We work with enterprises with annual software spend of $2M or more. Our model works best when there's meaningful negotiation leverage — typically $500K+ with a single vendor at renewal.
For smaller engagements, we offer a fixed-fee diagnostic assessment. Contact us to discuss.
They always do. Our benchmark data shows the gap between "the deal your team negotiated" and "the deal you could have achieved" is typically 15–25%. We close that gap. We've found incremental savings on deals vendors claimed were already optimised.
Yes. Signed contracts contain amendment mechanisms, True-Up clauses, and renewal rights. We've renegotiated mid-term contracts many times. If you're locked in at unfavourable terms, there are often levers you haven't pulled yet.
We use independent third-party verification where possible, or a mutually agreed methodology defined in the engagement letter. Both parties sign off before any fee is calculated. Transparency protects everyone.
Our fee is zero. The engagement letter is clear: no savings, no payment. We absorb the cost of the engagement entirely. This alignment is why we move fast and focus on high-confidence opportunities.
None. We accept zero referral fees, reseller commissions, or vendor payments. We are 100% buyer-side, 100% independent. Our sole incentive is to save you as much money as possible.
Contact us and we'll share our standard engagement letter template before you commit to anything. Transparency builds trust. We're not hiding anything.
