Commercial Advisory

We help enterprises and advisory partners structure, negotiate, and govern complex software and AI agreements — from renewals and expansions to usage-based pricing, embedded AI, and platform transformation deals.

Model scenarios, define negotiation priorities, challenge vendor proposals, and structure agreements that support your roadmap.

We use years of experience negotiating  deals on vendor side to help you understand what sits behind the proposal.

 

Then turn that insight into clearer options, stronger negotiation positioning, and better commercial outcomes.

Commercial Clarity

See your options, trade-offs, and risks clearly before committing to a software, SaaS, or AI agreement.

FOUNDER INSIGHT

Built from years inside
enterprise software negotiations

After more than a decade working within enterprise software negotiations, Tereza Schneider founded LicenseCrafts to help organizations navigate licensing decisions with greater independence, transparency, and commercial control.

LicenseCrafts combines vendor-side insight with strategic advisory support that helps clients strengthen negotiation positions, reduce risk, and make confident decisions when licensing enterprise software.

Independent & Unbiased 
I’m not a reseller and I don’t earn from software vendors. My advice is independent, transparent, and always aligned with your commercial interests.
End-to-End Licensing Expertise
From renewals and expansions to compliance and optimization, I help organizations make confident, defensible decisions across the full licensing lifecycle.
Risk Prevention
I identify hidden costs, compliance triggers, and contractual risks early helping prevent costly surprises before they hit your budget.

Helping enterprises make smarter and
more transparent licensing
decisions.

After years working inside enterprise software vendors, we saw the same pattern again and again. 

What we believe in?

Great technology starts with a promise: better capability, faster scale, more productivity, innovation and growth. But somewhere along the way, it can become something else. 

 

Complex packaging. Shifting SKUs. Renewal pressure. AI add-ons and consumption. Commercial models keep changing faster than most teams can follow.

The result?

Companies are often left trying to make high-stakes decisions without a clear view of what they are buying, what they really need, or how their commitments will scale.

LicenseCrafts was founded to change that.

We help organizations bring commercial clarity back into software and AI decisions — so great technology can support progress, not slow it down with unnecessary cost, risk, or complexity.

OUR MISSION

We believe enterprise agreements should not be shaped by vendor revenue targets. They should fit the customer’s roadmap, operating model, risk profile, and ambition.

What sets us apart? 

 

Most procurement teams negotiate only a handful of major enterprise software deals in their role. We have supported hundreds of vendor-side deal cycles and know how proposals are shaped, approved, and negotiated.

This is our craft.

​Because a good enterprise deal should not feel like a trap.

It should be carefully crafted.

Structuring enterprise technology agreements is part strategy, part negotiation, and part art. We use our knowledge to help clients make better technology decisions, negotiate with confidence, unlock more value from technology, and let progress happen without unnecessary friction
