Vendor & Contract Desk

Keep your vendors and contracts, with their renewal dates, in one place. An office administrator tracks what each contract costs a year, when its term ends, how much notice it needs and whether it renews on its own, and reminds you two weeks before a notice date.

What’s inside

The crew

Plans it follows

  • Audit Recurring SubscriptionsAudit a set of transactions or a vendor list to find every recurring subscription, normalize each to a monthly cost, surface duplicates, price hikes, and zombie/unused services, and produce a prioritized cancel/keep recommendation report.
  • Option Comparison MatrixCompare a set of options against weighted criteria and ship an interactive HTML comparison matrix with a recommendation: a planner locks the options, the criteria, and their weights, a researcher fills every cell with an evidence-backed value, and a developer builds a single-file HTML page with a sortable/filterable comparison table and a scored recommendation.
  • Contract Template (Non-Legal-Advice)Draft a reusable, plain-language agreement template — service agreement, NDA, freelance contract, or terms — with clearly marked fill-in fields, structured numbered clauses, and a prominent non-legal-advice disclaimer.

Actions the crew can take

  • Contracts statusWhat needs deciding on the contract desk: notice dates and automatic renewals within 90 days, missed ones first, each with vendor, owner, dates and yearly cost, plus yearly spend by kind.
  • Add contractSave a contract: title, vendor, kind, yearly or monthly cost in dollars, when the current term ends (YYYY-MM-DD), whether it renews on its own, notice days and owner.
  • Renew contractRecord that a contract was renewed.
  • Cancel contractRecord that notice went out to end a contract, with how it was sent and any reference exactly as written.
  • Set contract statusMark a contract under review (renegotiating or comparing quotes), active again, or ended.
  • Add vendorSave a vendor with its kind and contact, including one with no contract (the electrician you call when something breaks).
  • Attach contract fileLink a contract file the person added under contract-files/ to its contract.
  • List contractsEvery contract and vendor with status, dates, yearly cost, contact and contract file.

Each action is a small script that changes the app’s files, checked by Gezel’s security settings before it runs.

Files it keeps

Plain files in the project folder you can open, back up, and read: contracts.json, vendors.json.
