Invest wisely in the right tools
When your finance manager leaves, their vendor knowledge leaves too. VendorLog captures your organization's institutional memory—the context, history, and insights that survive employee turnover.

Employee turnover destroys vendor knowledge
When your finance manager leaves, critical questions go unanswered. Why was this vendor chosen? Who owns the relationship now? What discounts were negotiated?
Duplicate Subscriptions
New hires purchase tools that already exist because nobody knows what's already in the stack. The average company has 536 SaaS apps—can you name them all?
Missed Renewals & Lost Leverage
Auto-renewals happen without evaluation. Previous discounts and negotiation history vanish when the person who secured them leaves.
Training Waste
Low satisfaction gets blamed on "bad tools" when it's actually lack of training. Companies replace expensive software when a training investment would fix the problem.
Scattered Information
Critical vendor details live in email threads, Slack messages, someone's head, or sticky notes—impossible to find when you need them most.
Broken Relationships
No continuity in vendor partnerships. New employees start from scratch with contacts and relationships that took years to build.
Budget Waste
Mid-market companies lose 20-30% of SaaS spend to these inefficiencies. That's real money walking out the door with every departing employee.
Vendor relationship intelligence, systematized
VendorLog transforms vendor management from reactive cost-cutting into proactive relationship intelligence. Five core capabilities that no competitor offers.
Vendor Memory System
The institutional memory that survives employee turnover. Document why vendors were chosen, who owns relationships, and preserve negotiation history that would otherwise walk out the door.
- Selection rationale documentation
- Relationship ownership tracking
- Negotiation history & discount details
- Complete audit trail & change log
Vendor Satisfaction Intelligence
Stop blaming tools for training problems. Combine usage data with satisfaction scores to create vendor health metrics that reveal the real story—and identify when to invest in training vs. replace tools.
- Employee satisfaction scores per vendor
- Usage + satisfaction = health score
- Training gap analysis
- ROI: Training investment vs. replacement cost

Sound familiar?
Your finance manager just left. The new hire asks: "Why do we pay $50K/year to Vendor X?"
Nobody knows. The rationale, negotiation history, and satisfaction context—all gone.
VendorLog remembers, so your company doesn't have to start from scratch.
What competitors are missing
Spreadsheets become outdated immediately, have no automation, and get lost when employees leave. VendorLog is a living system that persists.
Zylo and Productiv cost $35K-$45K+, are too complex, and built for enterprise. VendorLog brings enterprise-grade intelligence at mid-market prices.
Torii tracks spend and automates renewals—but doesn't capture relationships or institutional memory. VendorLog manages vendor relationships, not just renewals.
QuickBooks pays the bills. VendorLog optimizes the relationships. We partner with your accounting system, not compete with it.
