Efficient growth: MARKT-PILOT achieves 100% compliance and time savings

Challenges

Lack of structures and overview in growth

Rapid growth is also transforming the “ contract management ”: processes are becoming more complex, responsibilities are no longer clearly assigned, and contracts are often scattered across different departments. Especially when it comes to service provider contracts, software licenses, or the vehicle fleet, it’s easy to lose track of the big picture. As with many scale-ups, this meant that for MARKT-PILOT, too, the issue was taking up more and more time and needed to be addressed in a structured manner.

Growing compliance requirements

Another key point was the increasing requirements for security and verification obligations. MARKT-PILOT underwent ISO 27001 certification and is preparing for the SOC 2 audit - international standards that prove that data is processed securely and that clear control mechanisms are in place. If there is no central overview of all contracts, it becomes difficult to provide evidence in full and on time - a sensitive issue in a growth phase where trust is essential.

deadlines s and Unnecessary Costs

An important aspect of “ contract management ” is adhering to notice periods. Without clear reminders or centralized transparency, there is a risk that contracts will automatically roll over—resulting in costs that could easily be avoided. MARKT-PILOT recognized this risk early on and saw the need to create more structure in this area.

Solutions

Scalable, central platform for efficient processes

With ContractHero, MARKT-PILOT introduced a central and scalable platform for all service provider and software contracts - a solution that can easily keep pace with the company's rapid growth. All relevant documents are clearly stored in one place, ensuring transparency and control even as the company continues to grow. The AI analysis functionIt automatically reads out contract content, significantly reducing manual effort. The roles and rights concept also helps to create clear responsibilities and establish structures that can be flexibly adapted to new teams, departments and markets.

Audit & compliance readiness

The new structure also means security for audits. Contract overviews that meet ISO requirements can be created at the touch of a button. The integrated role system clearly regulates who has access to which documents at all times. This strengthens MARKT-PILOT's position as an audited and trustworthy partner for customers and investors.

Automatic deadline control

Another decisive advantage is the automated deadline control. ContractHero reliably reminds you of termination and expiry dates. This eliminates unwanted contract renewals, which avoids additional costs and creates planning security.
