The Vendor & AI Control Tower

Your software landscape is full of AI. We bring it under control.

Every SaaS vendor is building AI into its software — often unnoticed ("shadow AI"), and increasingly as autonomous agents acting on their own. VendorManager.nl is your Control Tower: one continuous, subscription-based monitoring service that manages your vendors and the AI inside their applications. Independent, live within four weeks.

  • Know which vendors use AI — and how
  • Contracts, costs and renewals under control
  • Ready for the EU AI Act, without slowing innovation
Example supplier register: contract status, documents and risk rating per vendor
Why now

AI is already inside your vendor landscape — including where you cannot see it

The analysts agree: AI is being built into the software you already buy, and is rapidly evolving into autonomous agents. If you do not manage your vendors, you will soon not manage your AI either.

<5% → 40%

According to Gartner, the share of enterprise applications with built-in, task-specific AI agents grows from under 5% in 2025 to 40% by the end of 2026.

EU AI Act

The European AI Act phases in step by step and demands demonstrable control of AI risk at your véndors too — not just your own AI.

The Control Tower

One subscription that watches your vendors and their AI

Just as you outsource payroll or IT management, you outsource the oversight of your entire vendor landscape to us — contracts, costs, risks, renewals and the AI that arrives through updates. Staffed by one dedicated team — not software you have to operate — with three promises. You stay in charge; we keep watch.

We see everything

One up-to-date register of all your vendors, contracts and the AI inside their applications — including "shadow AI" that slips in through an update without anyone reporting it.

We warn you in time

Renewal alerts, price changes and new AI features at your vendors — you hear it from us before it costs money or risk, not after.

We keep you demonstrably compliant

An audit-ready AI file per vendor and clear reporting for board and regulator — ready for the EU AI Act, without piles of paperwork.

A look inside the tower

What you see — and what we watch

Three examples of what the Control Tower keeps track of for you. No software to learn: you get the overview, we do the work behind it.
