Your long tail of vendors, priced against real deals.
Continuous benchmarks across the tier 2 and tier 3 vendors nobody has time to negotiate, run on Vera AI, with renewal alerts where you overpay most and Redress negotiators where the gap justifies it.
Small renewals, big leak.
Dozens of renewals too small to negotiate one by one, drifting above market every year. Auto renewals turning inattention into another term at a higher price. Overlapping tools nobody sees as one portfolio. Line by line it is invisible; added up it rivals an anchor renewal.

About the Benchmark Program.
What is the Vendor Benchmark Program?
A subscription that benchmarks your tier 2 and tier 3 vendors continuously on Vera AI, alerts you ahead of each renewal with a verdict, and negotiates where the gap justifies it.
Which vendors does it cover?
The long tail: collaboration, observability, security, design, data and SaaS tools behind your anchor vendors. 1,500 plus vendors are in the Vera AI library, and any vendor not listed is covered at the same prices.
How big are the gaps?
Gaps of 10 to 40 percent against the market are routine in the long tail, because these renewals are rarely benchmarked or negotiated.
How is it priced?
A program fee quoted on the size of your long tail. Negotiations inside the program run at a fixed fee or at 25 percent of what we save you. No saving, no fee.
How does it relate to Vendor Shield?
The Benchmark Program covers the long tail. Vendor Shield puts negotiators on call for your major vendors. Many clients run both.
Are you independent of the vendors?
Yes. 100 percent buyer side: zero vendor affiliations, no reseller agreements and no referral fees.
