Case Study: Redwood Logistics achieves faster contract renewal reviews with Gatekeeper

Redwood Logistics returns 300 hours to procurement with Gatekeeper

Redwood Logistics, a fourth-party logistics provider, faced a significant challenge in managing its extensive portfolio of approximately 300 annual contract renewals. Each renewal required up to an hour of manual research by their procurement team to gather context on vendor performance, spending, and contract terms before a decision could be made. This process was consuming hundreds of hours of senior staff time each year. To address this, they turned to vendor Gatekeeper and implemented its Contract Renewal Agent.

Gatekeeper's solution automated the manual preparation work. Its Contract Renewal Agent was deployed to instantly generate a structured renewal brief for each contract, providing a summary, spend data, and a recommendation. This eliminated the need for procurement to start each renewal from a blank page. The implementation returned approximately 300 hours of preparation time to Redwood's procurement team annually, allowing them to reallocate that time to strategic sourcing and negotiation activities.
