VendorIntel — Vendor Intelligence & Negotiation Optimisation
Conversational vendor intelligence that turns scattered data into negotiation-ready insights in seconds.
What was breaking
Years of vendor data — tenders, bids, pricing histories, SLAs, feedback — sat siloed across systems. Negotiators entered meetings without context, regions worked from inconsistent assessments, and even a 2–3% lift in outcomes was worth $10–15M+ annually.
