Contract Management Overview

Contract Management provides tracking and monitoring capabilities for various types of contracts for the transit industry. Contractual obligations and conditions to ensure compliance require a systematic approach. Fleet-Net’s Contract Management automates this process and provides the user with flexibility.

The Contract Management (CT) module interfaces with the Bid Management, Accounts Payable, and Project Tracking modules. An association between the bids that generated the contract can be made. It allows for the identification of the vendor and any sub-contractors associated with the contract. Its tie to Project Tracking allows the user to see purchases to date which reflect all processed invoices and paid to date information, which reflects all checks cut pertaining to the project.

The CT module allows for the maintaining and tracking of pertinent information such as a contract’s start and end dates, board approval date, contract amount and other fields.

The CT module allows for the sharing of documents with co-workers for easy collaboration with the ability to attach various types of documents such as the scanned original contract, insurance documentation, certifications, blue prints etc.

The tracking and alert features automatically send emails when the contract or any insurance or bond issuance are about to expire.

All contact personnel are entered for easy reference.

Other aspects needing to be tracked that do not come standard in the CT module can be setup with the custom form and field creation options. Users are able to create their own custom fields for tracking processes unique to their transit agency.
