SaaS Expense Tracker & Budget
An internal SaaS spend management system that records the company's SaaS subscriptions (the app, the vendor, the commercial terms, and the contract details on a single record), the departments that own the spend, the budgets planned against them, and which internal users consume seats. Finance and IT use it to track planned vs. expected spend, allocate costs to departments, detect unused licenses, and manage upcoming renewals.
