Stek is an independent Dutch business law firm based in Amsterdam. With 70 lawyers, the firm is recognized as a leading specialist in corporate law, dispute resolution, finance, regulatory matters, and restructuring – with a strong focus on the energy, technology, and aviation sectors. Alongside its client-facing legal work, Stek manages a broad range of internal supplier and service contracts.

As the firm continued to grow, the existing approach to managing these contracts no longer fully matched the level of structure and oversight Stek aims to maintain across its operations.

From multiple tools to a central overview

Contract management at Stek was handled through a combination of folders, Outlook, and Excel. While this approach had served well over time, it lacked a central overview and required manual tracking of key dates such as renewals and termination deadlines.

“This worked to a certain extent, but it was time-consuming and relied heavily on manual tracking,” says Mirjam de Jong, Operations & ICT Manager at Stek.

As the volume and importance of contracts increased, Stek saw an opportunity to further professionalize this process and bring greater consistency and efficiency to its internal operations.

Finding the right fit

When evaluating contract management solutions, Stek’s priority was clear: a system that would provide structure and clarity, without unnecessary complexity.

“The main reason for choosing Trackado was its simplicity and clear structure. It offered exactly what we needed: a central overview of contracts, key dates, and responsibilities – without being overly complex.”

Implementation was straightforward. The intuitive interface made it easy to start uploading and organizing contracts, while key features such as central storage, automated reminders, and clear dashboards were immediately available.

Greater clarity and control

With Trackado in place, Stek now has a clear and reliable overview of all active contracts and their associated deadlines. Automated reminders for renewal and termination dates reduce reliance on manual processes and help ensure that obligations are managed proactively.

The central dashboard and categorization features allow for quick access and improved transparency across the organization.

“The clarity of the interface is definitely one of its strengths.”

A practical step in professionalizing processes

For Mirjam, the value goes beyond efficiency alone.

“Contract management is often underestimated, but having a clear overview of your obligations and deadlines is essential. A tool like Trackado helps professionalize this process in a straightforward way.”

She would recommend Trackado to organizations looking for a practical and accessible way to improve contract oversight — particularly small to mid-sized businesses seeking greater control without implementing complex systems.
