Vendor Intelligence, without the blind spots.
See vendor reality as it changes. Act with context across your organization, with continuous visibility into risk, exposure, and impact so more spend stays under management.
The vendor intelligence problem
Vendor information is spread across systems, tools, teams, and people, making it difficult to understand risk, exposure, and impact in time to influence decisions. Most organizations have plenty of tools. What they lack is vendor intelligence.
Data is fragmented
Vendor information is scattered across emails, contracts, ERPs, portals, calls, and meeting notes. Context is distributed across systems and teams, with no shared understanding of vendors at any given moment.
Delayed decision context
Teams spend hours assembling vendor context before decisions can even begin. Understanding is pieced together late, inconsistently, and without confidence. By the time context exists, leverage is already lost.
Late risk detection
Risk and exposure surface only after opportunities to act have passed, when impact is harder and costlier to avoid. Governance happens in hindsight, not while decisions are still in motion.
Before
- •Fragmented vendor understanding across the organization
- •Context spread across systems and teams
- •Changes in vendor behavior discovered late
- •Risk and exposure identified after commitments are made
- •Governance focused on explaining outcomes, not shaping them
After
- •Shared vendor context across the organization
- •Continuous visibility into risk, exposure, and impact
- •Early signals surfaced while decisions are still in motion
- •Confident action informed by current vendor reality
- •Stronger control of spend under management
What's now possible
Modern AI makes it possible to understand vendors in context as situations change, across the organization, so teams can act on early signals before outcomes are locked in.
Make sense of fragmented vendor context
Pull relevant signals from emails, documents, systems, and conversations, so vendors can be understood in full, even when information is incomplete.
Get clear answers when decisions matter
When questions arise, current vendor context can be surfaced on demand, grounded in how the organization actually operates, without stitching together information across teams.
Turn context into decision-ready action
Prepare clear summaries that support reviews, risk discussions, and leadership decisions.
A unified system of vendor truth
A shared, organization-wide understanding of vendors that brings context together and keeps decisions grounded in reality.
Bring fragmented vendor information into shared context
Vendor information lives across systems and teams. Cotiss brings those fragments together into a shared, usable understanding of each vendor.
