Number of Seats/Users: Red Falcon 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 Red Falcon 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 Red Falcon. Red Falcon reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Red Falcon 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 Red Falcon. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Red Falcon 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 Red Falcon generally lands in the “solid but with room to optimize” category for small office products dealers.

From Spendbase clients’ feedback, the main strengths are:

• Operational reliability
• Consistent 4–5 star satisfaction.
• Described as “very reliable” and key to running the business efficiently.
• Core functionality
• Strong inventory and order processing.
• Simple wholesaler/vendor integration; easy export of orders to wholesalers.
• Built-in eCommerce with online ordering for end customers.
• Ability to view multiple vendor prices in one place.
• Support & training
• When clients reach the right person, support is “supportive and helpful.”
• Formal training is rated very highly and often reveals unused features.

At the same time, our internal data shows recurring friction points:

• Usability gaps
• “Too many clicks” to get to key information.
• Manual order entry and adding items to online orders feels clunky.

• Missing convenience features such as an easy stock check in pending orders.

• Pricing & commercial terms

• Overall cost is seen as on the high side for small dealers.
• Charging extra for the website landing page is a common complaint.
• Inconsistent pricing updates and odd markups from vendor feeds erode trust.

• Minimum buy quantities are not visible alongside vendor pricing, making margin decisions harder.

• Fit vs. actual usage

• Some smaller clients barely use the online ordering windows, meaning they may be paying for functionality they don’t fully leverage.

From a Spendbase discount perspective, these points translate into clear negotiation levers:

• Push for better value on:
• Website/landing page fees
• Support model (e.g., dedicated account advisor vs. generic call desk)
• Pricing update SLAs and data accuracy commitments
• Consider trimming or downgrading:
• eCommerce/online ordering modules if usage is low
• Add-ons related to web features that are redundant with existing tools

In short, our internal data shows Red Falcon can be a strong operational backbone, but most Spendbase clients benefit financially by tightening module scope and negotiating around support quality, web features, and pricing data reliability.
