How is StackSmart different from Vertice?

Vertice is a SaaS procurement and spend optimization platform that manages vendor buying, renewals, and contract negotiations. StackSmart is a report-first tool — upload billing exports, invoices, or contracts and get a savings report with keep, cut, consolidate, and renegotiate actions you execute yourself.

Can I try StackSmart before uploading my own data?

Yes. StackSmart has a public sample report you can review before uploading any billing data or paying.
