Deploy a Contract Renewal Agent and Price Renewals on Real Scope
The Contract Renewal Agent in EngageSuite360 takes the scope true-up off your account manager and your service manager — the people who today discover at renewal time that the client added users, sites and services all year that the agreement never covered. Your account manager still sets the price and leads the conversation; they just start from what the client actually uses.
What it takes off your plate
Ask an account manager about renewal pricing and you'll hear: "We're always behind the client." The agreement was signed for a head count and a device list that changed the month after go-live. A new site came online. The client started asking for help with a cloud app you don't formally support. Nobody updated the contract, so your team has been delivering more than it's paid for.
Then the renewal date arrives with little warning, because expiration dates live in PDFs and a spreadsheet. The proposal is built from scratch or copied from last year. Either the price stays wrong for another term, or the account manager raises it without being able to show why, and the client hears a price increase instead of a scope update.
What the Contract Renewal Agent does, step by step
The Contract Renewal Agent starts with the people who know what changed.
- It starts ahead of the notice date. The agent tracks every contract's expiration and notice dates and opens the renewal early enough to talk before anything is due.
- It asks your team what changed. The agent messages the service manager and the client's primary technician for anything the data won't show: new apps they're supporting, recurring requests outside the agreement.
- It confirms with the client. The agent sends the client's contact the current user, device and site list and asks them to confirm or correct it.
- It reconciles scope. The agent compares users, devices, sites and services in the PSA against what the agreement covers and lists every difference.
- It totals out-of-scope work. The agent pulls the year's billable and unbilled work outside the agreement, grouped by type.
- It drafts the renewal. Using your agreement template and price list, the agent drafts the proposal with updated scope and pricing, and a plain side-by-side of the current and proposed coverage.
- It hands it to the account manager. The account manager decides the price, the options and what to recommend.
- It tracks signature. Once approved, the agent sends the agreement, follows up with the signer, answers routine questions and updates the contract record when it's signed.
The Contract Renewal Agent never sets prices or agrees to terms. Those stay with your account manager.
Where the work is recorded
Every renewal is recorded in EngageSuite360 on the client account, its contract and its decision-maker contact: the scope confirmed by the client, the differences found, the proposal sent and the next step written down — "client confirmed device list," "proposal sent, signer reminded." Each renewal is an opportunity, and support the client wants for services outside the agreement becomes its own opportunity.
The agreements, devices and billing live in ConnectWise, where the agent reads scope and updates the agreement after signature.
When your account manager opens EngageSuite360 in the morning, they see renewals coming up, the scope gap on each, and which proposals wait on a signature. When your owner reviews the book, every agreement matches what the client actually has.
What your people do instead
Your account manager sits with the client and walks through the year: what grew, what the team handled, what's planned next. Your service manager plans staffing around the scope the client is actually paying for. Your technicians stop quietly absorbing work nobody priced.
A renewal that shows the client exactly what they're getting is one they sign with confidence. The EngageSuite360 Contract Renewal Agent keeps the tracking, reconciling and chasing moving so your people can serve.
