Join the hundreds of companies who control and reduce their spend with Tropic’s AI Spend Management platform.

As an IT Manager, I have a small team and do not have the resources to dedicate time to negotiations for SaaS spend for each vendor. Tropic helps take that off my plate and prevents the need to onboard a procurment role specifically to reduce our annual spend.

We manage 100% of our spend with Tropic and consistently been impressed by their ability to step in and be an extension of the Rightway team.

Xavier Del Rosario

VP of Finance & BizOps

Without Tropic, procurement would’ve come to a screeching halt at RainFocus because of limited internal personnel. The platform is good, but the people are great. Tropic offers well-managed service, and I get responses in a timely manner.

Brandon Bailey

Supplier Intelligence has been invaluable in helping us make informed and timely decisions on our software purchases. I regularly reference Tropic’s price benchmarks and negotiation playbooks to get an understanding of the competitive landscape and where our terms stack up.
