Features

A contract monitoring product built for action, not just analysis

Custonic is not trying to become a full CLM platform. It gives finance, procurement, and legal teams a shared operating view of the contract risks that matter most before they become cost, lock-in, or compliance drag.

What the platform delivers

01 · AI risk analysis

Find the clauses that create commercial exposure before they become expensive

Custonic uses a dual-model workflow to screen contracts quickly and then deepen analysis only where it matters. That keeps the experience fast while maintaining high-value reasoning on the clauses most likely to affect cost, compliance, and switching flexibility.

The system works across 12 risk categories, including auto-renewal, price escalation, hidden costs, data portability, unfair terms, security, jurisdiction and more. Each finding is explainable instead of opaque.

This matters because contract review only becomes operationally useful when the reasoning is specific enough for a team to act on it.

Commercial impact

Renewal trap could extend spend by €24,000 annually

Switching support fees may add €8,000 in exit cost

Renegotiation window opens in 31 days

Potential savings identified across 3 vendor agreements

02 · Financial impact

Translate legal wording into cost, savings, and commercial leverage

Many tools stop at severity labels. Custonic goes further by estimating the likely financial impact of a clause pattern so finance and leadership teams can understand why a finding deserves attention now.

That could mean showing the annual cost of a renewal trap, the likely exposure created by switching fees, or the savings opportunity available in the next renegotiation cycle.

Quantification turns contract intelligence into something budget owners can actually prioritize.

Board-ready output

Three-point summary

Read time

1 min

One vendor cluster requires immediate review before renewal.

Two contracts contain outdated switching-fee logic.

The highest-value action is renegotiating notice windows this quarter.

03 · Executive summaries

Give leadership a one-minute view without making them read the full contract

Every analysis is distilled into a concise executive summary so leadership teams can understand the contract posture without reading through every flagged clause or legal explanation.

This is especially useful near renewals, procurement escalations, or board discussions where clarity matters more than document volume.

The result is a shared narrative that legal, finance, and procurement can all align around.

Regulatory checks

Jurisdiction-aware review

Launch scope

EU + UK

EU Data Act switching rights cross-check complete

GDPR-adjacent data use language needs review

Termination notice exceeds current preferred threshold

Data export wording requires operational fallback planning

04 · Multi-jurisdiction compliance

Check contracts against the European rules that actually shape your operating risk

Custonic is built around the legal reality of European buyers, not a US-first contract model. The system highlights risks against EU Data Act obligations, GDPR-adjacent issues, and launch-priority regional checks.

That makes it easier to see where older vendor agreements have drifted away from the regulatory context your business now operates in.

Instead of treating compliance as a separate workstream, Custonic brings it into the contract review flow itself.

05 · Smart dashboard

See portfolio posture, deadlines, and savings in one operational layer

The dashboard is designed for prioritization rather than visual noise. Teams can understand where the portfolio is stable, where review pressure is building, and which contracts deserve attention next.

It combines risk scoring, timeline visibility, and financial impact so the product works for ongoing monitoring rather than one-off document review.

For leadership teams, that creates an operating view. For procurement teams, it creates a plan.

06 · Proactive alerts & integrations

Move before renewal windows close — via email and API

A contract risk monitor only earns its place if it helps teams act before time-sensitive clauses become irreversible. Custonic delivers email notifications and weekly portfolio digests, while Professional and Enterprise customers can use the authenticated REST API in their own workflows.

That means teams are not only told what is risky. They are told when the business needs to move, through the channel most likely to reach the right person at the right moment.

From deadline email alerts to a weekly leadership summary, the notification layer keeps each role focused on the next action.

Built for your role

Whether you lead finance, procurement, or legal — Custonic speaks your language

Finance & leadership

Know what your contracts actually cost

Every risk finding includes a financial impact estimate in EUR. Your dashboard shows aggregated savings opportunities across the entire portfolio — numbers you can take to the board.

  • Portfolio-level savings visibility
  • Board-ready risk summaries
  • Renewal cost forecasting

Procurement & operations

Never miss a termination window again

Automatic deadline tracking at 90, 60, 30, 14, and 7 days. Custonic flags auto-renewal traps, switching fee exposure, and lock-in periods before they become expensive commitments.

  • Automated renewal alerts
  • Vendor lock-in detection
  • Bulk contract onboarding

Legal & compliance

EU Data Act checks in minutes, not days

Scoped analysis against the EU Data Act, UK DMCCA readiness, DACH consumer/AGB rules, and EU AI Act procurement duties. Findings cite the reviewed provision and show confidence and human-review flags.

  • Article-level regulation references
  • Multi-jurisdiction coverage
  • Confidence scoring with review flags

January 2027 deadline approaching

The EU Data Act switching-fee ban takes effect in less than five months

  • Cloud switching rights are already enforceable, and legacy agreements may now contain unfair lock-in terms that need review.
  • Data portability and short termination windows are now operational requirements — not something to address at renewal time.
  • From 12 January 2027, Article 29 prohibits defined switching charges. Standard service fees and early-termination penalties remain outside that definition, so each fee must be classified before renegotiation.
