ABOUT VERA AI

The AI procurement platform, built on your side of the table.

Vera AI is the procurement platform for enterprise software buyers. It benchmarks every deal against modelled deal cohorts, writes the negotiation playbook, keeps the research at hand, puts AI agents on your portfolio, manages the contracts underneath it all, and runs the busywork autonomously. One workspace, from "is this a fair price?" to the signed renewal.

01
Benchmarking

Your net price against modelled deal cohorts across 1,140 vendors, adjusted for deal size, region, industry, and signing period. Instant self-serve benchmarks, plus analyst-built reports on your own contracts.

How benchmarking works →
02
Negotiation playbooks

For every deal: where the leverage is, the target number, the asks to put on the table, the pushback to expect, and how to close. Briefs, talking points, and decks generated from your own data, plus per-deal war rooms that track every concession.

03
Research

A living library of vendor white papers and market notes, including the 2026 negotiation toolkit series for the top vendors: current pricing moves, licensing changes, and the plays that work against each one.

04
AI agents

Vera, the portfolio analyst, answers any question grounded in your contracts and our market data. Six specialist agents turn a contract into a deliverable, a ghost writer drafts vendor replies in your voice, and your org can define its own agents.

05
Contract management

Every agreement in one repository: AI-extracted fields with human confirmation, semantic search with cited clauses, review tables across the whole portfolio, redlines, comparisons, coverage grids, and secure vault rooms.

06
Autonomous workflows

No-code workflow agents chain AI analysis into emails, Slack, and tasks on five triggers, and thirty background jobs watch renewals, anomalies, invoices, and market drift around the clock. The platform does the rounds; you get the memo.

WHO IS BEHIND IT

Built by VendorBenchmark.

Vera AI is a VendorBenchmark product, built by VendorBenchmark. The platform was formerly named VendorBenchmark and is now named after Vera, the analyst at its center. Same buyer-side numbers, same team. The founders spent 20 years on the buyer side of software licensing and negotiation: the people enterprises bring in when the Oracle audit letter lands or the Microsoft renewal doubles. The platform is that experience turned into software, and the analysts are still in the loop: every delivered benchmark is analyst-built, and advisory sessions are one booking away inside the app.

We take no vendor money and sell nothing to the sell side. The product has one customer: the buyer.

CALIBRATED MARKET EVIDENCE
Benchmarks come from modelled deal cohorts across the vendor reference cohorts, curated and graded by analysts before they influence a benchmark.
ANALYSTS SIGN THE NUMBER
AI does the volume; humans sign the verdicts. Every AI figure is grounded in stored data and citation tagged, reports pass a QA gate, and delivered benchmarks get analyst review on top.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Tenant isolation at the database, private file storage, SSO and SCIM, a full audit trail, hard delete that removes files too, and no training AI models on your data.
THE FOUNDERS

Two decades on the buyer side.

VendorBenchmark was founded by Fredrik Filipsson and Morten Andersen. Both bring 20 years of experience in the software procurement industry, and together they founded Redress Compliance, the buyer-side licensing and negotiation advisory. VendorBenchmark is a completely independent company: it shares the founders' experience, not ownership, data, or vendor relationships.
