Challenge
We wanted to optimize our SaaS portfolio and reduce spending, but we didn’t have clear visibility into our applications. Managing everything through spreadsheets gave us limited and often inaccurate data. Without a centralized system, IT couldn’t tell which apps were approved or shadow IT, and finance struggled to track costs by app or vendor.
At Heath Ceramics, this lack of visibility made SaaS management complicated and time-consuming. We needed a simple way to see all our apps in one place, track spending accurately, and eliminate unnecessary tools to stay efficient and cost-effective.
