Looking for a Gatekeeper alternative for facility vendors?
Gatekeeper is a vendor and contract lifecycle management platform for procurement, legal and finance teams, with renewal alerts and AI clause extraction. Evalystar is vendor management software for facilities and procurement teams that proves whether those contracts are honoured in the field: it checks contract coverage before a job is booked, has site staff rate every completed job, and checks invoices against the contract and the work done.
What Gatekeeper is
Gatekeeper is a vendor and contract lifecycle management platform with a contract repository, workflows, custom scorecards, renewal alerts and AI clause extraction. It is built for procurement, legal and finance teams managing suppliers across every category, not only facilities. Pricing is custom and based on the number of third parties you manage.
Where it falls short for facility services
Gatekeeper manages the contract, not the work done under it. Its contract repository is not tied to individual jobs, so it cannot tell you before booking that a job is already covered. Scorecards are periodic rather than captured at each job by the person who saw the work, and there is no invoice check against completed work and no trade rate benchmarks.

Contract lifecycle depth. If your main need is a contract repository with clause extraction, approval workflows and renewal alerts across every supplier category, Gatekeeper is the stronger tool and speaks procurement's language.
Proof that the contract was honoured. Evalystar checks coverage before a job is booked so you do not pay twice, rates every completed job at the site, checks invoices against the contract and the work, and gives you public rate benchmarks for the next negotiation.
