The Challenge

Reducing software costs isn’t as simple as cutting a few tools. It meant understanding what the company was paying for, who was actually using it, and where money was being spent on subscriptions that weren’t needed.

Our talent made it her job to find out, keeping a close eye on monthly spending and pinpointing where costs could be trimmed.

How Our Talent Delivered

She started with a full audit of the company’s software subscriptions and analyzed alternative options worth switching to. Then she went through the list of users one by one, reaching out to each person to confirm whether they still needed their subscription. For anyone who wasn’t actively using theirs, she drafted cancellation emails to make ending it quick and easy.

She also teamed up with the data team to build a system that flagged individual subscription charges for tools the company already covered under a team plan. From there, she helped those employees move onto the team plan and cancel their individual subscriptions where needed.

The result: monthly software costs dropped from $157,000 to $125,000. Over a full year, those savings could exceed $384,000.

What This Means for Your Business

None of these savings came from one big decision.

They came from someone willing to look closely, ask the right questions, and follow through on every detail. That kind of persistence is rare, and it’s exactly what we look for when we match talent with our clients.
