AI-Driven Spend Optimization
CleanShelf uses ML-powered usage patterns and benchmarking data to flag underutilized licenses and recommend downgrades or tier changes; this reduces manual review overhead and surfaces savings opportunities proactively.
Shadow IT Discovery
CleanShelf combines browser-extension-based traffic interception with SSO log parsing and vendor API enrichment to surface both sanctioned and shadow SaaS usage with high fidelity. Unlike pure API-based discovery, the extension captures usage even when apps fall outside federated identity.
Renewal Management Automation
Automated renewal alerts linked to contract terms, combined with intelligent vendor consolidation and benchmark-driven negotiation recommendations, help teams prioritize renewals and avoid auto-renewals at stale pricing.
Deployment Speed
Browser extension and SSO connector deployment are lightweight and fast (days, not months); initial SaaS visibility and cost reporting are available within 1–2 weeks, allowing quick ROI realization.
Usage Analytics & Visibility
The platform provides login frequency, feature adoption heatmaps, and inactive-user scoring per application, enabling precise license utilization calculations and right-sizing recommendations that go beyond simple seat-count audits.
AI-Driven Spend Optimization
Vendr uses machine learning to identify underutilized licenses, recommend downgrades, and automatically surface consolidation opportunities, helping organizations cut SaaS spend by 20–30% on average.
Shadow IT Discovery
The platform combines browser-based detection, SSO metadata, and API-based application hunting to surface unauthorized SaaS use across the organization, often uncovering 40–60% shadow IT spending.
Renewal Management Automation
Vendr automates renewal alerts with configurable windows, integrates benchmarking data to justify better pricing, and routes renewal negotiations to the right stakeholders—reducing manual tracking overhead.
Deployment Speed
Vendr onboards in weeks with pre-built integrations to major ERP and procurement systems, enabling customers to see application discovery and savings opportunities within 30 days.
Vendor Benchmarking Insights
The platform includes a proprietary benchmarking database showing what peers pay for identical tools, enabling procurement teams to negotiate from a data-backed position.
Usage Analytics & Visibility
Vendr tracks login frequency, feature adoption, and last-active dates per user and application, making underutilization visible and supporting automated license reclamation workflows.
Cross-Functional Workflow Integration
The platform integrates with Workday, NetSuite, and Coupa, embedding SaaS spend visibility and approval workflows into existing finance and procurement processes.
AI-Driven Spend Optimization
Sastrify uses machine learning to continuously score license utilization (underused, unused, right-sized) and surface anomalous spending patterns—detecting duplicate subscriptions and rogue tool adoption faster than manual reviews.
Shadow IT Discovery
The platform combines browser-extension monitoring, SSO login analytics, and API-based discovery across identity and collaboration platforms to identify unapproved SaaS usage with high precision, prioritizing applications by risk score.
Renewal Management Automation
Sastrify automates renewal calendar creation, expiry-window alerts, and benchmarking-backed pricing intelligence for each application, enabling procurement teams to intervene with vendor negotiation data weeks before renewal deadlines.
Deployment Speed
Fast API-first integration model allows organizations to achieve initial spend visibility and application discovery within 2–3 weeks, significantly faster than traditional procurement platform implementations.
Vendor Benchmarking Insights
The platform includes a proprietary database of anonymized SaaS pricing and term benchmarks, enabling buyers to understand market-rate pricing for specific tools and negotiate from a position of data-driven confidence.
Usage Analytics & Visibility
Sastrify aggregates usage telemetry (login frequency, feature adoption, last-active date) from SSO providers and application APIs, creating a single pane of glass for identifying unactively licensed users and consolidation opportunities.
Cross-Functional Workflow Integration
The platform bridges IT, Finance, and Procurement with shared dashboards, approval routing, and access controls—allowing each function to contribute data and act on recommendations without data silos.
