# Never miss a contract renewal deadline

I spent 12 years in the music industry. Both while running my business and when selling it, I needed to manage contracts with suppliers, customers, freelancers, employees, insurances, and subscriptions. The tools available were inadequate.

Most businesses use a combination of cloud storage, spreadsheets, and calendar reminders. This works until it doesn't. A missed notice period on a lease. An auto-renewal that wasn't cancelled in time. A deadline that wasn't tracked properly.

The cost of these oversights adds up. That's why I built Contracko.

## What Contracko does

Contracko is a centralized system for tracking contracts and deadlines. It handles three things: extracting contract details automatically, setting reminders before critical dates, and organizing everything in one searchable repository.

### AI contract analysis

Upload a contract file—PDF, Word doc, or scan. Our [AI extracts all key metadata](https://contracko.com/features/ai-contract-analysis): parties involved, financial terms, start and end dates, renewal cycles, notice periods, and contract obligations. It also generates a summary of the agreement.

The AI reasons about dates. If a contract states a one-year term starting January 1st, it infers the end date. If there's a 30-day notice requirement, it calculates when action is needed.

This eliminates manual data entry. You no longer need to read the fine print.

### Expiration reminders

Contracko creates [staggered expiration reminders](https://contracko.com/features/expiration-reminder) for critical dates. A notice period doesn't just get one reminder on the date—it gets multiple reminders before that date.

For example: one month before the notice deadline, then one week before. This provides multiple opportunities to act.

Reminders arrive via email with context: which contract, what deadline, why it matters, and a direct link to the full document.

### Contract repository

Every contract lives in [one searchable location](https://contracko.com/features/contract-repository). Filter by status, counterparty, category, or date. Find any agreement in seconds.

Each contract can include supporting documents—addendums, amendments, internal notes. Everything stays organized and accessible.

### Calendar integration

Contracko generates a [calendar feed](https://contracko.com/features/calendar-integration) that syncs with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook. Contract dates—start dates, end dates, notice deadlines, reminders—appear alongside meetings and tasks.

The feed updates automatically. Add a contract, it appears in your calendar. Update a deadline, it refreshes. This allows planning around contract obligations rather than reacting to them.

## Who uses it
