Zylo
Enterprise SaaS management platform that discovers shadow IT, tracks licence utilisation, and provides optimisation recommendations across your entire software portfolio.
Overview
Zylo is a SaaS management platform purpose-built for IT and finance teams managing large software estates. It connects to SSO providers, expense systems, and contract repositories to build a continuously updated inventory of every application in use across the organisation.
The platform's discovery engine identifies shadow IT — applications purchased outside of formal procurement channels — and surfaces licence utilisation data so teams can right-size subscriptions before renewal. Zylo's benchmarking database draws on anonymised spend data across its customer base to help procurement teams negotiate better terms.
Zylo serves mid-market and enterprise organisations, typically those managing 200+ SaaS applications. It fits teams that need a system of record for SaaS alongside actionable optimisation insights, rather than a lightweight tracker.

Who Should Use Zylo
IT asset managers and finance leaders at organisations with 200+ SaaS applications who need a centralised system of record for software spend. Zylo is strongest when you have distributed purchasing across departments and need to consolidate visibility before renewals.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Smaller teams managing fewer than 50 applications are unlikely to get enough value from Zylo's enterprise-oriented feature set. If your primary need is contract storage or renewal reminders rather than full portfolio optimisation, a lighter-weight tool may be more appropriate.
