How Coca-Cola Bottling Company UNITED Mitigates Contract Risk

SITUATION


As an Enterprise Company, They Needed to Find the Right Contract Management Software 

Coca-Cola Bottling Company UNITED (CCBCU) is the third largest bottler of Coca-Cola products in the United States. CCBCU faced several challenges related to how it was managing its contracts, starting with trying to understand the scope and scale of its legal agreements with customers, suppliers, and partners across all its entities. After a long research and evaluation process, it turned to Contract Logix’s data-driven contract lifecycle management (CLM) solution to centralize its contracts.

 

AT-A-GLANCE


Business Contract Challenges for Enterprise Businesses 

CCBCU was managing a significant number of contracts across the organization, with each Sales Center managing its contracts autonomously. There were also numerous manual processes for contracts and limited standardized processes for contract requests.   

  • Inefficient, insecure, and resource-intensive manual contract management process that couldn’t scale to meet the needs of a much larger organization.
  • Difficulty managing and locating a significant amount of contracts and documents scattered across 48 sales and distribution centers and eight production facilities throughout six states.

They needed a contract management software partner that could share best practices on how to drive broader user adoption across each of its eight corporate divisions. 

 

Contract processes that took hours to complete can now be automated in seconds.
