WHO IT'S FOR

Built for enterprise buyers, not vendors

IT Sourcing & Procurement

For sourcing managers and procurement directors managing a portfolio of enterprise software renewals and new purchases. Use VendorBenchmark to challenge every proposal with real market data — not vendor-provided "competitive analysis" or years-old Gartner survey pricing. Our clients typically run 10–30 benchmark reports per year across their vendor portfolio.

CIOs & CFOs Controlling Software Spend

For technology and finance executives responsible for enterprise software budgets. VendorBenchmark makes software spend visible at the market-rate level — identifying which contracts are above market, which renewals are approaching with leverage risk, and where the highest-ROI benchmarking opportunities exist across the portfolio.

PE Operating Partners & Portfolio CFOs

For private equity operating teams conducting IT cost reduction post-acquisition. VendorBenchmark provides rapid portfolio-wide software spend benchmarking — identifying above-market contracts across all portfolio companies within days, not months. Used by operating partners at leading PE firms to find 15–30% EBITDA-accretive software savings in the first 100 days.

In-House Legal & Finance Teams

For legal, FP&A, and finance teams needing third-party validation of vendor pricing claims. Our benchmark reports provide independent, data-backed pricing analysis that can be used in vendor dispute resolution, contract audits, and internal budget justification. SOC 2 Type II certified, confidential by default.

ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Three ways to put the platform to work

Our sweet spot is your Tier 2 and Tier 3 vendors — the 80% of your stack where the overspend quietly accumulates. Pick the engagement model that matches your team's rhythm.

01 / On-Demand

What enterprise buyers achieve

Mark Holloway Director of IT Sourcing, Global Retail Enterprise

"We ran 14 benchmark reports in our first quarter. Total contract savings documented: $8.7M. The platform paid for itself in the first two weeks."

Diana Marsh CFO, Mid-Market Technology Company

"I brought in VendorBenchmark before our Microsoft EA renewal. The benchmark showed us at the 78th pricing percentile. We negotiated down to the 40th. $1.8M in annual savings."

Alex Brennan Operating Partner, Private Equity Fund

"Post-acquisition, we used VendorBenchmark to audit the entire software stack. Identified $4.2M in above-market contracts within 10 days. That's the kind of EBITDA improvement that matters."
