A software as a service (SaaS) management platform, includes: an uploader process for receiving a plurality of contract files relating to purchases of a SaaS application; parsing logic that identifies terms in the plurality of contract files; normalization logic for assigning a normalization SKU to respective contract files based on the terms identified in the respective contract files; a background process that generates anonymized contract data by storing the terms of each contract file in association with the normalization SKU assigned to the contract file in an anonymous manner; a backend process that, responsive to a request from a client device, accesses the anonymized contract data to generate a distribution of terms of the anonymized contract data, generates benchmark data identifying an approximate location of terms of a given customer's contract file within the distribution, and returns the benchmark data to the client device for rendering through a user interface.
