Paying for ghost seats?
Teams pay SaaS seats ex-users hold. Waste compounds monthly silently.
1. The problem
Small firms pay SaaS seats that departed staff still hold. Offboarding misses deprovisioning routinely. Finance sees totals, never users. Waste compounds monthly silently. The hardest part is usage truth per seat. A bill might hide dozens idle. That uncertainty makes it hard to pay only for users.
“Ghost seats bill us monthly silently. I need usage audits with one-click reclaims.”
2. What exists
Zylo, Vertice and spreadsheets audit SaaS spend, while small firms overpay blindly. Enterprise tools price steeply. A sheet might track poorly. There is little help with lightweight usage audits plus one-click reclaims for small teams.
3. The solution
The solution could be a waste-finder for SaaS stacks. It could detect idle seats from login data. It could reclaim with one click safely. Savings could report monthly plainly. The goal would be seats paid only when used.
