Number of Seats/Users: ELIT offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows ELIT that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from ELIT. ELIT reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: ELIT offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from ELIT. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: ELIT often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that ELIT is generally perceived as a strong, all‑round source‑to‑pay platform that delivers real value, especially for teams looking to streamline procurement and keep costs predictable.

Based on feedback from Spendbase clients, a few themes stand out:

1. Biggest value drivers

• End‑to‑end automation
• Automates purchase requests, RFx, quote comparison, and invoice handling.
• Cuts manual work around supplier onboarding and coordination.

• Our internal data shows that clients often report reduced cycle times and fewer process bottlenecks.

• Process simplification

• “All-in-one” flow from sourcing to invoice approval.
• Helps procurement, finance, and operations work from the same source of truth.

• Especially useful for teams previously juggling several disconnected tools.

• Supplier and customer collaboration

• Easier coordination with both suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Suppliers can check invoice status on their own, which reduces email back‑and‑forth.
• Real‑time shipment tracking adds transparency and trust to the process.

2. User experience and adoption

• Modern, visual interface that is considered intuitive.
• AI‑driven bot is appreciated for guiding users through tasks and reducing training needs.
• Our internal data shows that teams ramp up relatively quickly compared to more complex legacy suites.

3. Support and implementation

• Spendbase clients consistently highlight:
• Responsive and helpful support teams.
• Hands‑on assistance during rollout and configuration.
• This lowers the hidden “time cost” of adoption, which matters a lot in total cost of ownership.

4. Where to be mindful (from a cost/discount perspective)

From a Spendbase discount angle, here’s what we typically advise clients to watch and negotiate around:

• Module bundling
  Since ELIT covers sourcing, contracts, eAuctions, and invoicing, it’s worth:
• Aligning licenses with actual usage (avoid paying for modules not yet adopted).

• Negotiating ramp‑up discounts for phases where not all modules go live at once.

• User tiers and supplier access

• Clarify pricing for additional buyers, approvers, and supplier portals.
• Lock in predictable pricing for growth, as our internal data shows usage often expands once teams see value.

Overall, our internal data shows that ELIT tends to pay off best for organizations looking for a unified, AI‑driven platform and willing to consolidate multiple tools into a single contract — which is exactly where we can usually unlock meaningful discounts and savings.
