The AI procurement platform · by VendorBenchmark

One sourcing manager. The output of fifty. An expert on every vendor.

Vera AI multiplies the buyer you already have. The agents draft the emails, the strategy, and the CFO report, while 305 research documents and modelled deal cohorts put expert knowledge behind every negotiation, from day one.

AI will not replace you. A buyer who uses it will.

Your introduction to Vera AI.

What Vera AI is built from, and what you can do with it. Three analysts on the three parts, the benchmark data, two decades of negotiating craft across more than two hundred vendors, and the AI that puts both to work on your own paper. Then the ten things a buyer actually runs, from an instant benchmark to agents that negotiate the tail and Vera on the call beside you.

A true story, every month

Hire a sourcing manager with zero Microsoft knowledge. Watch them run the whole deal.

Give a new hire Vera on day one. Every step of the negotiation below, with the time it takes alone against the time it takes with her.

The drafting desk

Every word you send the vendor, drafted before you ask.

The agents write like your best negotiator on their best day: firm, precise, and grounded in what other buyers actually won.

  • The email to the vendor, ready to send
  • Talking points and call scripts for every meeting
  • The negotiation strategy behind them
  • The report your CFO and board actually read
See the playbooks and briefs →
DRAFT REVIEWED. APPROVED. SENT.
1,000 CONTRACTS. EVERY TERM READ.
The portfolio

Savings you did not know you had. Renewals that never sneak up.

Upload 100 or 1,000 contracts. Vera reads every one: which hold savings and how much, which expire when, what notice they need, and which auto-renew in the dark. Then she helps you act on it, deal by deal.

  • A savings report across the whole estate
  • Every expiry, notice window, and term extracted
  • Same-day alerts when a vendor changes prices or policy

The rooms

The tools stopped being tools. They are rooms that keep working.

A deal is not a document you open once. Every deal now has a room with the facts in it, a goal you set, the team you invited, and an agent working the parts you would rather not. Here is what that looks like on a Tuesday morning.

The Vera Deal-Room, showing the goal, the standing, and the six assembled documents
The Vera Deal-Room. One upload, six documents, one goal, and the team working from the same facts.
The Control Room, showing renewal pressure, the board of open threads, and the agent run feed
The Control Room. What moved overnight, what shuts next, what is waiting on you, and what the agents are allowed to do.
The agent roster, showing sixteen agents on duty across workflows, autopilots, watchdogs and analysts
The roster. Analysts write, watchdogs monitor, autopilots act under a mandate you signed.
The Benchmark Library window with a deal argued: the curve, the placement, and the verdict
The Benchmark Library. Type the five fields of your deal and the sheet answers in order: the discount you are offered, what comparable customers get, and where the deal ranks.
Compare contracts: two agreements picked side by side for the AI read
The comparison desk. A renewal against the paper it replaces: every repriced line and moved clause named, and the stronger side called.

Every action an agent takes is logged, checked against the authority you gave it, and stopped for you when it goes past that line. See how the agents work →

The honest version of the AI pitch
AI will not replace you.
A buyer who uses it will.

The procurement leaders winning right now are not working longer hours. They walk into every renewal with the market's numbers, a decoded contract, and a drafted counter, before the vendor finishes the small talk.
