Auto-Renew Defense

Risk & compliance
Primary · Procurement
Secondary · Finance

Auto-renews are one of the largest sources of untracked cost-avoidance savings. The clause is designed to be forgotten: the notice window passes, and you are locked in for another year at last year's rate.

Flo reads the contract repository for auto-renew terms and notice windows, tracks each deadline, and surfaces every window well before it closes. It opens a renew-or-cancel decision for the owner with the date and terms attached.

Flo surfaces the window. Procurement decides. No contract renews by default, and the savings book as cost avoidance procurement can attribute, not luck. Flo does not cancel or renew on its own, or interpret terms as legal advice.
