Our clients
Our history
In 2003, Maple Street founder Mike Crofts was negotiating vendor contracts for credit unions and community banks. To his surprise, he discovered his clients weren’t managing their vendor contracts, resulting in loss of revenue and chaotic vendor management relationships. Seeing an overwhelming need, Mike started Maple Street as a contract management service and the business took off.
Our Industry Knowledge Working For You
The Maple Street team quickly noticed a lack of consistency and discipline was prevalent throughout the industry. Some clients were paying vendors more—sometimes a lot more—than others. Contracts weren’t visible and continually rolled over on automatic renewals or clients renewed contracts without negotiating them because they believed there was no negotiation power.
"Maple Street has saved its clients millions of dollars in vendor costs since 2003."
