For founders and CEOs

Know every commitment before the board asks

At a startup the CEO signs most contracts and remembers few of them. Keep every vendor, renewal date and exit cost in one register you can read in five minutes.

Today

What slips as the company grows

  • Tools sign up faster than anyone tracks them

    Self-serve signups leave a confirmation email and a card charge, and nobody records the renewal.

  • Renewals arrive as invoices

    The first sign of a renewal is the bill, after the notice window has closed.

  • Due diligence needs a list you do not have

    An investor or acquirer asks for material contracts, and the answer is a search through email.

With the register

Six jobs you stop doing yourself

Each one used to need a spreadsheet or a memory. Now the register does it.

  • Remembering what you pay for

    Every vendor with an owner and a reason, even before the contract turns up.

  • Tracking notice dates

    Renewals listed by the day you must act, not the day the contract ends.

  • Retyping contracts

    Upload the PDF and check the proposed fields instead of typing them.

  • Building the spend sheet

    Committed spend split into what you can forecast and what you cannot.

  • Chasing who uses what

    Ask the team lead to confirm with one link. No account needed.

  • Preparing the review

    Ask an agent for everything renewing next quarter, with open gaps.

Worked example

The cost of finding out late

A worked example from the fictional demo portfolio. A 120-seat CRM order form renews automatically with 90 days' notice.

  • The window closed 11 days ago

    The demo's Tessellate CRM order form now renews for another term. The renewals list says so plainly.

  • The next term is already committed

    At $100,000 a year for 120 seats, a missed notice date is a year of spend you can no longer cut.

  • Leaving early has a price

    The order form carries a $23,200 early termination charge, recorded next to its renewal date.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

We have no procurement team. Does this still work?

Yes. It is built for the person who owns the budget, with or without a procurement function. Add vendors and paperwork yourself; nothing needs a connection to another system.

How long does it take to get started?

Load the demo portfolio to see the finished product, then add the vendors you know about. Contracts can follow as you find them.

Can my finance person use it too?

Yes, for free. Finance partners and colleagues who confirm vendors never count toward the price.
