Spendflo: Vendor Analysis — SaaS buying and management solution overview, roadmap, competitors, tech selection tips, analyst summary

This Spend Matters PRO Vendor Analysis provides an overview of Spendflo and its solution for SaaS procurement and management.

The influx of business reliance on SaaS applications has caused these systems to be a headache for many companies, and, according to McKinsey, the demand for these applications has created a global market of $3 trillion that has attracted numerous solutions. Having so many options is not always a good thing, though. Software procurement is complex, and buyers are often ill informed about considerations specific to buying SaaS, such as contract terms, licenses, pricing and technical expertise.

SaaS management and buying tools such, as Spendflo, address the lack of buyer visibility. These solutions typically negotiate deals on behalf of the buyer, in addition to automating purchasing and renewal workflows. While there are various point solutions in the market to solve the issue of SaaS buying management, Spendflo is particularly helpful as it covers the end-to-end buying journey including managing, tracking and ensuring security.

Here’s why Spendflo matters:
