    New Supplier Contracts Reference Guides 

    Did you know that your agency can use the Supplier Contracts module to electronically create and manage official contract documents in SWIFT?

    • This feature allows agencies to reduce or eliminate the need for manual routing and storing of paper contract documents.
    • SWIFT serves as a repository of the contract documents.
    • It also allows agencies to electronically collaborate, approve and get signatures.
