SaaS has become the cornerstone of operating successful businesses. Subscriptions to various tools are needed across all company functions, as they are crucial for boosting operational efficiency, cost-saving opportunities, and scalability. Additionally, subscriptions offer ease of adoption and a simple, predictable payment process. Despite their importance and ease of access, finding and managing the right SaaS tools for your unique business needs remains a challenge.
The Problem with Subscription Sprawl
Businesses lose track of their subscription payments over time: there are duplicate subscriptions, unused ones, free trials that unintentionally become paid subscriptions, employees leaving the company without their subscriptions being canceled, and more. Additionally, vendors sometimes make it easy to subscribe, but hard to cancel.
These pain points tend to be the root causes of subscription sprawl. Although subscriptions make our lives easier, we’re simply too busy to keep track of the ones that no longer work for us. Oftentimes, businesses continue to accumulate subscriptions without a clear understanding of the app’s usefulness, and no log of which ones continue to be paid for. The time and money lost to the ‘sprawl’ can outweigh the cost and process efficiency gained through SaaS subscriptions.
Manage All of Your SaaS Subscriptions in One Place
Businesses need an efficient mechanism to allow employees to subscribe to SaaS products they need, without creating bureaucracy and bottle-necks. Platform solutions can offer these benefits. A powerful example of this is Formstack’s workplace productivity platform, which offers a suite of tools that can be accessed and controlled in one place. Having one hub for productivity tools makes these subscriptions easier to manage, and gives teams a single reference point for all relevant tools. SaaS marketplaces aim to deliver this experience at a larger scale, offering a variety of products that can be accessed within one ecosystem. The marketplace model brings a wide range of offerings into our immediate field of view and often provides a degree of comparative analysis that catalyzes our decision-making process.

While the marketplace model is effective, it doesn’t entirely solve the problem of subscription sprawl. The key is to have a company-wide system that provides the right balance between centralized control and speed of execution by individual employees.
