Tropic vs. Vertice

While Vertice focuses primarily on managing SaaS and cloud-based vendor contracts, Tropic provides comprehensive vendor management capabilities across all contract types and categories. Through Tropic's unified platform, organizations can centrally manage everything from traditional software licenses to professional services agreements, hardware contracts, and non-tech vendors, and more–allowing procurement teams to simplify their processes by standardizing vendor management, tracking renewal dates, monitoring compliance, and maintaining documentation in one convenient place.

Unlike Vertice which requires working with negotiation consultants, Tropic gives users direct access to AI-powered pricing benchmarks and supplier intelligence. Users can independently view pricing data, peer benchmarks, and performance metrics, enabling finance and procurement teams to conduct market research and make data-driven decisions themselves.

Only Tropic offers unbiased, self-serve price benchmarks that give you a true comparison of your price compared to your peer set. We don’t have deals with software suppliers, so we’re not incentivized to push you to buy from certain companies, and our negotiation playbooks are written by Tropic experts (not the supplier).

In just 4 weeks, Tropic’s team can transform your procurement process with reliable software, data, and services before your next negotiation. We take a consultative, hands-on approach, sharing best practices and insights to help you design the procurement process that is best suited for your organization.

Should you need a leg up in negotiations, Tropic can supercharge your teams’ effectiveness with custom pricing benchmarks, negotiation plans, and 1:1 coaching from our expert negotiators. We’re your partner when it comes to getting better outcomes, not just price. We’ll take care of all the back-and-forth communications, document collection, and negotiating, while you get time back to focus on your next big project.
