Executive Summary

Procurement, vendor management, finance and security teams currently lack scalable visibility into contract terms, SLAs and invoices, which leads to missed remediation windows, overcharges and regulatory exposure. These pain points are operational and recurring — teams need continuous oversight, not one-off audits. Build a cloud SaaS that ingests contracts, telemetry and billing APIs, uses modern NLP to extract SLA and penalty clauses, continuously scores vendors and reconciles invoices against contracted terms, then surfaces prioritized renegotiation opportunities with playbooks and estimated ROI. Include connectors to common vendor APIs, a portfolio dashboard with benchmarks, alerting for SLA breaches and one‑click evidence packages for audits and negotiations. The timing is favorable: an $18.0B addressable market (3M buying organizations × $6K ACV average) driven by regulator pressure for continuous third‑party oversight, proliferation of vendor APIs, and AI accuracy that makes automated extraction operational. Recurring demand and measurable cost-reduction make mid-market customers especially willing to pay $6K–$30K ACV depending on vendor footprint. Differentiation comes from combining high‑precision contract understanding, automated invoice‑to‑SLA reconciliation and prescriptive renegotiation workflows that convert detections into dollar‑backed actions; however, you must overcome integration complexity, enterprise trust/privacy concerns and medium competition from GRC/procurement incumbents. If you can prove reliable savings (even a few percent of vendor spend) and fast time‑to‑value, this is worth pursuing; without that proof, customer inertia and data access will be the main obstacles.

Market Opportunity

Score vendors, track SLAs, and surface renegotiation opportunities with AI targets a $18.0B = 3M buying organizations × $6K ACV average per organization for vendor management and continuous oversight total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 10% YoY — procurement and vendor management software growth driven by digital transformation and SaaS adoption (industry reports / Gartner estimates).

Key trends driving demand: AI-powered document understanding — improved NLP models make automatic extraction of contract terms and SLA clauses accurate enough for operational use, enabling automated portfolio analysis.; Shift to continuous vendor risk management — regulators and customers demand ongoing third-party risk visibility, creating recurring demand for monitoring tools rather than point-in-time audits.; Cloud and API proliferation — modern vendors expose telemetry and billing APIs, enabling automated SLA and invoice reconciliation across a portfolio.; Centralization of SaaS and third-party spend — finance and procurement functions are consolidating tracking and seeking tools that identify savings opportunities across dozens of contracts..

Key competitors include Coupa, SAP Ariba, Vendr, Fairmarkit.
