Overview

Definic is a vendor intelligence platform for IT procurement, built to help enterprises move from Excel-based processes to data-driven vendor decisions and deliver better enterprise software. The platform addresses common gaps in IT services procurement, where teams often rely on scattered data, manual workflows, unclear requirements, and fragmented RFP processes when selecting external vendors.

Definic provides one connected platform for scoping, sourcing, benchmarking, and managing IT service providers. It helps procurement and technology teams define project needs, structure RFPs, match vendors using delivery data, benchmark rates and capabilities, and maintain visibility across vendors, contracts, and projects. Its product areas include dashboard visibility, assessment, intelligence, benchmarking, management, and marketplace access to pre-vetted alternatives.

The company positions the platform around reducing procurement complexity, improving vendor selection, and giving enterprises better control over external IT delivery. Key themes include replacing Excel-based workflows, reducing procurement theatre, using real benchmarks, and helping customers achieve 10–20% savings on external IT services.
