Tropic’s supplier intelligence is the only dataset free of bias

You can’t trust data when your source is playing both sides. From major advisory firms to review websites to other procurement startups, nearly every data source is paid for by the suppliers. That’s where Tropic is different. We’re exclusively on your side.

Supplier Code of Ethics

We pledge to never take a dollar in supplier referral commissions – so there’s no incentive for us to push you to buy from our “partners.”

Built by experts

Our dataset is built by experts. We’ve led thousands of SaaS negotiations and we’re giving you our negotiation intelligence so you can target the actual best price.

AI-enabled tech

Speed matters when it comes to negotiations. We’re using AI to continually analyze and refresh the data so you’re always on a level playing field with your suppliers.

Identify which contracts to focus on to maximize your savings & time

Tropic’s data makes it easy to determine which SaaS contracts are worth negotiating.

Price benchmarks on thousands of SaaS suppliers ensure you know the right price to target for each SKU in your contract size.

Not all negotiation tactics work with all suppliers. Tropic speeds up SaaS negotiations by handing you tactics proven to work.

“With Tropic, we’re seeing there's a lot more opportunity than we realized. There's no way we would have that data, the leverage, to know exactly what everybody else is paying.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your data unique?

For starters, Tropic has data on all types of tools in your tech stack to help you better control and reduce your tail spend, including, but not limited to, enterprise applications.

And importantly, our data is unbiased. We don’t have deals with software suppliers, so we’re not incentivized to push you to buy more from certain companies. With Tropic’s supplier intelligence, you’re accessing price benchmarks and supplier insights on contracts we’ve helped to negotiate, so we know the outcomes are possible - and we’re committed to helping you achieve them.
‍

How often is your data refreshed?

Price benchmarks and negotiation playbooks are updated daily as information is added to the Tropic platform; supplier insights are updated weekly.
‍

How old is your data?

With ever-changing market conditions, recent data is more reliable than old data. That’s why we only surface data from the past 18 months to determine price benchmarks, quarterly for negotiation playbooks, and ‘active’ contracts to derive supplier insights.
‍

How many suppliers are included in your pricing benchmarks?

Tropic currently offers price benchmarks on 500+ popular SaaS suppliers and we are continually adding new suppliers to the database.
‍

How quickly is your dataset growing?

Our dataset is growing every day with daily additions of new price benchmarks and insights into negotiation playbooks. We’re adding thousands of new data points each month.
‍

What if my team doesn't have bandwidth to run negotiations?

We understand how challenging it can be to negotiate every software contract and we have solutions to help you optimize your bandwidth:

Eliminate the back and forth on low opportunity contracts: Leverage our Supplier Intelligence solution to identify which contracts have room to reduce cost and prioritize those. Speed through the ones that aren’t worth your valuable and limited time.
Outsource your negotiations to Tropic experts: Tropic’s team of SaaS specialists have negotiated tens of thousands of contracts across every category. Our services let you reap the benefits of their work, whether you’re looking for guidance and coaching or you want to outsource your SaaS contract negotiations to Tropic.

I like that it easily helped us consolidate and manage our tech stack and spending. Previously the ownership and renewal management of our tech stack was complicated, and there were certain products we weren't even sure we were using. Tropic has helped us gain control of that process.

Tropic’s Code of Ethics makes Tropic feel like a true extension of our finance and procurement team. We’re able to delegate to Tropic as if they’re an internal subject matter expert, ultimately leading to a more effective and efficient procurement process.

I love hopping into the dashboard and seeing the dollar value of savings that we’ve achieved with Tropic. Tropic really is a no-brainer, it pays for itself multiple times over.

I really liked that once I submitted my Tropic ticket, I was able to get back to doing my job and didn't spend hours with legal and sales folks and bringing in additional managers... Tropic just handled everything for me while ensuring we got competitive and fair pricing.

User in Computer & Network Security

Tropic is helping us negotiate new contracts and understand if we are getting a good deal or not. This helps us save time and money.

User in Hospital & Health Care

SaaS procurement and renewals can take up a ton of time for "owner" of each software tool. Tropic frees up time to work on more pressing needs. And they help reduce overall spend.

User in Computer Software

It's allowing us to see all of our SaaS spend management in one place for easier management. We can see the renewal dates and opt-out dates that allow us to keep better track of what needs to be done and when. Tropic is great for keeping everything streamlined and getting us deals.

User in Information Technology and Services

They can provide proactive insight into a market most internal employees don't have the time to understand. They act as partners, not as vendors.

User in Think Tanks

We were unable to get a good summary of all our contracts, their renewal dates, costs, and comparisons to market rates. It's been a life saver as a growing company that is trying to accommodate expanded software tool usage, but don't have the resources to coordinate and control them all.

User in Computer Software

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.

Chris Mullins

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.
