VendorHawk

VendorHawk was a Seattle-based SaaS subscription and vendor management platform that helped IT and finance teams discover, track, renew, and optimize software spend across the organization. Founded in 2014 and backed by Techstars, VendorHawk was acquired by ServiceNow (NYSE NOW) in an all-cash transaction announced in April 2018 and folded into the ServiceNow platform. The vendorhawk.co domain now 301-redirects to servicenow.com, and the product has no independent public API, developer portal, or artifact surface of its own.

VendorHawk is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, SaaS Management, Vendor Management, Subscription Management, and Software Spend.
