Vendr vs. Productiv

Vendr is recognized in the industry for its large pricing database, distinguishing it from Productiv. Its data repository, supported by over $3.3 billion in transactions, provides customers with insights and tailored negotiation strategies. While Productiv offers solid spend management solutions, they differ from Vendr's focus on pricing intelligence, negotiation tactics, on-demand SaaS advisory, and intake-to-procure workflows. Vendr's experience and broad customer base, with over 500 clients, highlights its capability in delivering cost-effective outcomes that extend beyond basic spend management.

Vendr's team of negotiation specialists has considerable experience in the SaaS domain, differing from Productiv's general focus on spend management. Each Vendr advisor offers specialized insights and tailored strategies for negotiations. This expertise helps clients achieve good outcomes and gain strategic value in each transaction. Productiv, with its broad approach to spend management, does not have the same level of specific negotiation expertise as Vendr.

Vendr's dedication to personalized support differentiates it from Productiv. Each interaction with Vendr's support team is customized to address their clients' specific needs, aiming to ensure satisfaction and engagement. Productiv's support system is efficient but might not provide the same degree of personalized attention as Vendr's team.

Real-time support is crucial during negotiations. The immediacy and effectiveness of Vendr's real-time support are notable in the industry. Vendr's team provides quick and informed responses, making the procurement process smoother for clients. This real-time assistance and problem-solving is an area where Vendr differs from Productiv, whose support systems, although capable, may not offer the same immediacy and specialized assistance.

Vendr focuses on creating a collaborative procurement experience, acting as a partner to its clients. This partnership approach goes beyond the typical client-service provider relationship, creating synergy to improve procurement capabilities. In contrast, Productiv's method, while effective in managing spend, may not provide the same depth of collaboration and shared mission found in Vendr's service model.

Vendr's procurement solutions are customizable, designed to meet the varying needs of businesses. The platform includes intake-to-procure workflows and system integrations, providing clients with a smooth and efficient procurement process. This customization and integration are areas where Vendr differs from Productiv, whose capabilities in spend management might not include the same degree of tailored process orchestration.

Vendr's pricing is transparent, with the VIP starting at $15,000 and the VIP PRO at $20,000 per year (See pricing). This clarity in pricing sets Vendr apart from Productiv, which may surprise you with hidden fees and costs due to its lack of upfront pricing.

The Vendr+ rewards program provides access to top SaaS suppliers, offering you the best pricing and streamlined transactions to simplify and expedite the negotiation process. The program focuses on speed, fair dealing, and quality, aiming to optimize SaaS investments effectively.

Vendr provides personalized Application/Technical support, accessible via real-time chat, complementing your Onboarding Manager. This direct, in-app communication distinguishes us from Productiv's support approach.
