Why Manual Review Slows Procurement Down
Reviewing supplier contracts manually requires time, legal support, and consistency - which procurement teams rarely have at scale. When timelines are tight and dozens of documents are in-flight, manual review becomes a bottleneck.
- 2–3 hours per agreement, even for common templates
- High reliance on playbooks and checklists
- Key clause risks often buried or overlooked
CompareX removes that bottleneck with instant clause-level visibility and automated policy checks.

- Applies your internal risk standards to highlight concerns
- Answers procurement-specific questions in plain English

It’s more than redlining - it’s AI-driven risk insight for procurement at scale.
