Challenge

We faced major challenges managing SaaS contracts without a centralized system. Tracking renewals through spreadsheets made it difficult to stay on top of vendor timelines, leading to frequent auto-renewals.

Without automated reminders, we often missed renewal deadlines and couldn’t switch to better or more cost-effective platforms. This resulted in being locked into unwanted contracts and paying for applications we no longer needed.

Solution
  • Wefunder implemented CloudEagle.ai to automate renewal workflows, starting 90 days in advance with reminders to ensure timely renewals and improved ROI.
  • CloudEagle integrated with Wefunder’s SSO and finance systems in just 30 minutes, centralizing SaaS visibility and organizing all contracts and vendors in one dashboard.
  • The platform automatically extracted contract metadata, created renewal calendars, and reduced manual tracking efforts.
  • CloudEagle’s SaaS buying experts helped cancel auto-renewals and provided time for usage-based reviews, enabling smarter negotiations and cost savings.
Why CloudEagle.ai?

Wefunder evaluated several solutions but chose CloudEagle.ai for the following reasons:

  • CloudEagle’s 90-day renewal workflows gave Wefunder time to plan, compare options, and avoid last-minute renewals.
  • Integration with SSO and finance systems centralized vendor and spend data, improving transparency and efficiency.
  • AI-powered metadata extraction automated contract tracking, ensuring renewal visibility and better organization.
  • CloudEagle’s expert team helped Wefunder cancel unnecessary auto-renewals and negotiate better vendor terms, boosting ROI and reducing SaaS costs.
Impact
“Savings started from day 1 as we had actionable insights from CloudEagle to optimize our SaaS spend.”

No More Missing Out On Renewals

  • Wefunder now saves 1350 hours annually on contract renewals, thanks to CloudEagle.ai’s 90-day advance workflows.
  • These workflows give the team ample time to proactively decide on contract renewals or renegotiations.
  • This allows them to avoid last-minute decisions and manage renewals more efficiently.

Savings Realized

  • CloudEagle.ai’s reminders for a vendor’s 60-day notice period enabled Wefunder to renegotiate terms well in advance.
  • This proactive management resulted in $416,000 in lifetime savings.
  • The platform helped Wefunder stay ahead in negotiations, ensuring better deals and contract terms.

Timely renewal notifications

  • With CloudEagle.ai’s early reminders, Wefunder used the 30-day window to analyze license usage.
  • They found underutilized licenses and canceled the contract before the notice period.
  • By switching to a more cost-effective vendor, Wefunder significantly reduced their SaaS expenses.
