The problem

The renewal date is a trap.

Most vendor contracts auto-renew unless you give notice 30–90 days early. Miss that window and you’re locked in for another year at whatever rate they set. The spreadsheet that tracks it lives on one person’s laptop, the reminder never comes, and the spend creeps up unquestioned.

Austerity moves the deadline that actually matters — the last day you can still act — months ahead of the renewal, while the vendor still thinks they have you on autopilot.

What you get
01

Store every contract

One place for every vendor agreement. Drop in the PDF — Austerity reads the terms and you confirm. No more hunting through inboxes and shared drives the week a renewal lands.

02

Track the spend

Total annualized vendor spend, broken down by department, with every billing cycle normalized to a single yearly number. The figure a COO can quote in a board meeting.

03

Never miss a renewal

Every contract sits on a timeline sorted by its actionable date, color-coded by urgency. Tiered alerts — 90, 30, and 7 days out — reach Slack and email with enough runway to act.

04

Negotiation copilot

On demand, Austerity researches the vendor's current pricing, credible alternatives, and support sentiment, then hands the contract owner a playbook before the renewal call.
