Vertice puts 18% savings claim into an AI negotiator

Vertice launched Ana after more than 4,000 live software negotiations covering $500 million in spend, claiming 18% average savings and 15 days cut from renewal cycles. The Ana launch announcement says its dataset spans 250,000+ negotiated contracts, $75 billion+ in spend, 2 million+ price points, and 32,000+ SaaS vendors, while Ana’s product page describes autonomous and copilot review modes. Procurement teams should file this as a capacity claim to test against their own renewals—not a guaranteed 18% budget cut—alongside Cato’s case for reviewing bid accountability.
