Procurement

What procurement teams ask about Callvu in every vertical: the requirements, the concerns, where the cost of inaction shows up, and what the platform does.

Requirements

CriterionWeightCallvu's answerLast verified
Proven value before a long-term commitment5Callvu starts with a proof of value on one of your real processes. It has two gates: the process completes at the agreed level, and every completed run carries a clean compliance record. If it passes both gates, it converts to your first-year license and the proof of value is credited in full. If it does not pass, you pay nothing.2026-11-02
A pricing model that can be audited5Pricing is outcome-based, with the Governed Resolution as the unit: a run in which the runtime enforced a control and recorded the outcome. A license, sized by the number of processes, comes with an allowed number of Governed Resolutions. Runs that end before any control is enforced do not count. Callvu does not bill per resolution. Every Governed Resolution has a matching record you can inspect. Pricing is shared after discovery, scoped to your processes.2026-11-02
Time to value4Live in a few weeks, versus a few months for traditional BPM suites. Callvu builds the processes for you, trains your team and stays through launch. In production: Phoenix Insurance had 100+ processes live in under three months, with all core systems integrated in 4 weeks; AT&T Business deployed secure payments to 55,000 agents in 5 weeks.2026-11-02
Vendor risk4Founded in 2012. SOC 2 Type II with an unqualified opinion. Named enterprise customers in production, including AT&T Business, Bank Leumi, Banca Transilvania and Phoenix Insurance. More than 100,000 agents and more than 1,000 processes run on the platform. Callvu raised about $10 million at its start, and has been profitable and growing since.2026-11-02
Exit terms and data ownership3Each customer's data sits in its own database. At contract end it is exported to you or securely deleted.2026-11-02
Security review readiness4Ready on request: SOC 2 Type II report, PCI DSS attestation, HIPAA business associate agreement, annual penetration test results, and the Architecture and Security Document.2026-11-02
Fit with existing vendors3Callvu complements the contact center, CRM, core, GRC and WFM systems you already run. It does not ask you to replace them.2026-11-02

Concerns

“We have a vendor freeze or are consolidating vendors.”

The proof of value is built to fit inside a freeze: one process, a fixed scope and two gates. You pay nothing if it does not pass, and if it passes, the business case comes from your own data.

Last verified:

“We already invested heavily in our platform.”

Callvu protects that investment. It runs on top of your existing contact center, CRM and core systems, and makes the work they start finish correctly.

Callvu may not be needed if: Your existing platform already runs every step, outside parties included, with no re-keying or email chasing, and pulls any transaction's complete step-by-step record in minutes without anyone assembling it, a record that has held up in a recent exam.

Last verified:

“This looks expensive next to what we already have.”

Compare against the cost you already carry: re-keying, rework, work waiting in inboxes, and compliance exposure. The Cost of Doing Nothing estimator puts a number on it in your own volumes. The proof of value then measures it on one of your processes before you commit.

Last verified:

“The alternative is cheaper, or its pricing is simpler.”

Load the alternative's full cost: implementation, integration upkeep, and the operating cost of a higher exception rate. Also check how its unit of value is defined and whether you can audit it.

Callvu may not be needed if: The alternative's full cost, counting implementation, integration upkeep, re-keying, rework and staff time assembling evidence, is truly lower for the same outcome: every step enforced, outside parties included, any transaction's record in minutes, and changes shipped in days.

Last verified:

“We can add this to our existing platform contract.”

Ask for a contractual delivery date, performance standards and a production reference for step-level enforcement.

Last verified:

“Finance will not approve without a precise ROI.”

Two steps. The Cost of Doing Nothing estimator gives finance a model in your own numbers. The proof of value then produces a measured completion rate and a compliance record on your own process, so finance approves on evidence instead of projections.

Last verified:

“This does not meet our threshold for unplanned spend.”

The proof of value has a fixed scope and two pass-fail gates, so the commitment is known before it starts. If it does not pass, you pay nothing; if it passes, it is credited in full toward your first-year license.

Last verified:

“We are mid-contract with current vendors.”

Callvu does not displace those contracts. It runs alongside them.

Cost of inaction by vertical

The typical annual estimate is the Cost of Doing Nothing estimator's result for a typical organization in that industry.

Claims behind these capabilities

  • CAP-01Customer productionSelf-asserted

    A process can be started by the customer's server, a webhook from any system, a phone menu that texts the caller a link (Visual IVR), the Callvu AI chat, an outside AI agent over MCP, a campaign spreadsheet, a public link or an inbound email.

    Any AI agent, including the customer's own, can start a Callvu process over MCP, and the same evaluation and enforcement apply. Sensitive data never goes into an AI chat; must-not-skip steps stay on a process-controlled screen.
