FAQ
We already have a spreadsheet for vendor evaluations.
Spreadsheets break consistency and history; Vendorbench templates and exports reduce rework every quarter for media teams.
Isn't vendor scoring subjective?
Scoring standardizes the rubric and math, making media vendor reviews defensible and consistent across teams.
Do we need enterprise features like SSO?
Plans are self-serve and lightweight; if SSO or audit logs are required, it may not be the right fit yet.
Will this involve contacting our vendors?
No – it's an internal evaluation workflow tool for procurement teams, no vendor outreach.
