Contracts

Never miss an appointment again, always on time.

With Contracts in OutSmart you automate recurring agreements with customers, such as annual maintenance of boilers, periodic inspections or service visits. Where companies often still work with loose lists or Excel files, OutSmart automatically generates work orders based on the contract. This ensures that no appointment is forgotten.

Why contract management without a system costs you money and clients

You have dozens of service contracts — but no system that tracks when what needs to happen.

“We missed a maintenance visit again last month” You have 40+ contracts but no system tracking them. A client calls angry, you search in Excel to see who was last there. The relationship is at risk. “We don't consistently meet our SLAs” Tracking response times per client, per contract, per priority level manually is impossible. When a claim comes in, you don't even know if you were at fault — because there's no record. “Contract billing goes wrong every month” Which clients need to be billed this month? You always miss one. Or invoice twice. And at month-end you manually search for everything to reconcile.
“Creating a new contract takes half an hour” Re-entering client data, setting rates, adjusting the schedule, informing the technician. Four steps in four systems — and if you forget one step the rest is wrong too. “After renewal the chaos starts again” Contracts expire without anyone noticing. The client asks for renewal, but you no longer know what the rates were or how many visits are still outstanding. “Technicians don't know which contract terms apply” Which SLA applies for this client? What are the agreed response times? They call the office. The office looks it up. Meanwhile the clock is ticking — and so is the SLA clock.

Sound familiar? Here’s how OutSmart solves this.

Years of experience

We constantly had to create work orders manually with pen and paper. By providing a clear digital system with many options, along with an excellent helpdesk that assists with everything, even the smallest questions, Outsmart has helped us.

Thomas Loos, Display4all

We used to lose work orders now and then, which made tracking time a challenge. With the easy digital entry of work orders, it's much simpler for the technician to manage the administration. Having 100% accurate work orders has definitely cut our administrative time in half.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about contract management and SLAs

Everything you want to know about digital contract management and SLA monitoring for service companies.

What is contract management software for service companies? +

Contract management software for service companies is a system that manages all service contracts, SLA agreements and periodic maintenance schedules in one overview. In OutSmart you link each contract to a client, set intervals and SLA agreements, and the system automatically handles work orders, planning and billing.

How does OutSmart automatically create work orders for service contracts? +

You enter the contract once in OutSmart with the agreed interval (monthly, quarterly or annually) and the assigned technician. On the agreed date OutSmart automatically creates a work order and puts it ready on the planning board. The technician sees the job immediately in the app — without you having to do anything.

How does OutSmart monitor my SLA agreements? +

Per client or contract type you set the maximum response time and resolution time. As soon as a breakdown report comes in, OutSmart starts the SLA timer. You see on the dashboard which reports are at risk of exceeding the deadline. After handling, the response and resolution time is recorded — verifiable in audits or disputes.

Can I automate periodic contract billing in OutSmart? +

Yes. Per contract you set the billing interval and rate. OutSmart automatically generates the invoice on the agreed date and forwards it to your accounting package — Exact Online, AFAS, Snelstart or Moneybird. No more manual checking, no missed invoices.

What is the difference between a service contract and an SLA in OutSmart? +

A service contract in OutSmart manages the periodic maintenance moments: when, who, how often and at what rate. An SLA (Service Level Agreement) is the associated agreement on response and resolution times for breakdowns. In OutSmart you manage both in one screen per client.

Can I use OutSmart for multi-year service contracts? +

Yes. You set the duration and the automatically repeating interval. OutSmart alerts you before a contract expires — so you can renew on time without missing maintenance or billing stopping.
