Profit
Result

Edge gained complete visibility into its SaaS stack, attributing spending to applications, vendors, and departments. Granular insights facilitated the right-sizing of licenses, optimizing costs. The shift to CloudEagle's centralized dashboard from spreadsheets enhanced spend management, enabling informed optimization decisions.

Key Highlights:

  • CloudEagle provided spend visibility, granular spending details, and centralized spend management.
  • Edge eliminated spreadsheet-based spend tracking and made informed cost optimization decisions.

We were using a decentralized approach to managing our SaaS applications and their associated spending. However, this approach resulted in lapses in spend data, causing our SaaS spend to spiral out of control.

Managing the SaaS spend in this manner posed significant challenges. Even though we tracked our apps broadly with spreadsheets, we didn’t have all the details, like what licenses we bought and how much they cost.

Our finance team struggled to track each department's spend on applications because our spreadsheets lacked comprehensive recording.

Solution

“Our onboarding process was very quick, and CloudEagle instantly integrated with our internal systems and started scanning our SaaS portfolio.”

- Iffi Wahla, Co-founder and CEO of Edge
