Salary benchmarks
Our take
Vertice is an early stage startup looking to take its first strides in the SaaS procurement market. Whilst SaaS has been around for decades, the explosion of business-critical SaaS over recent years has seen corporate spend balloon, and ecosystems only get knottier. Vertice’s platform aims to help finance leaders to exercise more control over the spend, efficiency, and quality of their SaaS procurement. The solution is designed for finance, IT, and procurement teams.
Vertice’s founders are veterans of the SaaS scene, having created and ultimately successfully sold ScanSafe and Wandera over the past two decades.
With deep knowledge of the SaaS market, substantial resources, and crucial experience, the team behind this platform have the clout to compete against better-established competitors in the SaaS procurement software market. They have recently raised impressive funding, and will be focused on accelerating its global growth revenue, expanding engineering and commercial teams, and developing the platform.
