Manage all your contracts centrally
When contract data, documents and deadlines sit in different places — emails, folders, spreadsheets — it gets hard to keep an up-to-date overview. Kernas brings contracts, their documents and deadlines together in one place.
Keep contract deadlines in view
Kernas manages a contract's start date, term, automatic renewal and notice period. Upcoming deadlines become visible and can be acted on in time.
Link contracts to your business data
Kernas doesn't manage contracts in isolation — it connects them to the operational information they belong to. For example, a vehicle with its lease contract, a property with its rental agreement, or an asset with its service contract. Contracts can also be linked to one another, such as an amendment to its main contract.
Capture contracts with AI
Upload an existing contract document as a PDF or scan and capture contract information with AI assistance. Kernas recognizes relevant contract information and suggests matching fields — among others, the contract party, start date, initial term, automatic renewal, notice period, amounts and payment interval. Every recognized value is shown before it's applied and can be reviewed and confirmed.
Manage contract documents centrally
Multiple documents can be stored per contract, including version history for earlier versions.
Assign contract parties centrally
Contract parties can be added as standalone entries, or as companies already captured in the Organizations module, with a role and a marked primary counterparty. Multiple contract parties per contract are supported.
Manage different contract types centrally
Maintenance contracts, service contracts, rental agreements, lease agreements, supplier contracts or insurance contracts can all be represented consistently within contract management. Contract types share the same flexible contract model and have no separate specialized workflows.
Contract management instead of spreadsheets
A contract list in Excel gives you a first overview. As the number of contracts grows, documents, contract parties, terms and deadlines often end up scattered across different places. Kernas brings contract data and related information together centrally, and additionally links contracts directly to the business data they belong to.
