SaaS spend audit
Run a SaaS spend audit that ends with decisions, not another spreadsheet.
A SaaS spend audit is a focused review of what the company pays for, who uses it, when it renews, and what should happen next. You can begin with a CSV or Excel export without waiting for a full procurement system implementation.
The audit process
Eight steps from raw transactions to an owned plan.
1
Gather transaction and vendor data
2
Normalize vendor names
3
Identify recurring spend
4
Find duplicate or overlapping tools
5
Review ownership and business criticality
6
Review renewals and contract dates
7
Identify optimization opportunities
8
Produce an action plan with owners
What to capture
Vendor, category, department, owner, monthly and annual cost, billing frequency, renewal date, contract end date, licenses, active users, business criticality, alternatives, action, and notes.
What makes the audit useful
Separate facts from assumptions. Give every finding an owner. Distinguish potential addressable spend from a committed saving. Revisit the list after the next export.
