Their Pitch
You're wasting budget on software. Stop it.
Our Take
A SaaS spending detective that finds every app your company uses (including the ones IT doesn't know about) and tells you how much you're hemorrhaging.
Deep Dive & Reality Check
Used For
- +**Your marketing team bought 12 different tools that all do email campaigns** → Zylo finds the overlap and shows you're paying $180K for what one tool could do
- +**Renewals auto-charge your credit card at 3am and you find out months later** → Get alerts 90 days early so you can actually negotiate or cancel
- +**Half your Slack licenses are for people who quit 8 months ago** → Automatically spots unused accounts and reclaims licenses before renewal
- +Benchmarks your pricing against other companies - shows you're paying 40% more than peers for the same tool
- +Connects to your corporate cards and expense systems to catch shadow IT purchases in real-time
Best For
- >Your departments are buying software like drunk sailors and finance is having a breakdown
- >IT keeps discovering new $50K annual licenses they never approved
- >You're spending millions on SaaS but nobody knows what half of it does
Not For
- -Small teams under 100 people — the platform cost won't justify the savings you'll find
- -Companies with tight IT controls where every purchase gets approved — you don't have enough chaos to optimize
- -Anyone spending less than $2 million annually on software — the math doesn't work
Pairs With
- *SAP Concur (where it pulls expense data to find rogue software purchases)
- *Salesforce (to track which sales tools are actually generating revenue)
- *Slack (where teams will complain when you cancel their favorite productivity app)
- *DocuSign (for contract management when you're negotiating better renewal terms)
- *Tableau (to create executive dashboards showing how much money you're saving)
- *Okta (to see which single sign-on apps people actually log into)
- *NetSuite (where the finance team tracks the budget impact of your optimization)
The Catch
- !This is enterprise pricing disguised as a cost-saving tool — expect to pay serious money upfront
- !You'll need someone to actually act on all the recommendations or it's just expensive reporting
- !The real savings come from saying no to renewals, which means internal political battles with teams who love their tools
Bottom Line
The enterprise nanny that catches your departments buying software behind IT's back and makes them explain themselves.
