IT Manager / head of ops
Half your stack was bought without you. You're still responsible for all of it
You're responsible for the security, compliance, and efficiency of every tool in the stack. The problem is nobody tells you about half of them. Employees buy software independently, you find out only when there is an issue - like a breach.

AppVentory gives you complete visibility of every tool in the stack and the control to manage it properly
Every unapproved tool found, scored, and flagged automatically
Full license utilisation tracked across every seat, every tool, every day
Vendor compliance checked across the entire stack without manual auditing
How many tools are running in your stack right now that you didn't approve?
Most IT teams can't answer that question. AppVentory can - and flags every single one automatically.
Why shadow IT is IT's biggest unsolved problem
It's not that employees are malicious. It's that the process for buying software is broken.
01
Tools get bought without IT knowing.
A team lead signs up for a new tool, expenses it, and starts using it. IT finds out months later - if at all. By then the data is in, the workflow depends on it, and removing it cleanly is a project in itself.
02
Approved tools create unapproved sprawl.
A tool gets approved for one team and ends up being used by five. Licenses multiply. Costs compound. And IT is the last to know any of it happened.
03
Compliance is impossible to maintain manually.
Checking every vendor against compliance requirements across a stack of 50, 100, or 200 tools isn't a process - it's a full-time job. Most teams don't have the headcount for it, so it doesn't get done.
What AppVentory does for IT & tech managers specifically
You don't have a security problem. You have a visibility problem. AppVentory connects securely to your accounting data and SSO provider - giving you a complete picture of every tool in your stack, who's using it, and whether it should be there at all.
Get started
App discovery agent
Every unapproved tool, found before it becomes a problem. Scans accounting data for unrecognised software payments in real time. Cross-references every payment against the known app list. Anything not in SSO or formally approved gets flagged immediately.
Teams using AppVentory recover an average of 30-80% of their software spend in year one.
AppVentory gives us confidence and control over software spend. We can clearly see which apps are being used, what they cost, and where we’re wasting money.
