About This Automation

Renewal management involves tracking software subscriptions, gathering renewal terms, securing approvals, and processing payments across multiple vendors. Manual tracking through spreadsheets and email creates delays, missed renewals, and duplicate data entry across systems.

Automation monitors subscription dates, retrieves renewal details from vendor records, routes approvals automatically, and syncs payment records across accounting and CRM systems. The result is faster renewals, fewer missed dates, and accurate financial records.

Key features
Monitor subscription dates and flag renewals due within 30 days automatically
Gather renewal terms and pricing from vendor records without manual email searches
Route renewal requests to finance with all required details for instant approval
Create bills in accounting software and update tracking sheets in real time
Send renewal confirmations to stakeholders and archive invoices automatically
Track renewal completion in CRM for vendor relationship management

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Renewal Date Within 30 Daystrigger

The automation platform monitors the subscription tracking sheet daily. When a renewal date falls within 30 days, the workflow is triggered automatically.

2. Fetch Renewal Details from Vendor Records

The system retrieves the current contract terms, pricing, and renewal cost from the vendor database or previous invoice records stored.

3. Send Approval Request to Finance

An email is sent to the finance manager with the renewal details, cost, and business justification. The email includes a link to approve or reject the renewal.

4. Approval Received?

The system waits for the finance manager to respond. If approved, the workflow continues. If rejected or no response within 5 days, an escalation alert is sent.

5. Process Renewal Payment

Once approved, the system creates a bill with the renewal cost, vendor name, and due date. A notification is sent to the finance team to process payment.

6. Update Renewal Date in Tracking Sheet

The subscription list is updated with the new renewal date, invoice number, and payment status. The old renewal record is archived.

7. Notify Stakeholders

A confirmation message is posted to the relevant channel confirming the renewal is complete and the software will remain active.

8. Log Renewal

The renewal completion is recorded as a completed activity on the vendor record for relationship tracking and audit purposes.
