Most companies cannot say what their software actually costs them.
Not because the data is missing, but because it lives in a dozen places and none of them agree. We work with SAM, ITAM, and procurement teams to build the real picture, and to make it hold up when somebody pushes back.
We start by understanding your situation, not by installing anything.
Every engagement starts with a conversation about what is actually happening. What is renewing, what is moving, who owns which decisions, and how much change the organization can absorb while still doing its day job. A fair amount of what surfaces turns out not to be a software problem at all. A tool everyone complains about that three critical workflows quietly depend on is a change management question, and treating it as a licensing decision is how consolidations end up reversed.
What we bring is the analysis that is genuinely hard to do by hand. Working out which tools overlap, as distinct from which ones sound similar, means understanding what each one is doing inside your business and what has attached itself to it over the years. Laying renewal dates, notice periods, and true-up cycles against whatever timeline you are working to is not complicated in principle, but doing it across a full estate is more work than most teams have spare capacity for. There is no IT project to stand up, and the first useful output lands in days.
The situations we get called into
A migration is coming
You are replacing a platform, and the contracts underneath it do not move on the same schedule as the project.
Two stacks just became one
An acquisition or a portfolio consolidation left you with two of everything, on two different renewal calendars.
managing software across multiple entitiesA renewal nobody saw coming
The notice window closed before anyone looked at whether the tool was still worth paying for.
SaaS renewal managementA true-up landed
Consumption drifted past what was contracted, and the reconciliation arrived as an invoice rather than a conversation.
software license true-upsThe CFO is asking what AI can replace
It is a fair question, and most teams cannot answer it because they do not have the underlying visibility yet.

Multi-entity consolidation
One consolidated view of technology spend across every entity you own.
For organizations that have grown through acquisition or run many operating companies, applications, contracts, and spend are fragmented across entities with no single view. StackIQ brings them together into one portfolio you can see and manage as a whole.
Portfolio roll-up
Map applications by operating company and roll spend and renewals up to the parent, so you can see the whole portfolio at once or drill into any single entity.
Cross-entity redundancy
Surface duplicate and overlapping applications and contracts across entities, the ones that look reasonable on their own but are clear waste when you see them side by side.
Consolidated renewals
One renewal calendar across every entity, so renewals are managed proactively from a single view instead of reactively, one operating company at a time.
Business context, not naive dedup
Each overlap is flagged as either genuine redundancy or a legitimate reason to run both, such as a tool required for a specific region or regulatory need, so consolidation decisions hold up.
Integrations
Integrates with the tools you already use
StackIQ connects to the systems where your software, spend, identity, and contracts already live. Read-only, with nothing moved out of your environment.

Already evaluating?
If you are comparing StackIQ to your current asset management tool, we wrote one page for each.
Most tools in this space are built for the enterprise and price out the mid-market. Each page below is a head-to-head with the relevant feature differences, the migration path, and a candid take on where the incumbent is still strong.
StackIQ vs. Productiv
If your Productiv API connectors are getting less reliable as vendors pull access, you are not alone. We rebuilt the connector layer to degrade gracefully, not catastrophically.
Read the comparison →StackIQ vs. Flexera
Flexera is enterprise-grade, enterprise-priced, and 8 to 12 weeks to implement. We deliver value in 14 days at mid-market pricing. A breakdown of where each fits.
Read the comparison →StackIQ vs. Snow Software
Snow's strength is on-prem license compliance. Ours is cloud and AI portfolio intelligence. The honest pros and cons of each, and when to run both.
Read the comparison →StackIQ vs. ServiceNow SAM Pro
SAM Pro lives inside ServiceNow's broader platform play. StackIQ stands alone. When that matters, and when you should just buy the bigger platform.
Read the comparison →StackIQ vs. Vendr
Vendr runs your negotiations as a managed service. StackIQ is self-serve spend intelligence your own team owns, so you keep the vendor relationship and the leverage.
Read the comparison →StackIQ vs. Zylo
Zylo is built around broad app discovery. StackIQ is built around renewal and overlap intelligence, for teams from mid-market to enterprise.
