Vendor management services.
Clear ownership of your agencies, freelancers and software vendors, from sourcing and contracts to renewals and day-to-day follow-up.
Nobody owns the vendors.
Vendors get added one at a time by whoever needed them. A few years in, nobody has the full list.
- Contracts renew on autopilot and you find out from the credit card statement.
- You're paying for software seats that nobody uses.
- There is no single list of vendors, owners, costs and renewal dates.
- Agencies and freelancers wait days for answers because nobody is their point of contact.
- A customer or auditor asks how you review your vendors and there is no answer.
One owner for every vendor.

What is vendor management?
Vendor management is keeping track of the outside companies and contractors you rely on: what each one does, what it costs, when it renews, who owns the relationship, and whether it is still worth paying for.
Do you negotiate with vendors?
We prepare the renewal review and handle the conversation with the vendor. You make the final decision on any contract.
Does this help with SOC 2?
Yes. SOC 2 expects you to keep a vendor list and review your important vendors. We maintain both.
