NEW: Concord’s Calendar Integration Makes Sure You Never Miss a Deadline!
Have you ever felt that sinking feeling when you realize you’ve missed an important contract renewal date? We’ve all been there. That moment when you discover a critical deadline has passed without your team taking action can be gut-wrenching—especially when it leads to unfavorable terms, service interruptions, or damaged business relationships.
At Concord, we’ve heard your stories, and we’re excited to announce a solution that will help you sleep better at night: seamless calendar integration that brings your contract deadlines directly into the tools you already use every day.
Why contract deadlines keep us up at night
Let’s be honest—juggling contract deadlines alongside everything else on your plate is challenging. You’re switching between systems, mentally tracking important dates, and hoping nothing falls through the cracks.
The cost of this juggling act is real. Recent industry research shows that businesses lose an average of 9.2% of their annual contract value due to poor contract management, with missed deadlines being one of the main culprits. That’s not just a statistic—it’s late nights, emergency meetings, and difficult conversations with partners when things go wrong.
We designed our new calendar integration feature to eliminate this stress by bringing your contract milestones right where you need them most—in your daily calendar.
Your contract deadlines, right where you need them
Whether your team lives in Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, or Apple Calendar (iCal), we’ve got you covered. Our new integration works seamlessly with all three platforms:
- Microsoft Outlook: Perfect for enterprise environments and Microsoft 365 users
- Google Calendar: Ideal for Google Workspace users and teams that collaborate in the Google ecosystem
- Apple Calendar (iCal): Seamless integration for Mac, iPhone, and iPad users
This means your contract deadlines appear alongside your meetings and other commitments—no more system-hopping required.
Setting it up is refreshingly simple:
- Head to the Deadlines section in Concord (just click the calendar icon)
- Filter your deadlines to see exactly what matters to you
- Click the Link icon in the top-right corner
- Choose your calendar app and follow the quick connection steps
Once connected, your deadlines appear in your calendar with everything you need to stay on top of them:
- Clear titles showing the parties and contract name
- All-day reminder format that won’t clutter your schedule
- Rich descriptions with direct links back to the contract in Concord
This isn’t just another notification—it’s bringing contract management into your natural workflow.
Beyond just not missing deadlines
While “never miss a deadline again” might be reason enough to celebrate, the real magic happens when calendar integration transforms how your entire team approaches contract management:
Team collaboration that actually works
How many times has someone on your team said, “I didn’t know that was coming up”? By sharing calendar subscriptions with colleagues, everyone stays in the loop without needing Concord access. Your finance team knows when payments are due, legal can prepare for renewal negotiations, and department leaders can plan for service transitions—all without another login to remember.
Different views for different needs
Your procurement team cares about vendor renewals. Your sales team watches customer agreements. With custom calendar subscriptions based on filtered views, each department gets exactly the deadline information they need—nothing more, nothing less.
Always up-to-date, no maintenance required
As your contract portfolio evolves with new deadlines, updated terms, or removed milestones, your calendar updates automatically. No manual syncing, no outdated information—just reliable deadline management that works silently in the background.
The real-world impact we’re already seeing
The numbers tell a compelling story about what happens when contract deadlines become part of daily workflow:
A technology company we work with reduced missed renewals by 93% in just one quarter after implementation. Their procurement team no longer scrambles through emergency purchasing situations or explains to the CFO why they’re stuck with unfavorable terms.
Meanwhile, a financial services client streamlined quarterly compliance reviews by giving auditors access to a dedicated deadline calendar. They cut preparation time by 67%, freeing their legal team to focus on more strategic work instead of hunting down contract dates.
Take the first step today
We built this integration because we’ve felt the pain of missed deadlines ourselves. Contract management shouldn’t keep you up at night or create unexpected fire drills for your team.
Ready to transform how you handle contract deadlines? Log into your Concord account today, navigate to the Deadlines section, and click that Link icon to get started. It takes less than a minute to set up, but the peace of mind lasts much longer.
Your future self—with fewer emergencies and more strategic control over your contracts—will thank you.
