Executive Summary
The company was previously managing manufacturing contracts with no documented approval processes or centralized repository, making renewals, retrieval, and cross-departmental coordination heavily manual. Legal team capacity was consumed by administrative overhead, contract negotiations lacked version control, and the business faced supply chain risk from poor contract visibility across global operations.
Volody replaced these fragmented processes with a unified manufacturing CLM, centralizing contract storage, standardizing approval workflows, and automating drafting, negotiation, and renewal tracking-helping the business improve productivity by 70%, save ₹18.6 crores annually, and achieve full process standardization across all locations.
Problem Statement
Fragmented Contract Processes Couldn't Match Global Manufacturing Scale
As a global footwear manufacturing leader operating across 25+ countries, the organization managed its contracts with no documented approval workflows or centralized repository. Renewals were tracked manually, contract retrieval was difficult across manufacturing locations, and coordination between legal, procurement, and manufacturing teams created friction. As a result, administrative overhead consumed 58% of legal team capacity.
The Challenge
Manual Workflows Created Bottlenecks Across Global Operations
The organization's rapid global expansion outpaced its ability to manage supplier contracts and manufacturing agreements consistently. Approval workflows were undocumented, contracts were scattered with no centralized repository, and renewal tracking relied on manual processes prone to missed deadlines.
As a result, teams faced supply chain risks, cross-departmental communication gaps, and version control issues that slowed contract negotiations. Limited visibility across manufacturing locations made it difficult to maintain consistency and manage vendor relationships efficiently.
Key Challenges were:
Without a unified system, the organization risked continued production delays, supply chain disruption, and an overburdened legal team unable to support its global growth.
The Solution
A Centralized CLM Built For Global Manufacturing Operations
The organization partnered with Volody to build a platform tailored to its global supplier network, manufacturing systems, and operational workflows.
Volody first worked to understand the company's existing contract processes, ERP integrations, and manufacturing requirements across all locations. Based on this, the platform was configured to centralize and standardize contracting at scale.
Centralized repository: Unified storage for all manufacturing contracts, supplier agreements, and operational documents with advanced search.
Standardized workflows: Customized approval processes for different manufacturing contract types while maintaining global consistency.
Contract requisition forms: Configured manufacturing-specific requisition forms to ensure comprehensive information capture.
Collaborative drafting: Enabled online contract creation and negotiation with full version control across stakeholders.
Manufacturing MIS: Delivered customized reports, dashboards, and automated contract expiry reminders.
Implementation
A 12-Week Rollout Across 25+ Countries
The implementation was a 12-week engagement, with the platform customized to the company's manufacturing locations, supplier relationships, and operational departments.
The implementation process involved:
Manufacturing Assessment → Supply Chain Integration Planning → Legacy Contract Migration → Workflow Standardization → Requisition Configuration → Repository Setup → Collaborative Drafting Setup → MIS Deployment
A key part of the implementation was migrating manufacturing agreements and supplier contracts across all global locations into Volody, creating a centralized and searchable repository of 1,200+ contracts.
The implementation team worked closely with legal, procurement, and manufacturing stakeholders to configure workflows around existing operations while introducing greater automation and visibility.
Our contracts were scattered across locations with no consistent approval process. Volody gave us one system to draft, negotiate, and track every supplier agreement, and that alone has removed weeks of delay from our operations

The Result
Centralized Contracts, Standardized Workflows, And 70% Higher Productivity
The implementation gave the company a centralized, standardized environment to manage contracts across all global manufacturing locations. With 1,200+ contracts unified and workflows aligned across departments, the legal and procurement teams gained greater speed, consistency, and visibility across the entire contract lifecycle.
