SaaS Sprawl - You’re probably paying for more software than you think.
Not because of bad decisions. Because it’s never been easier for anyone in a company to buy SaaS. A team needs a tool - they sign up in minutes, expense hits a corporate card, no one else even knows it exists. Now multiply that across Sales, Marketing, Finance, HR, and Operations.
What you end up with:
Multiple tools doing the same thing
Data scattered across platforms
Integration gaps no one owns
Costs that quietly compound every month. We see this in almost every organization we work with. Tech stacks that look intentional on the surface, but underneath are 20 to 30 percent redundant.
And the fix is not complicated. It starts with visibility. Then alignment. Then making a few decisive cuts.
In most cases, rationalizing your SaaS stack is one of the fastest ways to improve margin without touching headcount.
Before adding another tool, it’s worth asking:
Do we already have something that does this?
