The Date That Matters Is the Exit Window - Not the Contract End

The exit window is the period before a contract ends during which you must give notice to cancel or renegotiate. If you miss it, the contract auto-renews on the supplier's terms. Most tools alert you when the contract expires - by that point the exit window has already closed and you are locked in. ExpiryEdge calculates and alerts on the exit window date, not the end date, so you still have a choice.

Any contract with an auto-renewal clause or a fixed notice period for exit - supplier and vendor agreements, SaaS and software subscriptions, office and equipment leases, maintenance contracts, insurance renewals, utility and telecoms contracts, and partner or reseller agreements. If missing the exit window costs you money or locks you into another term, it should be in ExpiryEdge.

You enter the contract end date and the notice period required to exit - for example 60 days. ExpiryEdge subtracts the notice period from the end date to identify the latest date you can act, then sends reminders before that date. You receive staged alerts - "exit window opens in 30 days", "exit window closes in 14 days" - not one generic reminder.

Yes. For each contract you assign who receives the renewal alerts - finance, procurement, legal, or the account manager for that supplier. Different contracts can have different owners and different alert recipients. The right person is notified for each relationship, not just whoever set up the system.

You mark the contract as Renewing, Renegotiating, or Cancelling. If renewing, ExpiryEdge schedules the next reminder cycle automatically when you update the expiry date. There is an auditable record of who made the decision and when. No contract can silently auto-renew without someone having made a deliberate choice.
