Jan Kaeten
Group CFO,
The Relevance Group

“We document contractual risks identified during due diligence in ContractHero, receive alerts, and assign them. This allows us to take proactive measures early on and avoid unnecessary costs.”

The challenge

With every acquisition, it’s not just the portfolio that grows—the complexity of the contract portfolio does as well.

Buy-and-build platforms operate with multiple companies, varying filing structures, and contract portfolios from different acquisitions. Some of the relevant information is stored in the data room, while other parts are located in SharePoint, OneDrive, local folders, or individual departments. After closing, this information must be organized into clear tasks, responsibilities, and data structures. Otherwise, critical issues remain known but cannot be managed in day-to-day operations.
