You have the freedom to either append or modify these particulars. Additionally, the system will indicate any values that it was unable to auto-fill.

For enhanced granularity, you can include multiple line items within the pricing details section, especially if the contract encompasses multiple products. This enables you to delineate the license type and other relevant attributes for each item individually.

Upon completion, simply click "Save." The contract will then be successfully added, and you can subsequently access and review it on the contracts page.

You can search the contract on the Vendor details to view the contract that you just added.
