- This caused double spending on the same apps and poor tracking of vendor expenses.

Challenge
Managing our SaaS applications through spreadsheets was time-consuming and error-prone. Without a centralized system, we had little visibility into vendor costs and often ended up paying for duplicate or unused subscriptions. This lack of clarity made it difficult to control spending or identify opportunities to save.
As a lean team, we didn’t have the time or resources to renegotiate contracts or optimize our SaaS budget. It became clear that we needed a unified SaaS management solution to track expenses, eliminate waste, and simplify vendor management.
- CloudEagle.ai helped Wefunder optimize its SaaS buying by identifying ways to reduce extra charges on its compliance platform.
- The CloudEagle.ai team took over negotiations, removing Wefunder’s prepaid commitment to avoid upfront costs and gain flexible terms.
- Instead of switching tools, CloudEagle.ai focused on securing better pricing and terms with Wefunder’s existing vendor.
- Their expert negotiation led to better cost control and smarter SaaS spend management for Wefunder.
WeFunder evaluated several solutions but chose CloudEagle.ai for three key reasons:
- Wefunder chose CloudEagle.ai because their team uncovered ways to cut overages and improve contract value.
- CloudEagle’s negotiation experts eliminated prepaid commitments and got better financial terms.
- They focused on negotiating with the current vendor rather than pushing costly switches.
- This strategic approach saved Wefunder money and increased flexibility in their SaaS agreements.
Cost-savings through negotiation
- CloudEagle.ai's SaaS experts negotiated a 50% cost reduction for Wefunder’s compliance management tool.
- By analyzing app usage data and leveraging benchmarking information, significant savings on overages were achieved.
- This approach resulted in thousands of dollars saved for Wefunder, optimizing their SaaS spend.
Reducing cost and improving ROI
- The 50% reduction in compliance tool costs directly improved Wefunder's ROI.
- With more cost-effective solutions in place, Wefunder maximized their software investments.
- The savings allowed Wefunder to reallocate resources to more critical business needs, further improving overall efficiency.
Increased productivity and time saved
- CloudEagle.ai saved Wefunder’s procurement team 1,320 hours annually by handling vendor negotiations.
- The platform streamlined the procurement process, allowing the team to focus on higher-value tasks.
- Time saved on negotiations contributed to overall operational efficiency and increased team productivity.
