01
Builds the brief before the call.
Benchmarks, leverage, switching cost, walk-away — pulled from real usage telemetry and peer pricing. Every claim sourced. Nothing invented.
Stop overpaying for software.
Node's AI procurement agents and negotiation coaches make sure your team aces every deal.
The vendor knows more about your deal than you do.
They know what your peers pay. They know your usage is down. They know your renewal is 30 days out and nobody's started a review. They've done this negotiation a hundred times. Your team is doing it for the first time, with a spreadsheet and a calendar reminder.
What Node does.
02
Coaches the negotiation in real time.
What to push on, where to hold, when to walk. Based on how the vendor prices, how your usage compares, and what your peers actually got.
03
Nothing slips through.
Renewal deadlines, stalled approvals, unsigned papers — Node's escalation engine surfaces what's stuck, who's blocking, and what's about to auto-renew without a review.

What are we paying, and is it justified?
Three questions every CFO will ask about a vendor deal. Node makes sure procurement has the answer before the meeting.
Step 1 — The brief
What's our leverage, and what's the walk-away?
Node's agent pulls your usage telemetry, peer-set benchmarks, and the vendor's own pricing posture into a one-page brief. Every claim grounded in a real source. Your team reads it before the call, not after.

Step 2 — The deal room
What's the full picture on this vendor?
Every comment, every redline, every vendor counter, every security exception — captured against the underlying capability and the workflows that depend on it. One thread, auditable forever.

Step 3 — The approval
Who signed off, and based on what?
Thresholds drive the route. Policy checks happen on the deal-room record, not in a separate tool. Audit trails are built, not assembled at year-end. And when something stalls, Node chases it so your team doesn't have to.
