For whoever signs the vendor agreements.
Sidecar is built for companies where one person — an owner, a head of operations, a finance lead — still reads or signs most vendor agreements. Sidecar reads them first, a person looks over any review you ask about, and then the renewals are watched for you.
You sign the contracts nobody else reads.
Every vendor agreement ends up on your desk, usually with a deadline attached. Sidecar reads it first and hands you a verdict, a risk score, and the points worth pushing back on — each with the clause quoted — and a Sidecar reviewer will look it over whenever you ask.
You inherit the agreements someone else signed.
Renewals and notice windows are scattered across inboxes and shared drives. Add the agreements you already have and Renewal Watch puts every notice deadline on one runway, with alerts at 30, 14, and 7 days before each one.
You need to know what is committed, and when.
Escalators, auto-renewals, minimum commitments — the money is in the clauses. Where a figure can be worked out, each negotiation point carries the dollars at stake and the arithmetic behind them, so you can see what an ask is worth before anyone spends time on it.
Your own MSA goes out before anyone re-reads it.
Sidecar reviews the agreements you send as well as the ones you sign. It is the same review — verdict, risk score, the clauses to tighten — with the verdict framed as whether your own paper is safe to send.
