SaaS Audit and Inventory Service

Our SaaS audit and inventory service gives you a single, accurate picture of every application you pay for. We find the apps finance does not know about, the seats nobody uses, the tools that overlap, and the renewals that pass unreviewed, then quantify exactly how much of it you can recover.

Most companies cannot say with confidence how many SaaS applications they pay for. Spend hides in expense cards, departmental budgets and auto renewals nobody reviewed. Our SaaS audit and inventory service builds the complete, accurate map: every app, every seat, every renewal date, and what each one actually costs against what it actually delivers.

We are independent and buyer side. We take no vendor commission and are paid only by the buyer, so the audit serves your budget, not a seller.

What the SaaS audit and inventory service delivers

A complete application inventory

We consolidate finance records, expense data, single sign on logs and admin consoles into one inventory of every application in use, including the shadow IT that never went through procurement.

Seat and utilisation data

For each app we capture the seats purchased against the seats actually used, so shelfware and inactive licenses become visible rather than buried.

Duplicate and overlapping tools

We flag where multiple tools do the same job, such as several meeting, messaging or storage products running in parallel, so the estate can consolidate onto what you already own.

A renewal calendar

We capture every renewal date and notice period so nothing auto renews unreviewed and every contract reaches you with enough runway to negotiate.

A quantified savings map

We translate the inventory into a number: how much sits in shelfware, duplication, wrong tiers and unreviewed renewals, and what it would take to recover each part.

Why an inventory comes first

You cannot right size, rationalize or negotiate what you cannot see. The audit is the foundation for every other saving. Once the inventory exists, the recoverable spend is obvious and the sequence to recover it is clear.

Where this fits in the wider engagement

The audit is the entry point to the flagship digital workplace cost optimization program. From the inventory we move into license right sizing and reclamation for the unused seats, tool rationalization for the duplicates, and SaaS renewal negotiation for the contracts. Ongoing SaaS management and governance keeps the inventory accurate so waste does not creep back.

Frequently asked questions

What is a SaaS audit and inventory service?

It is a complete, accurate map of every application you pay for: the apps, seats, utilisation, duplicates and renewal dates, plus a quantified view of how much spend you can recover from shelfware, overlap and unreviewed renewals.

How do you find apps we do not know about?

We consolidate finance and expense records, single sign on logs and admin consoles, which surfaces shadow IT and departmental subscriptions that never went through central procurement.

How long does an audit take?

It depends on the size of the estate and the data available, but the inventory is designed to be fast because it is the foundation for every later saving. We scope the timeline up front.

What do we get at the end?

A single inventory of every app and seat, a renewal calendar, a duplicate and overlap map, and a quantified savings map showing what is recoverable and in what order.

Is the audit independent?

Yes. We are buyer side only, take no vendor commission and are paid only by the buyer, so the audit serves your budget rather than any vendor.

What happens after the audit?

The inventory feeds right sizing, tool rationalization and renewal negotiation across the whole digital workplace stack, which is where the recovered spend turns into a permanently lower run rate.
