Audit & Discover SaaS Expenses

SaaS expense management tools allow you to audit your software environment and investigate SaaS spend. Allocate SaaS expenses and usage across all departments and facilitate financial accountability with SaaS expense chargeback.

• Uncover which departments are responsible for software expenses 
• Define who owns an application within the organization 
• Analyze costs by department, region, application, GL code, and more 
• Identify the source of unknown IT expenses 

Reduce SaaS Spend

Understand which applications and software licenses are in use, identify and eliminate low and zero usage software licenses, allocate costs across various departments, and consolidate applications to reduce SaaS spend.

• Highlight departments with unusual spend trends
  
• Ensure licenses needed temporarily for projects don’t keep billing 
• Eliminate applications with overlapping functionality to minimize spend 

Manage SaaS Invoicing

Ingest, process, and analyze SaaS invoices to uncover spend details otherwise undetectable via APIs and other SaaS integration methods. Dispute unapproved charges and track SaaS spend and savings by department, vendor, and application. 

• Capture hidden charges, such as staging instances, that APIs alone cannot find
• Compare usage and charges to contracts to verify consumption-based invoice accuracy 
• Dispute inaccurate charges and log credits received from resolution 
• Allocate variable costs and charge back to SaaS consumers based on actual billing amount

Gain Complete SaaS Cost Optimization

• Reclaim licenses from company leavers for repurposing or rightsizing 
• Run “what-if” policy scenarios to identify opportunities for greater SaaS savings 
• Compare duplicate or wasteful application functionality to initiate software retirement
