index4cloud
Automatic contract adjustments
per price index
When and in which practical scenarios can
exploit the full potential of index4cloud?
Effective contract management is often associated with a high level of manual effort – especially when it comes to regular price adjustments.
With our index4cloud add-on, you can lay the foundations for future-proof, scalable and efficient contract management.
index4cloud is an innovative extension for your SAP Business ByDesign that allows you to automatically adjust contract items based on a price increase index. All changes are also documented in an audit-proof manner.
Current contracts with price indices
If prices are linked to index references (e.g. commodity index, energy prices) and should change automatically over time, index4cloud takes care of the adjustments – reliably, without manual intervention.
High volume of contracts
with a similar structure
For companies with numerous, comparable contracts (e.g. in facility management, leasing or maintenance), index4cloud saves resources because price changes are scaled automatically.
Fast market adaptation & compliance
If market prices change regularly – for example due to inflation indices or regulatory requirements – index4cloud ensures that your conditions are always up-to-date and compliant.
Minimization of price errors & invoice variances
Automation reduces the risk of manual input errors and ensures that contracts and invoices are mapped consistently and correctly.
Efficiency in the quotation and billing process
Sales and accounting gain valuable time – quotations are prepared faster and invoices are accurate. This increases process quality and internal satisfaction enormously.
