Vendor Shield is your always-on advisory team. We embed into your vendor relationships, benchmark every proposal, review every contract, and support every negotiation — so you never walk into a vendor conversation alone. One team. One fixed fee. Year-round.
Most enterprises negotiate their largest vendor contracts with less preparation than the vendor brings. The result: overspend, compliance risk, and commercial terms that favour the vendor for years.
Without benchmarking data, most enterprises pay 15–40% above market rates. Vendors know this. They count on it. Your “discount” is calculated against a list price designed to be discounted.
Auto-renewal traps, uncapped escalators, restrictive change-of-use terms, audit triggers. Standard vendor contracts contain clauses that cost millions over time — and most procurement teams don’t catch them.
Vendor renewals arrive with 30 days notice. Audits appear without warning. Cloud commitments are negotiated under pressure. By the time your team prepares, the vendor already has the upper hand.
Every vendor proposal benchmarked against our database of 500+ negotiated deals. Within 48 hours you know exactly where you stand versus market — and where to push back.
Before every significant vendor meeting, your team gets a 15–30 minute tactical briefing: what the vendor will push for, what concessions are available, and exactly how to respond.
Every agreement, amendment, order form, and SOW from a covered vendor is reviewed before you sign. We flag auto-renewal traps, escalators, audit triggers, and restrictive clauses.
Strategy, positioning, benchmarking, counter-proposals, and tactical guidance for every vendor interaction. We work behind the scenes or lead the negotiation directly — your choice.
Annual deep-dive review of your licence estate. We identify shelfware, over-provisioned tiers, unused modules, and duplicate capabilities across vendors. You stop paying for what you don’t use.
We track every renewal date 12–24 months ahead and start preparation when leverage is highest — not 30 days before expiry when the vendor has the advantage.
Tell us your vendor spend. We’ll tell you the savings. It takes 30 seconds with our calculator — or 30 minutes on a call where we go deeper into your specific contracts and renewals.
Pricing is based on the value of the software spend you’re protecting — not hours. Every tier delivers 3–10x ROI. We’ll recommend the right tier after a scoping call.
No pitch. No pressure. We start by understanding your world — then we show you exactly what we can do about it.
We ask simple questions: which vendors do you work with, what do you spend per vendor, and which renewals are coming up in the next 24 months. That’s it. 30 minutes. No contracts. No commitment.
Based on our benchmarking data from 500+ enterprise deals, we calculate your potential savings per vendor, your overall ROI, and where the biggest opportunities sit. You see exactly what’s possible before you decide anything.
A tailored Vendor Shield proposal with your recommended tier, projected savings, and a fixed annual fee. Delivered within 5 business days. If the ROI doesn’t make sense, we’ll tell you — we only take clients where we can deliver real results.
Once you’re onboard, we’re embedded in your vendor relationships. Every proposal benchmarked. Every contract reviewed. Every negotiation supported. We’re not a vendor you call once a year — we’re the expert team behind every decision you make.
Tell us your vendor spend and your upcoming renewals. We’ll show you the savings, the ROI, and exactly how we work together as one team. No obligation. No vendor affiliations. Just an honest conversation.
