Before implementing Zluri, Sorbet's IT team struggled to manage over 100 SaaS tools manually, with little to no visibility into unmanaged applications and shadow IT.
Zluri's powerful discovery capabilities provided Sorbet with complete visibility into its entire SaaS ecosystem. The platform uncovered the full scope of Sorbet’s SaaS usage, identifying numerous unmanaged and shadow applications that had previously slipped under the radar. Zluri seamlessly integrated with Intuit QuickBooks to automatically retrieve SaaS expenditures, enabling precise spend tracking at the user, application, and department levels. This newfound insight enabled Sorbet to regain control of its SaaS environment, enhancing compliance and security.
Sorbet faced challenges with fragmented SaaS management, often relying on financial transactions to trace and identify applications. This tedious and error-prone process led to overspending and hindered informed decision-making.
By implementing Zluri, Sorbet centralised its SaaS management, gaining clear visibility into each application's usage and spending. This newfound insight allowed the IT team to optimize SaaS expenses, saving around 15% licence costs on applications with user-based subscriptions within just the first six months. The centralised platform also enhanced decision-making, enabling Sorbet to allocate resources more effectively.
Without Zluri, Sorbet risked missing contract renewals, leading to unexpected auto-renewals, missed opportunities for better negotiation, and continued payment for underutilised or outdated tools.
One key advantage of using Zluri was its effective contract management capabilities. Sorbet utilized the platform to set up reminders for contract renewals, ensuring that no deadlines were missed and providing ample time to negotiate better terms or cancel underused subscriptions. This proactive approach allowed Sorbet to stay on top of their SaaS expenses, avoiding costly renewals for tools that no longer served their needs.
Zluri helped Sorbet’s IT operations secure its SaaS environment, cutting costs and complying with regulations. The platform’s powerful discovery and automation features have transformed Sorbet’s SaaS management from a reactive to a proactive approach, reducing security risks and improving overall efficiency.
"Zluri has been a great partner in helping us achieve significant cost savings and operational efficiency. Their platform's comprehensive capabilities and exceptional support have made a real difference in optimizing our technology landscape." - Danny Eventov, Head of IT Security, Sorbet.
