Why Software Stacks spiral out of control

You are paying for tools nobody is using.

Teams request new software while identical tools sit unused. Renewals auto-charge without anyone checking if the spend is justified.

Vendors own your renewal process.

You negotiate from weakness because you don't know market rates or have usage data. Every "discount" still feels expensive.

You Teams wastes time on tools.

They're stuck with software that doesn't integrate, can't find what they need, and spend meetings complaining about their workflow instead of building.

The Stack Bootcamp: Your plan in 14 days

€6–10k · ~3–4h team time · No system logins · 6 months Platform included

Most companies still manage their software stack with spreadsheets and gut feelings. For something costing hundreds of thousands a year, that’s insane. I've been there.

The Bootcamp gives you quick, actionable insights and a clear path forward. We combine data from 12,000+ vendors with a hands-on workshop to align your team. You walk away with clarity and a plan — not another slide deck.

Map & Benchmark

We map every tool, owner, cost, and renewal date. Then we benchmark it against peer stacks. You'll see overlaps, underused licenses, and blind spots you didn't know existed.

  • Import from spreadsheets, invoices, and IT systems to capture every tool, owner, and renewal date
  • Benchmark your stack composition against peer companies to identify common patterns and gaps
  • Surface shadow IT and license waste by matching actual usage to seat counts

Interviews & Surveys

We validate findings with your actual users, surface real pain points, and agree on priorities. Data tells you what's broken; your team tells you what matters most.

  • Interview department heads to understand which tools teams would abandon tomorrow vs. fight to keep
  • Survey end users to rate satisfaction and identify workflow bottlenecks that waste time daily

Optimization Plan

You walk away with a prioritized plan: where to cut, where to consolidate, where to invest. It also includes renewal briefings with benchmarks and talking points for upcoming negotiations.

  • Identify optimization opportunities: overlaps to consolidate, misfit tools to replace, unused licenses to cut
  • Prepare renewal briefings with negotiation talking points and alternative options when contracts underperform
  • Fill blank spots by identifying missing software or better alternatives to current tools

Execute (included)

We don't need logins or deep system access. You control the data we use, via surveys, interviews, and the docs you provide.

  • Track every renewal deadline so you never get surprised by auto-renewals at vendor rates again
  • Maintain living inventory that combines shifting team sentiment with market intelligence to surface optimization opportunities

Execute your roadmap with ongoing platform intelligence

The bootcamp creates your plan. The platform becomes your intelligence layer - helping you execute systematically while keeping your stack lean and AI-ready.

  • Renewal Intelligence: Never get caught off guard again. Track every deadline, get market benchmarks, and prepare negotiation briefs months in advance.
  • Continuous Optimization: Spot new overlaps and opportunities as you grow. See when tools become redundant or when better alternatives emerge.
  • Selection Support: When you need new tools, get shortlists and vendor comparisons based on your actual requirements and constraints.
