Zylo is an IT Asset Management (ITAM) tool designed for the Enterprise. It excels at scanning your organization to find the mess that already exists.
Teams are constantly chasing employees to cancel tools they've already expensed.
Cledara gives you complete control over your cash flow. By issuing virtual cards for every subscription, we ensure no software can be purchased without an owner and a pre-approved budget.

FAQ

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.
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.It is possible but rare. Extremely large enterprises might use Zylo for historical reporting and license compliance across thousands of users, while using Cledara or a similar tool to manage the payment and procurement flow for specific departments or subsidiaries. However, for most companies under 2,000 employees, choosing one platform that aligns with your primary goal (Control vs. Discovery) is more efficient.
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.
