One question, days of waiting 0:00

How long does it take your organization to answer one software licensing question? For most enterprises the honest answer is days. A ticket, a consultant, a call that has to be scheduled. Vera AI is our answer to that, and you can try it for free.

What Vera is built from 0:15

Vera is the analyst inside the Redress platform, and it is built from three things. First, benchmarking data: what buyers actually paid, deal by deal, across Salesforce, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, ServiceNow, and the rest of the major vendors. Second, consulting know how: the negotiation playbooks, audit defenses, and contract traps from more than five hundred buyer side engagements. Third, AI that has read your portfolio: your contracts, your renewal dates, your proposals, so answers come back grounded in your numbers rather than generic advice.

What it does with your portfolio 0:52

Ask it what a strong Salesforce discount looks like at your volume, and it answers from market data. Upload a renewal proposal and it reads the line items, flags the traps, and tells you where the leverage sits. Ask what to do next and it gives you the sequence, not a lecture. And it is honest about sources: it tells you what came from your contracts and what came from market experience, so you always know which is which.

Time, independence, outcomes 1:16

What does that change for you? Three things. Time: questions that used to wait days for a consultant come back in seconds, at any hour. Independence: your team runs more of the work in house, the benchmarking, the preparation, the first draft of a negotiation position, and brings advisors in only where they add real value.

And outcomes: a buyer who walks in knowing the market range negotiates a different deal than a buyer who is guessing.

Voice, Slack, and Teams 1:43

Vera is not a chatbot bolted onto a website. It works inside the platform, it speaks when you would rather talk than type, and it meets your team where they work, in Slack or in Microsoft Teams.
