Challenge
Solution
- CloudEagle.ai implemented automated workflows for purchase, renewal, and compliance reviews.
- The system alerted Finance and Operations to duplicate apps during intake, ensuring clean procurement cycles.
Result
- Streamlined and automated approvals saved time and operational costs.
- Eliminated the need for a full procurement team while improving overall efficiency and governance.
Challenge
As a rapidly growing ML Operations firm, we struggled with an inefficient purchase approval system that relied on scattered emails and spreadsheets. Handling 1-2 renewals weekly was difficult for our finance team, especially with 8-10 stakeholders from IT, security, legal, finance, and executives involved in approvals.
Requestors had no visibility, causing weeks-long delays and occasional missed contract renewals that led to last-minute approvals to avoid access issues. This cumbersome process needed a complete overhaul to improve efficiency, transparency, and prevent operational disruptions.
Solution
- Automated SaaS procurement workflows for purchases, renewals, and compliance reviews to boost control and efficiency.
- Enabled employees to track approvals visually, speeding up processes and improving collaboration across departments.
- Introduced proactive alerts to flag duplicate employee-purchased apps, eliminating manual inventory checks.
- Reduced operational overhead and streamlined procurement for faster, more effective approvals.
