Case Study: Hirschmann Automotive achieves streamlined contract lifecycle management with Scanmarket

Hirschmann Automotive - Customer Case Study

Hirschmann Automotive, a 60‑year veteran specializing in automotive connectors, cable assemblies and sensors, faced a lengthy, multi‑party contract management process that needed restructuring. The company required a Microsoft Word–based authoring environment with check‑in/check‑out, formalized workflows, centralized storage and a full audit trail to speed up creation, review and approval of contracts across its international organization.

Symfact (Scanmarket) configured a Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) system that integrated Word authoring, a rule‑based workflow engine, centralized repository and version history, with automated task assignments, access controls and full audit logging. The solution consolidated all contract records, managed related documents (amendments, SOWs, subcontracts), enabled data sync with systems like SAP and AD, improved reporting and compliance, and significantly streamlined review, negotiation and approval processes.
