How Kit transformed scattered contracts into strategic spend management

Before SpendHound: navigating spend without a map

Before Kit started using SpendHound, managing contracts was a mess. Each team handled their own deals with vendors. Contracts lived in inboxes, Slack threads, and half-populated Google Drive folders, with only 25% centrally stored.

Nobody really knew when renewals were coming up; the only alert came when charges appeared at the end of the month. Beyond the operational friction, there was a shared feeling across the team that they weren’t getting the best value from their vendors and a broader concern that they were wasting resources.

Kit knew things had to change, and they were actively exploring procurement platforms to bring structure, visibility, and savings to their spend. In fact, they were close to signing with another, more expensive provider when they came across SpendHound.

The idea of a free model quickly caught their attention. While there was initial skepticism, conversations with other users and a closer look at the software showed it was a credible and capable platform. The team decided it was worth a try.

Getting started with SpendHound

Kit’s onboarding experience was much easier than expected. Once the team decided to move forward, most of the setup was handled by SpendHound.

All Kit had to do was provide access to their contracts and a few details. In just three weeks, the team had full visibility into their vendor relationships. SpendHound’s team took care of the hard stuff, so Kit’s team didn’t have to.

“It was easier than expected. We just gave them access and they did the heavy lifting.”

Anthony says the process was quick and simple: no big meetings, no IT headaches. When SpendHound added their Brex integration, the benefits were immediately clear.

While the Brex integration was still in development at the time, once it went live, the value became evident right away.

After SpendHound: Visibility, leverage, and peace of mind

“We ended up getting a higher level of service for less money. That was a huge win for us.”

The team now uses a dedicated Slack channel for SpendHound alerts. If something important comes up, finance sees it instantly and can step in when needed.
