Tour with Vera

New here? Press Tour, on Home or in the top bar, and I will show you around myself, at your pace.

Hi Alex, I'm Vera. I'll be the one showing you around today, and there's no rush at all, we can take this as slowly as you like. Before we get into anything, how are you doing?

Good, glad to hear it. So where would you like to start? Benchmarking tells you whether your price is fair, contracts puts every agreement and its renewal clock in one place, document search answers a question across all your papers, research covers how vendors sell, and contract management runs the whole estate as one office. Or I can just show you everything.

That's the right question to start with. Benchmarking takes five things about your deal, the vendor, products, size, term and price, and shows what peers are being offered for a deal like it, the peer range, and where you sit. So you walk into a renewal knowing the gap in dollars, not guessing. Would you like to see it?

Opening the Benchmark Library now. It lands on How it works the first time, which walks through what those five fields buy you. Once it's up, I'll take you through it one part at a time. Ready when you are.

Start with the find field at the top. You can type a vendor, or a whole deal in one line, like salesforce 3y 4.5m at 24, and it previews the peer range and midpoint at that size before you press Enter. So the gap to the midpoint shows up in dollars straight away. Want to try it with one of your own vendors?

Right up top, in the find field. Type your vendor, the term, the annual value and the discount, the way the example reads, and the preview shows the peer range and midpoint before you press Enter. Which vendor would you want to check first?

Contracts is where every agreement you hold lives, with its value, its term and its renewal clock. You set the expiry and notice period once, and it watches the deadlines for you, so a notice window never closes on you unnoticed. That's usually where the money leaks, an auto renewal nobody caught in time. Would you like to see it?

Good place to stop, Alex. The one thing worth remembering: type your deal into the find field before any renewal call, so you walk in knowing the gap to the midpoint in dollars. The Tour button in the top bar picks this up again whenever you want to see contracts.
