Icertis, the contract intelligence company that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with contract lifecycle management (CLM), announced that Krones has selected Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) to digitally transform its contracting processes for sales and procurement operations across the enterprise. Icertis will streamline and unify contract management for the company’s headquarters in Neutraubling, enabling increased visibility and compliance with contractual obligations across both buy-side and sell-side contracts.
German packaging and bottling machine manufacturer Krones will integrate ICI with SAP Ariba and Salesforce to connect contract data to core systems and unlock enterprise-wide intelligence. The company will also utilize the Icertis DiscoverAI and AI Studio applications, which leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to bring static legacy agreements and third-party contracts to life to uncover hidden revenue, savings, and risks and ensure clauses meet standard terms.
