Run vendor evaluations your board can stand behind.
Dilly Labs gives financial institutions the structure, the data, and the documentation to make vendor decisions with confidence — replacing spreadsheets and consultant-led processes with a purpose-built procurement platform.
If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
You're evaluating a vendor right now and the process lives in a shared spreadsheet and an email thread.
You signed a contract two years ago and you're not sure the pricing still makes sense.
A regulator or board member asked how you selected a vendor and the honest answer was uncomfortable.
You inherited a vendor stack from the previous team and have no documentation of why any of it was chosen.
You're about to renew something automatically because nobody has time to run a proper evaluation.
The Platform
From first conversation to signed contract — with a paper trail.
Dilly guides your procurement team through a structured seven-stage process. Every decision is documented automatically. Every evaluation is reproducible.
Find the right vendors
Draft · Scoping · Sourcing
Describe your need in plain English. Dilly's AI agent asks structured clarifying questions, identifies the right vendor category, and builds a shortlist from 500+ vetted fintech vendors — in hours, not weeks.
Replaces: peer referrals, cold outreach, and informal network asks
Run a structured evaluation
RFP Active · Evaluation
Issue a standardized RFP with AI-generated requirements and evaluation criteria. Vendors respond through a structured portal. Score proposals side-by-side with weighted criteria. Every score, every note, every comparison is recorded.
Replaces: email-based RFPs, spreadsheet scoring matrices, consultant-facilitated evaluations
Decide with confidence
Negotiating · Decided
Enter negotiations knowing what the market pays. Dilly surfaces anonymized pricing benchmarks across your vendor category so you're not negotiating blind. The final decision produces a documented rationale — exportable for board review, regulatory examination, or internal audit.
Replaces: instinct-based negotiation, undocumented decision rationale, scrambling when an examiner asks
Why It Matters
Built for the way regulated institutions actually buy.
Know what you should be paying.
Dilly aggregates anonymized pricing data across every procurement engagement on the platform. When you enter a vendor negotiation, you see where your quote sits relative to what comparable institutions have paid. Most institutions discover they've been overpaying — and negotiate from a position of market knowledge for the first time.
The leverage you never had before.
A decision your board can defend.
Every evaluation run through Dilly produces a complete procurement record: what you required, who you considered, how you scored them, and why you chose who you chose. When a board member or examiner asks how you selected a vendor, the answer is a single export — not a memory test.
Audit-ready by default.
Weeks, not months.
The average unstructured vendor evaluation takes three to four months of back-and-forth across email, spreadsheets, and calendars. Institutions using Dilly's structured workflow run the same process in three to six weeks — with better documentation at the end of it.
Structure creates speed.
Never get surprised by a renewal.
Dilly tracks every vendor contract, usage pattern, and renewal date in your stack. When a contract is approaching renewal, the platform flags it with enough lead time to run a proper evaluation — or negotiate from a position of strength instead of inertia.
Renewals become decisions, not defaults.

Who Uses Dilly
For every leader who owns a vendor decision.
Dilly fits naturally into the workflow of every stakeholder involved in vendor procurement — not just the person who runs the RFP.
VP of Technology / CTO
You need vendors that integrate cleanly, scale reliably, and don't create technical debt. Dilly's structured evaluation ensures technical requirements are captured, scored, and documented — not lost in a sales conversation.
Chief Risk Officer
Every vendor in your stack is a risk surface. Dilly's procurement process documents vendor capabilities, compliance certifications, and evaluation rationale — giving you an auditable record of how risk decisions were made.
Compliance Officer
When examiners ask how you selected a vendor, Dilly gives you a complete answer. Every procurement engagement produces documentation that maps directly to the governance requirements your institution operates under.
CFO / Finance Team
Vendor contracts represent significant and often poorly tracked spend. Dilly's pricing benchmarks and spend dashboards give finance teams visibility into what's being paid, what the market rate is, and where renegotiation is warranted.
COO / Operations
You're accountable for vendor performance after the contract is signed. Dilly's monitoring layer tracks usage, flags variances, and surfaces renewal timelines — so operational surprises become manageable events instead of crises.
CEO — Smaller Institution
At smaller institutions, the CEO often owns vendor decisions directly. Dilly gives you the same structured procurement capability that larger institutions have dedicated teams for — without the overhead of building it yourself.
