Every escalation clause, executed on schedule.
Long-term supply agreements embed price adjustment mechanisms tied to commodity indices, labour costs, and foreign exchange — each running on a fixed calendar. Across a portfolio of contracts, managing review dates, applying formulas consistently, and maintaining an audit record is an operational burden that compounds with scale. CPAM automates the full cycle: live data from 14 index providers, formula execution on schedule, and complete documentation for every adjustment.

Managing contract price formulas in Excel is a liability in disguise.
Most commercial teams manage price adjustment mechanisms in spreadsheets with no version control, no data provenance, and no audit trail. That works for five contracts. It breaks long before fifty.
Excel breaks at portfolio scale.
You have 40+ contracts. Each one has 2–4 index components. Quarterly reviews. Manual data gathering from multiple sources. One wrong cell propagates silently across every adjustment downstream — and nothing flags it until a dispute lands on your desk.
Data collection kills days every cycle.
Gathering index values from BLS, EIA, World Bank, ECB, and the rest for every review cycle is a full day of copy-paste — at minimum. It's not the interesting part of the job. And one missed publication means the entire calculation is wrong.
Nothing to show in a dispute.
When a supplier challenges an adjustment — and they will — you need the exact index value, the formula version, and the calculation that produced the number. Spreadsheets keep none of that. Reconstructing it is the fastest way to lose a renegotiation.
From raw index data to verified adjustment — in one platform.
CPAM replaces the entire workflow that procurement and commercial teams currently do in Excel: data gathering, formula calculation, period tracking, and audit documentation.
Connect your data.
Pull live index data from 14 built-in providers — BLS, FRED, EIA, World Bank, ECB, and more — or enter your own series. Every data point is versioned, timestamped, and tracked through preliminary to final.
Build your formula.
Define any mechanism: weighted commodity baskets, CPI escalations, diesel + steel + labour blends, FX-adjusted pricing, or fully custom formulae. The wizard handles the structure — you define the logic.
Track everything automatically.
CPAM monitors every contract in your portfolio. When index data updates, calculations run automatically. Period changes, adjustment factors, and deviation alerts surface when they matter — not when you go looking.
Build PAM formulas step by step.
The PAM wizard walks you through selecting index components, configuring weights and averaging periods, and writing or editing the formula expression — with a live preview before you save.
- 4-step wizard: Select Indices → Configure → Formula → Review
- Per-component weights, averaging windows (latest, 3m, 6m, 12m), and lag
- Excel-style formula editor with inline validation
- Visual formula builder synced with the formula bar
- Normalised performance chart from any baseline date
Export to PDF or Excel in one click.
Generate a polished PDF report or a full Excel workbook for any PAM — formula metadata, index performance chart, component breakdown, and period metrics. Ready to attach to supplier negotiations or internal sign-off.
- PDF: one-page layout with header, chart, component table, and key metrics
- Excel: full workbook with raw values, formula metadata, and period history
- Includes baseline date, current index value, total and period change
- AUDIT-GRADE stamp with prepared date and formula lineage
- Exports directly from the PAM detail page — no extra steps
If it's on a long-term contract, it has a mechanism.
CPAM isn't built for one sector. Every large company that buys or sells on long-term contracts has mechanisms to manage — whether that's five categories or five hundred. Below is what those mechanisms actually look like across the spectrum.
AN price tracks ammonia, which tracks natural gas. A gas spike hits your formula before your supplier invoices.
Five inputs from five different markets. The basket moves daily even when your invoice is quarterly.
LME copper resets monthly. Most cable contracts carry a Cu adder per kg of conductor — pure LME pass-through.
Labour often tracks minimum wage orders, not CPI — a common source of contract disputes at review time.
The same primitives — index data, formula builder, period calculation, audit trail — work for every category in your portfolio.
Priced by PAM count, not seats.
