Our take
For enterprises, purchasing software is often a drawn-out and expensive process involving multiple stakeholders and salespeople. Vendr has built a platform that allows businesses to purchase software using software. The aim is to make enterprise software purchases as easy as consumer product purchases.
It's a lucrative business, not just because of the proliferation of B2B SaaS tools, but also because of the revenue potential: Vendr charges its customers between 1% and 5% of its software spend that it manages. This model works for Vendr and its customers, as the latter will typically save significantly more than this by using Vendr.
Vendr has already supported an impressive set of customers, including Canva, Grammarly, GitLab, Brex, HubSpot and InVision. An example of its commitment to improvement is in the launch of Vendr 2.0, that combines its SaaS purchasing and management products to give enterprise customers enhanced visibility into software purchase and use, allowing them to reduce overspend and purchase better software faster and cheaper.
