Vendor Selection

Evaluate and compare vendors with your team using consistent criteria.

The Challenge

Vendor decisions involve multiple stakeholders with different priorities. Finance cares about cost, IT cares about integration, and end users care about features. DecisionGrid helps you capture everyone's perspective, weight criteria appropriately, and see where your team agrees — and where more discussion is needed.

How DecisionGrid Helps

  • Compare vendors using the same criteria across the board
  • Document why you chose one vendor over another
  • Include stakeholders from different departments fairly
  • Revisit decisions when contracts come up for renewal

Example Scenario

Situation

A company is selecting a new CRM platform to replace their legacy system.

Options Considered

  • Salesforce
  • HubSpot
  • Pipedrive
  • Build custom

Evaluation Criteria

  • Implementation cost
  • Ongoing cost
  • Integration with existing tools
  • User adoption risk
  • Customization flexibility

Outcome

Scoring revealed that while Salesforce had the best features, the team's low confidence in user adoption made HubSpot's simpler UX a better fit. The documented rationale helped explain the decision to leadership.
