Sound familiar?

Vendor management eats hours that should be running the business.

Most Calgary small businesses we onboard are paying for shadow subscriptions and renewing at retail. Here's what we see most.

1

Hours on hold with the ISP

Operations stops while you wait for tier-1 to confirm your account number again.

2

Nobody internally tracks vendors

It becomes the owner's problem until the day it does not get done at all.

3

Renewals catch you at full retail

Every year, the same surprise charge — and the same vow to "look at it next year."

4

Vendors blame each other

When ISP, firewall, and SaaS finger-point, your team waits.

5

You have no subscription inventory

Mystery monthly charges and no real list of what is even active.

6

License counts do not match headcount

You are paying for seats whose owners left long ago.

7

Hardware warranties expire silently

A failed laptop becomes a buy when it could have been a claim.

8

Vendor incidents have no history

Without RCA records, the same thing happens twice — and you cannot push back.

What's included

Everything you'd expect,
plus what most agencies skip.

Every project includes the full list. Nothing is “an upgrade” or “out of scope” later.

Single point of contact

One number for every tech vendor issue — we handle the coordination and follow-up.

ISP & telecom liaison

Outages, service changes, escalations, and renegotiations handled directly with the carrier.

SaaS subscription inventory

Every subscription tracked: cost, owner, plan, renewal date, billing cycle.

Renewal tracking

Renewals flagged 60–90 days out so you can review, negotiate, or cancel — not auto-renew.

License optimization

License counts reconciled against actual users — wasted seats recovered.

Warranty tracking

Warranty status, expiries, and claim history per device — failed gear becomes a claim, not a buy.

Escalation on your behalf

Unresponsive vendors and disputes pushed using our partner relationships.

Vendor performance

SLA adherence and incident history tracked per vendor — evidence when it is time to switch.

Contract repository

Centralized contracts, T&Cs, MSAs, DPAs — never scramble for paperwork mid-incident.

Quarterly vendor review

A focused 60-min meeting on performance, costs, and renewals — with clear recommendations.

In the box
