How it works

Benchmark first. Then decide.

Every quote gets benchmarked before anyone negotiates. If it is already market best, you sign it and pay us nothing. If it is not, you see the gap in dollars and choose how to close it.

You

The quote arrives

A proposal, a renewal, a true up or a new purchase. Any vendor, any size. Or your whole contract estate.

The verdict

Is it market best?

Where the price and every term sit against executed agreements of your size, and the money on the table in dollars. Then one of two things happens.

Yes, it is market best

Sign it. You pay us nothing.

We tell you in writing that the offer is market best, and you sign with confidence. No fee, no engagement, no follow up sales call. Most buyers never get this answer from anyone, which is why the benchmark comes first.

No, there is a gap

Here is the money on the table. Choose how to close it.

The lines that are below market, the terms the comparable holds that your paper does not, the floor, the stretch, and the order to play them against the vendor's quarter end. Then you pick one of three ways to close the gap.

Three ways to close the gap
You, with Vera AI

Negotiate yourself

IncludedNo fee beyond the subscription

You run the negotiation with the benchmark, the playbook, the talking points and the drafted emails. Raise a human benchmark ticket whenever you want an analyst's view.

No risk Redress service · Contingency

Bring us the vendor's best offer

25 percentof what we save you. No saving, no fee.

Negotiate first. Then hand us the best offer you have, two to four weeks before the deadline. We confirm it is market best, at no fee, or we negotiate further and take 25 percent of the savings.

Redress service · Fixed fee

Let Redress run it

Fixed feeScoped and agreed up front. Never hourly.

Our negotiators run the agreement from baseline to written deal sign off. You keep every dollar saved. Behind the scenes by default, fronting the calls on request.

Either way Market best pricing and terms, on every path, with a written deal sign off before you sign. Early or late, the price is the same.
Who does what

Three parts. One team on your side.

The program joins the platform, the analysts and the negotiators, so nothing renews without a benchmark and nothing material is negotiated alone.

The year as one campaign

Renewals decide most of what you pay.

Most renewals are negotiated one at a time, under deadline pressure, by whoever owns the contract that quarter. The program runs the whole calendar as one campaign, two quarters ahead of each event, sequenced against each vendor's quarter end.

Questions buyers ask

About the Renewal Program.

What is the Renewal Program?

A twelve month partnership that runs your renewal calendar as one campaign: Vera AI benchmarks every quote, our analysts benchmark each material renewal with a strategy, and Redress negotiators run the renewals that move real money.

How do Vera AI, benchmarking and negotiation fit together?

Vera AI finds the gap in seconds, an analyst confirms it and writes the strategy within 24 business hours, and our negotiators close it. If a quote is already market best, you sign it and pay nothing for the negotiation.

How far ahead does the program start each renewal?

Two quarters. That is enough time to build the baseline, benchmark the quote and cost an alternative before the vendor's quarter end.

How is it priced?

A program fee quoted on your renewal calendar, with each negotiation at a fixed fee or 25 percent of what we save you. No saving, no fee.

How is it different from Vendor Shield?

The Renewal Program is built around the renewal calendar for the year. Vendor Shield is the always on subscription across your vendors. Both combine Vera AI, benchmarking and negotiators.

Are you independent of the vendors?

Yes. 100 percent buyer side: zero vendor affiliations, no reseller agreements and no referral fees.
