 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show! Today, we’re diving into a really cool solution that’s designed to help businesses save money across a ton of different spending categories. Have you heard of Varisource?

Speaker 2: I have, actually! It’s pretty fascinating because they offer immediate savings on vendor renewals and new purchases—over 100 spend categories. What stands out to me is how accessible it is: no upfront cost and results in under 30 days. That’s pretty impressive.

Speaker 1: Absolutely. And it’s not just small stuff. They tap into group buying power discounts for over 50,000 vendors, which means you get access to deals usually reserved for big players, regardless of your company size. That kind of scale really changes the game for smaller companies looking to stretch their budgets.

Speaker 2: Right, and beyond discounts, they offer rebates on renewals and purchases, which is essentially a second layer of savings. Most companies don’t capitalize on that, so it’s a smart way to boost cost efficiency.

Speaker 1: I also love that they provide free benchmark data. Having SKU-level insights on savings gives businesses clarity on where they’re spending too much and where they can negotiate better. Data-driven decisions like that are key in procurement.

Speaker 2: And speaking of negotiation, Varisource offers done-with-you or done-for-you vendor negotiation support, which is a huge relief for stakeholder teams juggling procurement and vendor relationships. It’s like having expert savings negotiators in your corner.

Speaker 1: Definitely a great support system. Another thing I find interesting is their Savings AI. It’s a comprehensive suite of artificial intelligence tools that automate vendor analysis, sourcing, extraction of files, request handling—you name it. This AI acts as your assistant to identify, estimate, and execute savings opportunities automatically.

Speaker 2: Yeah, the AI-driven approach is really forward-thinking. It not only streamlines the savings process but also provides ongoing support—analyzing renewal or purchase quotes, benchmarking vendors, and even researching better vendor options. That’s a ton of value wrapped up in one platform.

Speaker 1: Plus, it consolidates all vendor files into a single cloud, making it easy to track contracts and savings over time. Having everything in one place is a huge productivity booster for procurement teams who often deal with messy vendor paperwork.

Speaker 2: It truly seems to cover all bases—from CXOs looking to maximize company-wide savings to stakeholders managing daily vendor interactions. Even private equity firms use it to help increase portfolio company value and reduce costs. The platform is really built for every level of the business.

Speaker 1: So if any of our listeners are wondering how to get started, Varisource offers a pretty straightforward approach: schedule a 30-minute demo, analyze your spend file for a free savings estimate, and then start seeing those savings roll in. It’s simple and sounds like a quick win for any business.

Speaker 2: Exactly. And with zero upfront costs, there’s almost no barrier to trying it out. For companies wanting better margins and less vendor hassle, this kind of solution is worth considering.

Speaker 1: Well said. It’s always great to spotlight tools that make procurement smarter and budgets healthier. Thanks for unpacking Varisource with me today!
