The T-Systems Supply Chain Transparency Suite enables a central contract repository for collaboration and documentation, thus allowing end-to-end management of contractual obligations with suppliers, in compliance with LkSG. The offering helps set up highly adaptable auditing and de-risking workflows, through which each supplier globally is initially and permanently checked with AI-powered contract analysis of the obligations and the ability to remotely inspect using AR. Contractual agreements (such as the declaration of principle on respecting human rights required by the LkSG) and certificates or audits are combined with information from existing systems (e.g. for purchasing) in Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM).
