Beyond "IT Surveillance": Why Teams Choose Cledara Over Torii

Torii is an IT Management Platform designed for surveillance; it ingests data to map out what employees are already doing.

By the time Torii alerts you to a new piece of Shadow IT, the money has already been spent.

Cledara is built for Finance and control. We believe that finding Shadow IT is good, but preventing it is better. By issuing virtual cards for every subscription, we ensure no software can be purchased without an owner and a pre-approved budget.

“We now know when contracts are ending, and can actively contact vendors to renegotiate before they charge us. We use Cledara’s insights to help negotiate and explore other options.”

“I love having the ability to give control to other department leads. It empowers them and takes so much off our plate. I know it’s secure and we can still control the spend.”

Medina Mammadova, Seatfrog

“We have increased visibility and increased control over everything, and that has enabled us to stay focused on growing what3words.”

FAQ

What is Cledara?

Cledara is a platform for finance teams that gives visibility of your organisations software stack, provides data and insights to cut excess spend, and streamlines software-related admin. 

Now you have a detailed view of your software spending, you can see which tools are being used and where you could cut spend, painlessly. 

We don’t stop at savings, managing purchases and renewals is easy with simple workflows for requesting and approving new tools.

Finally, with payments for software built-in you have controls to ensure application owners can manage payments while you keep control with spend limits and budgets. We’ll even capture the invoices automatically, match them to payments, and sync with Xero and Quickbooks. 

Software is one of your biggest expenses, now you have the tools to reduce that expense by 30% and save 20 hours a month on admin. 

Can Cledara replace Torii?

For Finance-led teams, yes. If your goal is to manage SaaS spend, renewals, and vendors, Cledara is a complete solution. However, if your primary goal is deep IT security audits (like managing detailed OAuth permissions), Torii offers specialized IT features that Cledara does not focus on.

Why do companies choose Cledara?

Cledara helps finance teams get full visibility over their stack, cut excess spend and streamline software-related admin.

Here’s why companies choose Cledara:

  • Save costs on software: Get alerted to under utilized tools and seats, catch duplicate tools and features and get alerted to every change in price.
  • Automate the admin: Capture invoices automatically, reconcile against payments and sync to Xero and Quickbooks
  • Buy and renew with confidence: Set up smart approval flows to evaluate new applications and renewals, to make sure every cent is spent right.
  • Payments built for software: Now you have controls to ensure application owners can securely manage payments while you keep control with spend limits and budgets.
