Every variation, claim and notice in one register
Contract lifecycle management with the commercial detail that actually decides entitlement — variations, claims, notices, determinations, retention and securities — and a cash flow forecast that updates as they move.
The variation you find after the final claim
Variations get raised in email, negotiated in meetings and recorded — eventually — in a spreadsheet somebody maintains alongside their real job. Notices have time bars. Retention has release dates. Securities have expiry dates. All of it is knowable, and all of it is routinely missed.
The failure is not dramatic. It is a variation nobody formalised, a notice served two days after the contractual window, or a retention release that quietly stopped being chased. Each one is recoverable value that leaves the business, and the cash flow forecast is rebuilt from scratch every month regardless.
Contract data with the commercial detail intact
duBizz holds the contract, its line items, and every commercial event against it — variations with status and value, claims, notices with their dates, determinations, retention held and released, and securities with expiry. Nothing depends on someone remembering to update a parallel spreadsheet.
Cash flow is forecast per contract item across multiple profiles, so the commercial position updates as variations are approved rather than being reconstructed monthly. Because procurement and invoicing sit in the same platform, committed cost and actual spend connect back to the contract that authorised them.
What you actually get
Contracts and line items
The full contract structure with line-item detail, so value, progress and entitlement are tracked at the level commercial decisions are actually made.
Variations and claims
Raise, value, status-track and approve variations and claims against the contract, with a complete history of who changed what and when.
Notices and determinations
Notices recorded with their dates and determinations against them — the contemporaneous record that decides time-barred entitlement arguments.
Retention and securities
Retention held and released, and securities with expiry dates tracked, so nothing lapses or goes unclaimed by omission.
Cash flow forecasting per item
Multi-profile cash flow forecasting at contract-item level that updates as commercial events land — not a monthly rebuild in a spreadsheet.
Connected to procurement and invoicing
Requisitions, purchase records and invoices link back to the contract that authorised them, so committed and actual cost reconcile without export.
Where teams go next
Commercial teams usually adopt this module because a specific claim or variation went badly. Once contract data is structured, procurement and invoicing are the immediate next connections — committed cost and actual spend against the contract that authorised them — and from there into the general ledger.
Contract Management — common questions
Does it handle AS 4000 and AS 2124 style contract structures?
Can we run this without moving our finance system?
How does it handle head contract and subcontract in parallel?
