What does a SaaS audit actually involve?

Export users from top tools, match to roster, cancel ghosts. Map department overlaps. Hour per tool, done.

How much are companies wasting on unused SaaS?

Up to 30% of spend — seats to ex-staff, forgotten trials. Mid-market: $100k+ easy.

Maybe, but they're more bloat. Start with spreadsheets. Visibility beats another login.

Average company: 200 SaaS apps, one-third unused. That's not growth; that's a money pit dug by hires who bolt and leave seats bleeding cash.
