LONDON and NEW YORK, June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertice, the AI procurement platform built for the modern enterprise, today announced its acquisition of Vendr, the US software pricing leader.
The deal creates the world's largest procurement intelligence dataset, as Vertice will integrate Vendr's software insights with its own. The combined data represents more than $75+ billion in global indirect spend across 32,000 vendors, including real-world pricing and human-to-human interactions from 250,000 negotiated contracts, ranging from software to services. The expanded dataset extends Vertice's leadership in fully autonomous spend negotiation.
Customers including ARM, Brex, Duolingo, Twilio and Santander will be able to access the data directly within the Vertice platform. Insights will be surfaced at the point of decision to help finance and procurement teams evaluate vendors, manage renewals, and plan negotiations with greater speed, confidence, and precision.
Roy Tuvey, Founder and CEO, Vertice, said:
"Vertice and Vendr have shared a vision for AI in procurement: to build purpose-designed AI agents trained on real-world data and tailored to specific procurement use cases. By bringing these teams together, we can accelerate everything - from the breadth of agents we can build, to the commercial impact we deliver for customers. We are setting a new benchmark for what procurement teams should expect from AI procurement platforms.
"Our combined software pricing data and vendor intelligence has 2M+ price points and surpasses that of our nearest competitors by an order of magnitude. With deeper insight into vendor pricing, commercial terms, sales tactics and risk, our customers will consistently achieve stronger procurement outcomes.
"Training our AI - including 'Ana', our autonomous negotiation agent - on this same rich, procurement-specific dataset makes it even more powerful. Our agents work around the clock helping customers reduce manual effort while delivering best-in-class savings."
Ana is Vertice's autonomous negotiation agent which has been trained on hundreds of thousands of real-world negotiations. Procurement buyers can now scale their coverage and minimize effort by using Ana to negotiate on their behalf. Buyers set their priorities, policies and thresholds and Ana engages with the vendor directly to optimize outcomes, such as cost savings, payment terms or policy compliance.
Vertice and Vendr together operate more than 60 procurement AI agents, all used regularly by over 1,000 customers worldwide. These agents support customers across key procurement workflows, including intelligent intake, pricing optimization, workflow efficiency and third-party risk assessment.
Customers will benefit immediately from a stronger offering and Vendr customers will also gain access to Vertice's award-winning Intake-to-Procure platform.
Ryan Neu, CEO of Vendr, said:
"Vendr was founded on a simple observation: buyers were making million-dollar purchasing decisions with only a fraction of the information available to the vendor across the table. We spent years closing that gap - building the data, tooling, and negotiation expertise to rebalance that dynamic.
"Joining Vertice means that intelligence is now significantly richer - by far the most comprehensive available - and embedded directly within the platform where procurement decisions are made. I'm proud of what we built independently, and even more excited about what our two organizations can build together."
Vertice has this year been recognised by Lionfish Tech Advisors, a global analyst advisory firm, as the Leader in Intake-to-Procure platforms, and as the Leader in Procurement Orchestration in G2's Summer 2026 Grid Report. Forrester also named Vertice as a Notable Vendor in its 2026 Landscape report on Supplier Value Management.
Roy Tuvey, Founder and CEO, Vertice, said:
"Vertice has become the clear choice for enterprises seeking to move beyond fragmented, reactive procurement toward a model where every purchasing decision is intelligently orchestrated, executed quickly, and grounded in robust market intelligence."
Vertice was founded by serial entrepreneurs Roy and Eldar Tuvey. The brothers have two decades of experience running enterprise SaaS companies, most notably founding ScanSafe and Wandera, which exited for $183 million (Cisco) and $400 million (JAMF).

Vertice acquires Vendr to create the world's largest procurement intelligence dataset and lead autonomous AI negotiation
TOKYO, May 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Smartee Denti-Technology, a global provider of clear aligner solutions, recently held a two-day Certified Seminar on Mandibular Advancement Repositioning Technology in Tokyo on May 23–24, 2026. The program focused on evidence-informed clinical management of jaw discrepancy cases with clear aligner therapy.
Together with local Japanese clinicians, Smartee lecturers Dr. Tao Guo and Dr. Xiaotian Liu shared their insights into the clinical application of Smartee's GS mandibular advancement repositioning technology and discussed its role in addressing complex orthodontic cases within clear aligner therapy.
Growing Interest in Advanced Clear Aligner Solutions in Japan
In recent years, Smartee has continued to expand academic exchanges with orthodontic professionals in Japan. Through this interactions, the company has observed increasing public awareness of oral health and dental aesthetics, alongside growing interest in orthodontic treatment among adult patients.
At the same time, the broader adoption of digital dentistry has contributed to a favorable environment for the development of advanced aligner-based treatment approaches.
During academic exchanges with local clinicians, Smartee observed continued clinical interest in the management of Class II skeletal malocclusions. Such cases often require considerations beyond routine dental alignment and may require a comprehensive understanding of mandibular positioning and occlusal relationships.
Two-Day Clinical Training Program
The seminar agenda was designed to provide participants with both theoretical understanding and practical exposure to Smartee mandibular advancement repositioning technology.
On Day 1 (May 23), sessions focused on the introduction, classification of malocclussion, indications, mechanism of action, and clinical workflow of the technology. Participants discussed diagnostic considerations and treatment planning approaches related to mandibular advancement protocols.
Day 2 (May 24) covered more advanced clinical topics, including radiographic observations related to temporomandibular joint remodeling adaptation following mandibular advancement, retreatment strategies for challenging cases, and early intervention approaches for growing patients.
The seminar concluded with a hands-on bite registration workshop, where participants practiced occlusal registration techniques, followed by a certification ceremony.
Active Clinical Exchange with Japanese Orthodontists
Throughout the seminar, participants engaged in active clinical discussions with the speakers, raising questions related to diagnosis, treatment indications and patients management.
Clinicians newly introduced to the technology discussed the diagnostic classification system for malocclusions and examined differences in mandibular morphology across patient types.
Participants also exchanged views on patient compliance in mandibular repositioning protocols, including practical communication strategies for improving adherence during treatment.
"The level of clinical interaction throughout the seminar was highly encouraging," said Dr. Tao Guo. "Participants connected the discussions closely with cases encountered in daily practice and raised practical questions regarding case selection, treatment indications, and patient compliance strategies. We appreciated the opportunity to exchange clinical perspective with orthodontic professionals in Tokyo."
Smartee stated that it will continue strengthening academic exchange and professional training initiatives in Japan as part of its long-term commitment to supporting local orthodontic professionals and expanding localized services in the Japanese market.
