Vendor calendar

Vendors discount on their calendar, not yours. The vendor calendar reads the two together.

The page opens on the quarters closing soon, because that is where the leverage sits. When a sales team is days from its close, discount authority loosens, and the same ask lands harder.

Four views share the masthead. The timeline lays every vendor's fiscal year out. The agenda threads each close and each of your own notice deadlines into one chronological ledger, grouped by month, so their calendar and yours read as a single plan. Close pressure ranks who is squeezed right now, and your renewals sets your paper against those windows. Press one through four to switch, slash to find a vendor. Click any vendor and a dossier opens: the next four closes, the timing read, and your agreements with the moves ready. Sometimes the strongest play is patience. A stalled deal often needs three more weeks, just long enough for their quarter to squeeze them.

Time the ask, and the discount follows.
