How to stop paying for software nobody uses

Most businesses are sitting on 3-5 subscriptions nobody logs into. Here's how to find them.

We did a software audit for a 40-person company last month. They were paying for two project management tools, a CRM nobody opened since 2024, and a backup service that duplicated what their cloud provider already included. Over $14,000 a year, gone. If you want tooling to track licenses and usage, we do that under software development and managed IT.

The fix wasn't complicated. We pulled license counts, checked last-login dates, and sat down with department leads for 30 minutes each. Within a week they had a clear list of what to cut, what to consolidate, and what actually needed to stay.

If you haven't looked at your SaaS stack in the last six months, you're probably overspending. It doesn't take a big project — just someone willing to pull the data and ask the uncomfortable questions.

What to do next

  • Audit your current workflow and list the top three blockers.
  • Set a clear owner for rollout, support, and user training.
  • Start with one room/site/team, then standardize across locations.
