Ongoing Value
Reduce your software costs —forever
Yes, Cledara can help you cut your software spend by ~30%. But this isn’t a one-time saving. Since teams constantly add in new subscriptions, this is a strategy to streamline spend in the long term.
Complete Visibility
Prepare your stack for growth
Get a live inventory of your team’s tools, including users, usage, contracts and compliance info. This way, your stack is totally visible. Even if it doubles or triples as you grow.
Collaboration
Streamline decision-making
Get a smooth, collaborative process to decide whether to buy new tools. Custom approval flows send all the relevant info to all the relevant decision-makers.
Software Payments
Gain total control of your spend
With payments built for software, you can say goodbye to surprise price hikes and auto-renewals. Not to mention, cancel subscriptions in one single click.
Cledara vs other platforms
General spend management tools like Brex, Ramp and Payhawk are not built to manage software. These tools handle travel and daily business expenses, but won’t provide a complete picture of your software stack or the capabilities to manage your software.
Cledara not only gives you spend control, but also provides a comprehensive picture of your stack, usage and costs – and helps you handle the day-to-day. If you care about savings, Cledara also discovers actionable optimization opportunities such as duplicates, overlaps and tools that are no longer (or only lightly) used.Negotiation services like Tropic, Vendr and Sastrify cover only one aspect of managing your software. They may help with initial cost savings, but won’t help you on the other 90% of your software management.
These tools also don’t provide financial control, and won’t prevent people from buying new tools on their own. Not only that, these tools don’t give you a complete picture of your stack.
Cledara goes beyond initial savings, by providing a platform to get a comprehensive picture of your stack, its usage and costs, automate your software day-to-day, and optimize for value across your software investments.
IT SaaS management tools like Torii, Bettercloud and Zylo don’t provide the financial control you need and fail to bring Finance, budget owners and users together.
These tools only cover specific tools for which they’ve built integrations, so often they can’t serve all the tools on your stack.
Cledara offers complete visibility of your stack, regardless of integrations, and facilitates the core Finance and IT operations that bring these teams together to drive the software strategy.
How Cledara Compares
“Thanks to Cledara we have visibility over renewals and we can actively contact vendors to renegotiate before they charge us. We use Cledara’s insights to assess usage, ROI and explore other options.”
Nathan Humphreys, Finance Manager
“We were using Spendesk but it wasn’t great because we couldn’t see who owned each subscription or who was using it and it could only track some of our software spend. Cledara changed how we managed software and made life a lot easier.”
Peter Fallowfield, IT Manager
“As we were growing rapidly, we needed a way to manage all our software subscriptions and pay for these services by debit card. And that's exactly why we reached out to Cledara.”
Jan Hospodk, Chief Operations and Finance Officer
“Cledara Engage immediately captured 15% more subscriptions we hadn't heard of and automatically linked them to our account so that I could look for the owner.
Jenny Liu, Head of Finance
