“Cledara immediately surfaced 15% more subscriptions we hadn't heard of and automatically linked them to our account so that I could look for the owner, understand the costs, and reach out to the provider to renegotiate.”

What is SaaS management and how do I know if I need it?
SaaS management is the process of managing the software tools and expenses in a company.
It’s a relatively new term, born out of the rise of SaaS solutions. With new tools emerging daily and tech stacks growing out of control, companies are now seeing software as their second highest expense behind payroll and it comes with significant administrative overheads for Finance and IT teams managing the purchasing, payments and access.
The goal of SaaS management is to bring this back under control by providing the tools to reduce spend, manage the purchasing and approvals and empower IT to manage access, compliance and shadow IT.
