# [PU-018] Contracts
What is it?
Service contracts managed in spreadsheets lead to missed renewals and forgotten maintenance visits. The Contracts Power-Up lets you manage all your service contracts in one place — track terms, schedule recurring maintenance automatically, and never miss a renewal date. Your contracts work for you, not the other way around.
How it Helps Your Business
- Field Techs: Automatically receive scheduled maintenance jobs from active contracts — no waiting for someone to remember to create the work order.
- Office Staff: Contracts generate work orders on schedule, so there's no need to manually track renewal dates or create recurring jobs.
- Managers: Get a clear overview of all active contracts, upcoming renewals, and revenue from service agreements.
- Customers: Enjoy reliable, on-schedule maintenance because the system automatically ensures every contracted visit happens.
