Vendr Partners With Zip to Bring Pricing Intelligence Into Procurement Agents
Vendr is partnering with Zip to embed industry-leading software pricing benchmarks directly into Zip’s procurement agents—giving buyers real market context, earlier leverage, and faster savings.
Suppliers know what everyone pays. Buyers don't. That information gap costs companies hundreds of thousands of dollars per deal—sometimes without anyone noticing.
We're fixing that.
Vendr is partnering with Zip to embed our pricing benchmarks and negotiation intelligence directly into Zip's procurement agents. No new tools. No extra workflow. Just real market data exactly where procurement teams need it.
The problem: buyers negotiate blind
In enterprise software, the supplier always has the advantage. They see every deal. They know what worked, what didn't, and exactly how much leverage you don't have.
Most procurement teams are guessing. And guessing is expensive.
Vendr has built the most comprehensive dataset on software pricing in the market—over $15 billion in verified spend. Through this partnership, that intelligence becomes available natively inside Zip, so procurement teams can stop guessing and start negotiating with confidence.
As Ryan Neu, Founder and CEO at Vendr, puts it:
"Embedding Vendr's intelligence into Zip means procurement teams make better decisions earlier—as spend is being orchestrated, not after contracts are already in motion. That's when you actually have leverage."
How it works: Vendr powers Zip's Price Negotiation Agent
Zip's Price Negotiation Agent uses Vendr's market intelligence to analyze internal purchase history and external benchmarks, then delivers data-backed negotiation guidance.
Renewing software? The agent shows you what you paid last time, what the market's paying now, and exactly how to negotiate down.
Lu Cheng, Co-founder at Zip, adds:
"Zip sits at the center of how companies manage spend. By embedding Vendr's pricing intelligence directly into our platform, we're giving procurement teams credible market context exactly where decisions are being made—without adding complexity."
Real savings: Gametime achieves measurable results with Vendr
Companies leveraging Vendr's pricing intelligence are already seeing significant impact. Gametime, a leading secondary ticket marketplace, uses Vendr's real-time pricing benchmarks to negotiate with confidence and ensure they're never overpaying for software.
"Vendr pays for itself through the savings it delivers. They give us instant confidence that we’re paying competitive rates across our software stack" said Dave Zaragoza, CFO at Gametime.
