INTAKE × DILIGENCE × CONTRACT × RENEW

Procurement and vendor manager

Join every purchase to diligence, authority, contract, and renewal evidence.

Recommended setup$15/month · 1 person
Lean option$11/month · 1 person
Known fixed subscription difference$48/year

Why we recommend this setup

The recommendation is based on the role’s working conditions, non-negotiable requirements, and day-to-day experience needs.
01

Business characteristics

  1. Distributed teams buy software and services, while budget, security, legal, finance, and operational owners share the consequences.
  2. The organization needs faster purchase decisions without bypassing authority, competition, diligence, or contract evidence.
  3. Vendor value and risk change after signature, so renewal cannot be a calendar reminder alone.
02

Hard requirements

  1. One intake record for business need, alternatives, owner, budget, data access, integration, implementation, timing, and exit impact.
  2. Risk-tiered diligence covering supplier identity, security, privacy, resilience, financial, legal, accessibility, and operational evidence.
  3. Traceable approval authority, negotiated terms, purchase order, invoice match, obligations, renewal notice, performance, and offboarding proof.
03

Convenience & experience

  1. Requesters need a short guided intake and visible status instead of an email maze.
  2. Reviewers need the evidence relevant to their decision, with parallel work and explicit unresolved exceptions.
  3. Vendor owners need obligations, usage, performance, spend, and renewal choices in one scheduled review.

TEAM SIZE

1 person

Per-member plans use the team size. Account, site, usage, and one-time plans stay fixed until checkout.

PLAN LIMITS / UPGRADE

Plan limits, pricing, and upgrade triggers

We label capacity only when the billing note supports it. If the vendor does not publish a limit, we leave it unquantified. Upgrade after actual usage reaches the threshold.

WORKFLOW / HUMAN REVIEW

Workflow and review steps.

4 reviewed stages
01 / INTAKE

Define the need and decision route before engaging a vendor.

Business need, owner, users, alternatives, budget, timing, data and integration scope, risk tier, reviewers, and exit impact.

Human review

The budget owner and procurement lead confirm necessity, authority, competitive route, risk tier, and review obligations.

02 / DILIGENCE

Collect decision-grade evidence in proportion to vendor risk.

Supplier identity, security and privacy evidence, resilience, financial and legal checks, references, exceptions, owners, and expiry dates.

Human review

Security, privacy, legal, finance, and service owners approve their findings and explicitly accept or reject unresolved exceptions.

03 / CONTRACT

Bind approval authority, negotiated terms, and spend controls.

Approved supplier and amount, commercial comparison, negotiated contract, obligations, purchase order, payment control, implementation owner, and signed record.

Human review

Authorized budget, procurement, legal, security, and signatory owners approve exceptions and the final commitment before purchase.

04 / RENEW

Choose renewal, renegotiation, or exit from current evidence.

Notice date, usage and adoption, spend, service performance, incidents, obligation status, alternatives, negotiation position, and offboarding plan.

Human review

The vendor owner and approval group authorize renewal terms, risk acceptance, replacement, or termination with enough time to act.
