Software & SaaS Supplier Scorecard
A scorecard for software & saas suppliers turns quality, delivery, commercial and risk performance into a single monthly number you can defend in an award decision or a QBR.
SaaS licenses drift 10–20% per year, and shelfware plus overlapping tools quietly compound into a top-5 spend category. Without a scorecard, software & saas awards drift toward incumbency and price, ignoring reliability and total cost.
SourcingHub generates a software & saas-specific scorecard template with weighted KPIs, tracks them over time, and flags underperformers before they become an escalation.
Fields every Software & SaaS supplier scorecard should cover
- Active users vs licensed seats

- Edition/tier and unused modules
- Contract term and auto-renew clause

- Competitive alternatives on file
