The vendor management challenge
Fragmented vendor data buries lean teams.
Vendor data lives in spreadsheets, shared drives, and inboxes. Contracts sit in one system. Risk assessments sit in another. Insurance certificates expire without anyone noticing. Performance is reviewed from memory and not data.
That results in onboarding taking weeks of chasing. Compliance gaps surface at audit. Renewals arrive without context. And the vendor management team is the human glue holding it together, spending its time on administration instead of relationships.
How Gatekeeper Helps
One vendor record with everything connected.
Contracts, risk, compliance, performance, spend and contacts on one record per vendor. AI Agents monitor for changes and flag what needs attention before your team has to look.
Onboard in days
instead of weeks.
Vendors submit documents, certifications and banking details through a self-serve portal. The Insurance Certificate Agent reviews what arrives.
The Due Diligence agent chases what is missing. Your team reviews exceptions and stops reviewing inboxes.
Every renewal decision made from data.
Every renewal surfaces with the vendor's performance, spend, compliance and risk already attached.
The Contract Renewal Agent flags deadlines before notice periods pass, so nothing gets missed.
Track performance against what vendors promised.
Gatekeeper's balanced scorecards attach directly to the vendor record. Every review is structured, comparable, and visible to anyone involved in the relationship.
When a renewal comes up, the performance history is already there for you.
Compliance that stays current without you.
Gatekeeper continuously monitors financial, cyber, and compliance signals.
When a certificate nears expiry, the Compliance Monitoring agent automatically chases a replacement.
Evidence stays current as a steady state, not a pre-audit scramble.
Agents doing the work nobody wants.
More than 50 agents built in, not bolted on, across the full vendor lifecycle. The Insurance Certificate agent reviews every certificate to the same standard.
The Due Diligence agent chases questionnaires. The Renewal agent surfaces decisions with full context. Every action is visible, explainable and auditable.

How Redwood Logistics automated contract renewal reviews with Gatekeeper Agents
case study
“Gatekeeper's Agent handles the work my team would normally do at the start of every renewal: identifying what the vendor does, what we spend, and producing a brief with recommendations. By the time we start, the groundwork is already done. It is 95% faster to get the context we need, on every renewal, hundreds of times a year.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions from vendor managers.
How long does it take to go live?
Most customers are live within six weeks. Gatekeeper's implementation team handles data migration, workflow configuration, and onboarding. Your team does not need to stop working while the platform is set up.
Can vendors submit their own documents?
Yes. Gatekeeper's Vendor Portal gives every vendor a self-serve experience. They submit documents, certifications, banking details and questionnaire responses directly. Your team reviews what arrives instead of chasing what has not.
What happens to our existing vendor data?
Gatekeeper imports your existing vendor records, contracts and documents. Gatekeeper's AI's automatically extracts key metadata so your team doesn't re-enter everything manually.
How does continuous monitoring work?
Gatekeeper monitors financial, cyber and compliance signals across your vendor base. When a risk score changes, a certificate nears expiry or a news event affects a vendor, the platform flags it and agents chase what is needed. Your team is notified, not expected to check.
We already have too many systems. Why add another?
Gatekeeper replaces the gap between your systems, not adds to the stack. Vendor data, contracts, risk, compliance and spend sit on one record instead of five tools and a spreadsheet.
Do we keep control over what agents do?
Every agent action is visible, explainable and auditable. Agents handle the volume. Your team makes the decisions. Nothing is approved, rejected or changed without a clear trail of what happened and why.
