DIY, a consultant, your procurement team, or My Contract Doctors. Pick the path that fits your business — we'll show you what each looks like.
Reading a 30-page service agreement takes 5–20 hours, plus more time to research market rates. If you have legal background and the time, it works. Most operators don't.
Specialized contract consultants exist, typically charging $2,500–$10,000 per engagement. Their depth is excellent on a single contract; less so on ongoing monitoring or quick invoice audits.
If you have a dedicated procurement team, they can handle this — but service contracts (uniforms, linens, waste, fuel) often slip down the priority list behind larger spend categories.
Designed for small and mid-market businesses that don't have a procurement team and can't justify a consultant. Fast, low-cost, ongoing — and gives you the language to negotiate yourself.

If you're running a Fortune 500 with deep procurement infrastructure, a dedicated category-management team, and existing benchmarking data — you probably don't need us. Our sweet spot is small and mid-market businesses (1–500 locations) where contracts get signed, filed, and rarely re-read. If that's you, we're built for you.
