Reminders for contract renewals or negotiations

Purpose

1. Automate reminders for cheese shop contract renewals or negotiations with suppliers, ensuring no renewal or negotiation opportunity is missed, compliance is maintained, and workflow is streamlining procurement processes for specialty foods retail.

2. Automating timely notifications to responsible staff, automated tracking of contract expiry dates, and automatable escalation to management if contracts are not actioned.

3. Automation alleviates manual monitoring, reduces error risk, boosts supplier relationship management, and secures ongoing cheese supply chain continuity.

Trigger Conditions

1. Contract expiry/renewal date is approaching (e.g., automated trigger at X days before expiry).

2. Automated status change in supplier contract lifecycle (e.g., "pending renewal").

3. Manual tagging of a contract for negotiation or renewal (automatable input).

4. New supplier contract entry with a future renewal date (automatically parsed).

5. Previous automated reminders unacknowledged or overdue escalation logic.
