Challenge
Challenge
Birdeye encountered software sprawl as various teams accumulated many applications, each tracked on individual spreadsheets. This led to a challenging and non-scalable process for the finance and operations teams as they attempted to catalog apps, users, and verify transactions using spreadsheets.
The pandemic intensified the problem due to a significant increase in SaaS purchases, rendering manual spreadsheet management unfeasible.
The existing spreadsheet setup lacked visibility into user activity, impeding effective cost optimization. To gain a precise overview of their SaaS ecosystem, expenditure, and user engagement, Birdeye sought an efficient solution to tackle these hurdles.
