How It Works

From software chaos to full licence compliance.

A structured process that gets your licence position clear and keeps it that way.

01

Software Discovery

Automated scan identifies every application installed across all devices in your estate, including cloud and SaaS tools.

02

Entitlement Mapping

Your licence agreements and entitlements are loaded and matched against installed software to identify gaps and surplus.

03

Compliance Report

You receive a clear compliance report showing your position for every application, with risk-rated findings and recommended actions.

04

Optimisation Plan

We identify licences you can remove to save money and applications where you need additional entitlement to stay compliant.

05

Ongoing Monitoring

The licence register updates automatically as software is installed or removed and as staff numbers change.

06

Renewal Management

Renewal alerts are triggered 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry so you always have time to review and act.
