Support Portal (tickets, resources) and product documentation are the publicly listed support routes; Vendavo University covers training. No plan tiers, hours or SLA are published. The phone number and email addresses on the contact page are headquarters/general contacts, not support lines.
“Not listed” means the vendor’s public pages don’t mention that channel, not that it is unavailable. Ask about it during evaluation.

Bottom line
Vendavo is an enterprise commercial platform for B2B pricing, quoting, agreements and rebates, aimed at manufacturers, distributors and industrial services firms managing large, complex product portfolios. One data model connects to ERP, CRM and CPQ systems, with AI and machine learning embedded for price optimisation, deal guidance and margin-leakage analysis. Vendavo reports customers typically gain 1–3% gross margin, faster quote cycles and fewer rebate errors. Pricing is quote-based and implementation is a consulting-heavy enterprise project.
Frequently asked questions
What results do Vendavo customers report?
Vendavo states customers commonly see 100–300 basis points of pricing and margin improvement, with 1–3% gross margin gain highlighted on its customer page. Published examples include Dell Technologies sending 90% of quotes within four hours with 75% needing no pricing approval, and a customer adding $3.7M of new revenue in under four months. Outcomes depend on data quality, pricing governance and process discipline.
How is Vendavo priced?
Vendavo does not publish list pricing; the pricing page offers a demo and a data sheet instead. Commercials are quoted per enterprise, normally as an annual subscription scoped to modules, users and SKU or transaction volumes. Buyers should budget separately for integration and implementation services, which are usually delivered with Vendavo or its consulting partners.
How long does implementation take?
Vendavo publishes no standard timeline. The platform connects to ERP, CRM and CPQ systems through APIs, batch jobs and file-based exchange, so effort scales with the number of source systems, pricing rules and channels involved. Customers describe phased rollouts and cite payback within months of go-live, but buyers should plan for a multi-quarter enterprise programme.
Which systems does Vendavo integrate with?
Vendavo names Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, AWS and Microsoft Dynamics among supported platforms, plus ERP, CRM, CPQ, financial and eCommerce systems more generally. Integration methods include real-time APIs, batch processing, structured data exchange and secure file-based integration for journal extracts and reconciliation, with governed, auditable data flows.
What certifications and compliance standards does Vendavo hold?
The security page states annual ISO 27001:2022 certification, SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 audits, and a published CSA STAR CAIQ self-assessment. It also states support for EU and UK GDPR and California CPRA requirements, with encryption in transit and at rest, RBAC/ABAC, SSO, segmentation and 24x7x365 security operations oversight.
What AI does Vendavo include?
Vendavo describes quantitative AI, machine learning and agentic AI embedded in the platform, including a conversational Pricing Assistant for questions on margins, discounting and pricing opportunities, and an AI Rebates Assistant for incentive and special pricing agreement work. Price optimisation uses transaction signals and elasticity modelling with explainable recommendations. The sources do not name underlying model providers or state how customer data is used for training.
