Stop Leaving Money on the Table at Renewal Time

If you've ever negotiated a contract renewal while feeling rushed, underprepared, or unsure of your alternatives, you’re not alone. Many business managers juggle dozens (sometimes hundreds) of vendor agreements, and keeping track of renewal dates or notice periods often falls into the “later” basket. The result is familiar: renewal conversations happen too late, leverage disappears, and you end up accepting whatever terms are placed in front of you simply to keep the service running smoothly.

The frustrating part? There’s usually a better deal on the table, but only if you’re proactive.

 

The Problem: Time Works Against You in Renewals

Most businesses aren’t missing opportunities because they’re careless. They’re missing them because tracking contract dates is surprisingly messy. Renewal deadlines hide in PDFs, emails, shared drives, or spreadsheets that only get updated when someone remembers to do it. Calendar reminders help, but only if the person who set them is still in the business.

When renewal dates sneak up on you:

  • There’s no time to benchmark or compare alternatives.

  • You lose the negotiation advantage (suppliers love when you’re the one scrambling).

  • Notice periods expire and you get locked in for another term you didn’t choose.

  • Discounts, service improvements, and pricing concessions go unexplored.

The vendor controls the conversation, and you’re essentially negotiating with one hand tied behind your back.

 

How Miova Puts You Back in Control

Miova makes contract renewals predictable, visible, and proactive. Instead of discovering renewal dates after it’s too late, Miova gives you a clear runway to prepare.

Here’s how:

  • Automatic Renewal and Termination Tracking: Miova centralises all your vendor contracts and keeps track of key dates for you, no spreadsheets required.

  • Monthly Renewal Summaries: Every month, you receive a simple, easy-to-scan update showing how many contracts are up for renewal or need to be cancelled in the next 30 and 60 days.

  • No More Missed Notice Periods: If you don't want to continue with a service, Miova flags it early, so you have time to notify the vendor before being rolled into another term.

  • Better Negotiation Outcomes: With time on your side, you’re free to evaluate performance, benchmark pricing, and negotiate from a position of knowledge, not panic.

Proactive renewal management isn’t just about avoiding mistakes. It’s about securing the best possible deal every time you renew. Lower spend. Better terms. Stronger supplier partnerships.

Miova helps you do that without the admin stress. If you're ready to launch the contract management platform that'll make you a procurement and negotiating superstar, get started today.
