Contract management, connected to every invoice.
Before the invoice, there was a contract. It set the price, the terms and the budget. Medius Contracts puts it next to your spend, so you can see whether what you agreed is what you are paying.
Why Medius Contracts?
AI reads every contract
Upload an agreement and AI classifies it, pulls out the terms, obligations and stakeholders, and files it against the right supplier. No manual entry. Once a contract is onboarded, ask Contract Copilot a question about it.
Connected to where
you spend
Medius Contracts is part of the Medius suite. It sits alongside Accounts Payable and Procurement. See purchase requests, purchase orders, goods receipts and invoices on the contract record itself.
Every key date, with alerts
Auto-renewal dates, notice periods and expiry are tracked across all your contracts in one place, with alerts ahead of each one, so a renewal is never discovered after it has auto-extended.
Signing is just the beginning.
A contract is managed from the first request through to renewal. Most contract tools cover the half that gets you to signature. Medius Contracts works on the half that comes after, where the money actually moves.
Steps 1 to 3 get you to signature. Steps 4 to 7 are where the value you negotiated is either realized or quietly lost.
Step 6 in one view: every contract’s status, upcoming renewals and the items waiting on you.

AI intake
Every contract, structured.
AI classifies each agreement and extracts the terms, obligations and stakeholders into a contract graph, giving the AI a connected view of your portfolio rather than a flat pile of PDFs.
Approvals
Approvals and signature, built in.
Sequential and parallel approval steps, with conditions, configured per contract type. DocuSign signature is built in, not bolted on.
Spend visibility
Spend against contract, in one view.
From purchase request through to invoice, see what has been committed and what has been invoiced against the contract value, on the contract record itself.
Amendments
Amendments, tracked on the record.
Raise a variation against a contract and route it for approval. Approved variations update the contract record automatically, and every variation stays in the contract history.
Alerts
Reminders that reach the right people.
Set expiry, review and termination-notice alerts on each contract, with reminders at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days, sent to the people who need them.
Audit trail
A full record of every step.
From upload and AI extraction through approval, signature and variation, every change is logged on the contract with who made it and when.
Medius Copilot
Ask your contracts a question.
Ask Contract Copilot about your whole portfolio in plain language. Which contracts expire soon? Which auto-renew? Which are the highest value? You get the answer as a table you can export, without opening a PDF.
Product tour
A quick look at Medius Contracts.
The gap costs about
2% of spend.
Unfulfilled supplier obligations leak around 2% of spend. On a two billion dollar base that is forty million a year. Nine in ten executives call digitizing contract compliance to flag that leakage business-critical.

Third-party analyst recognition.
You can trust an AP automation software that goes beyond the basics—and above the competition—when it's been fully vetted by leading analyst firms, like Ardent Partners, The Hackett Group, IDC, and by verified customers.
One contract, connected across the suite.
A contract in Medius is more than a document. It is read by AI, linked to your
spend, approved and signed, and watched for key dates, all on one record.
Five ways it works.
AI reads it
Terms, obligations and stakeholders extracted.
Linked to spend
Requests, orders, receipts and invoices.
Approved and signed
Approval workflow and DocuSign built in.
Key dates alerted
Renewal and expiry reminders.
Changes on record
Variations and a full history.
Standalone contract tools stop at the signature. Inside Medius, the contract keeps working.

| The problem today | What it costs | With Medius Contracts | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purchase orders raised against contracts nobody has read. | Around 2% of spend lost to unfulfilled obligations. | |
AI reads and structures every agreement on intake. |
| AP processing against amounts and terms it cannot verify. | Compliance you cannot prove until audit. |  |
Contracts linked to requests, purchase orders and invoices. |
| Finance forecasting against PDFs on a file share. | Negotiated savings that never reach the invoice. |  |
Requests, orders, receipts and invoices visible on the contract. |
| Renewals that slip and SLAs nobody checks. | Renewals landing on the supplier’s terms, not yours. |  |
Auto-renewals and notice periods surfaced before they bite. |

Contract management FAQs
Medius Contracts is contract management built inside the Medius suite. AI reads and structures every agreement on intake, and the contract is then linked to the purchase requests, purchase orders and invoices that spend against it, so you can see what you agreed and what you are actually paying in the same place.
Most contract lifecycle management tools focus on getting an agreement to signature: drafting, review, negotiation and approval. Medius Contracts covers that, and then keeps working through execution, monitoring and renewal, where the value you negotiated is either realized or quietly lost. Because it sits inside the suite that already processes your invoices, it can show contract and spend together rather than asking you to reconcile two systems.
Medius Contracts is the new generation of contract management from Medius. Existing Medius Contract Management customers have a supported migration path, with contracts, metadata and history carried across rather than re-entered. Speak to your account team about timing for your organization.
Yes. Purchase requests, purchase orders, goods receipts and invoices are visible on the contract record itself, so you can see what has been committed and invoiced against the contract value.
Yes. DocuSign e-signature is built in, and configurable approval workflows run before signature, with sequential or parallel steps, conditions and escalation.
Medius Contracts delivers most value when the contract can be checked against the spend flowing through Medius, so it is designed to sit alongside AP Automation and procurement. Talk to us about your situation and we will be straight with you about what you would and would not get.
Upload them and AI classifies each one and extracts the terms, obligations and stakeholders. For existing Medius customers, contracts can be imported and automatically linked to the matching purchase orders, invoices and suppliers.
Medius Contracts runs on the Medius suite platform, with single sign-on, a full audit trail and the same security posture as the rest of the suite. Details are available in the Medius Trust Center.
