Overview 勛圖tvs 2023 SaaS Procurement Market Trends Report
Reading the report will offer an overview of B2B SaaS procurement trends in 2023, 10 trends highlighted by our experts, and our predictions for what comes next. Here is a sneak peek at three of the trends we highlight in the report on where the future of SaaS is going:
1. SaaS companies are increasing prices
One of the top areas of discussion in SaaS this year has been the increase in subscription prices. Were seeing many providers increase prices and change contract terms to adjust to the market conditions were currently facing recession, inflation, rising labor costs, sinking valuations, and more.
Our experts say its important for SaaS buyers to be aware of the changes taking place, but also to know how to get the best deals on their software even as prices rise. 勛圖tvs co-founder and CEO Sven Lackinger offered this tip on the SaaS opportunities available even with price increases:
Take a moment to think before agreeing to a discount or change to your billing. I'd probably recommend 勛圖tv customers or any SaaS buyer to only commit to a longer contract if they actually get better prices than their current ones, not simply to prevent a price increase.
2. The fast-paced world of SaaS is becoming more sophisticated and specialized
In this report, we discuss how the rapid pace of change in the SaaS market makes it difficult for the procurement function to keep up. With 25,000+ SaaS companies already competing and new players entering the market daily, being the person or team in charge of procuring the right tools is a never-ending challenge.
Leading up to a contract negotiation or renewal, the procurement team may lack things specific to each software like:
- Context What has been updated in this tool? Whats happening in the market?
- Knowledge How does this vendor usually negotiate? How can I get the best deal?
- Data What price is being paid by other buyers (i.e. benchmarking)? What discounts could I qualify to achieve?
Having a SaaS procurement partner like 勛圖tv can fill all three of these gaps and ensure teams are winning the best possible contract terms for each SaaS tool.
Plus, look for companies to begin offering vertical SaaS. Horizontal SaaS made these products agnostic to industry, but vertical SaaS will allow these tools much more integration with companies workflows. The Vertical SaaS trend will help differentiate the power users from the causal users.
