They’re Already Saving with SoftVaro
SoftVaro has proven to be a reliable and collaborative partner. Our partnership is based on trust and clear communication. They have helped us reduce software costs and save significant time through efficient processes that require minimal involvement from our internal teams.
Independent software procurement for enterprise organisations
SoftVaro is your independent software procurement partner for Tier 2 and Tier 3 software. We work exclusively for the buying party and are fully on your side — no reseller commissions, no vendor interests, no hidden agendas. Our clients are enterprise organisations with 1,000+ users spending millions annually on software, often spread across hundreds of suppliers in the long tail.
Why an independent partner makes a difference
For your strategic Tier 1 contracts, you have benchmarks, leverage, and your LSP’s attention. But for Tier 2 and Tier 3 renewals, you negotiate without market intelligence. Your Large Service Provider disengages as soon as the Total Contract Value falls below the threshold. The result: auto-renewals without review, licenses for former employees still active, and shadow IT purchased outside procurement. For most enterprise organisations, 10–20% of the software budget disappears this way — often structurally, year after year.
SoftVaro fills this gap with live market data from 4,000+ software suppliers, a documented negotiation process, and a team that works exclusively in your interest. Under DORA and NIS2, third-party risk inventory for Tier 2 and 3 suppliers has also become a compliance obligation — no longer a nice-to-have, but a reporting requirement for your board and regulator.
Four services, one streamlined process
Our services revolve around four core activities that cover the entire renewal cycle. With Insight & Spend Analysis, we map your full software spend within 24 hours: what you pay, what you should pay, and where the budget leaks. Through Negotiation, we engage publishers on your behalf, armed with benchmarks from the same sector, region, and size class. Contract Management & Renewals keeps track of your deadlines, terms and auto-renewal clauses — no surprises three weeks before renewal. And with Vendor Consolidation, we rationalise your long tail: fewer suppliers, less complexity, better terms.
For CTOs, CFOs, procurement and IT
Whether you’re responsible for the software portfolio from IT, finance, or procurement: we align with your own processes and SAM stack. No tool implementation, no lengthy integrations. We operate from Haarlem for Dutch and international enterprise clients, explaining every change before you sign. Auditable for your risk and compliance teams, transparent down to the last detail, and always starting freely with an initial benchmark.
