Looking for a Gatekeeper alternative for facility management?
Gatekeeper is a powerful vendor and contract lifecycle tool. But it wasn't built for facility managers, and that gap shows.
What Gatekeeper is
Gatekeeper is a mid-market vendor and contract lifecycle management platform with custom scorecards, renewal alerts, and AI clause extraction. It is a solid product for procurement teams managing supplier relationships across many categories and industries.
Where it falls short for facility teams
Gatekeeper wasn't built around service job tracking. There's no concept of rating a cleaning shift, an HVAC visit, or a landscaping run. Scorecards are manual and generic, not triggered by job completion. There are no facility-specific service types or evaluation criteria built in.
