Customer and Lead ManagementPurpose
1. Automatically monitor and identify when agricultural service contracts or subscriptions are approaching expiration, to proactively notify internal teams or customers, reducing risk of service interruption and ensuring high renewal rates.
2. Support compliance, enhance customer retention, schedule renewals/follow-ups, enable reporting, and optimize field service deployment.
3. Aggregate contract data from multiple sources (e.g., CRMs, ERPs, spreadsheets) and unify reminders across communication channels including email, SMS, chat, and dashboards.
Trigger Conditions
1. Contract/subscription expiration date is within a specified threshold (e.g., 30, 14, 7, or 1 day remaining).
2. Entry of a new contract/subscription with an already-near expiration.
3. Change in contract/subscription status to "pending renewal."
4. Manual trigger by field staff for high-priority contracts.
5. Failure of a previous renewal attempt.
