The challenge

Renewal runs on the purchase record, not on use

Purchasing knows what was bought. Nothing on the other side of that record says what anyone opened, so the renewal gets approved on the same assumption that justified the original purchase.

The solution

Renew against what was used, not what was bought

Every application and website is ranked by the time your teams spend in it. Set that against your license list and the seats nobody opened come back named, with a date on each.

A date, not an assumption

Every seat comes back with the last date somebody opened it, which is the number a renewal argument has never had.

Read from the machine

Usage comes off the desktop application as the work happens, not from each vendor's own report, so one ranking covers the whole stack instead of one product at a time.

You bring the license list

Insightful reads what was opened. Matching it to what was bought needs your list, because the procurement system is not something it reads.

Unopened is not cancelable

A seat nobody opened may still belong to somebody mid-project, which is why the ranking names the teams before you cut it.

Connected to your work

Price the renewal on what people opened

A ranking tells you what is open. Add the seats it prices, the tools nobody expensed, the AI line kept on its own and the cost per unit behind a consolidation, and the renewal stops being an argument about who shouts loudest.

IT Spend

Seats bought set against seats opened, with a last-opened date on every line before the invoice is approved.

Shadow IT

Applications nobody expensed, surfaced from the same ranking, so an unapproved tool is named before it renews.

AI Adoption

Which teams turned paid AI seats into daily use, and which seats sit idle, judged the same way as the rest of the stack.

AI Spend

What the AI line costs against who is opening it, kept as its own decision rather than buried in the software renewal.

Productivity Trends

Whether time in a tool is productive time for that team, since a heavily used tool is not automatically a valuable one.

Operational Efficiency

The same usage data priced as cost per unit, which is how a consolidation survives the team that asked for the tool.

Compliance and security

Which application was open, never what was in it

Usage is time in an application or on a site. Page content, form contents and anything typed are not captured, and neither are keystrokes. What gets collected is agreed before deployment rather than discovered after.

Encryption and residency icon
Metadata, not content
Which applications and sites were open and for how long. No page content, no form contents, no keystrokes, no audio and no video.
A record no user can alter icon
Collection scope, set first
Capture switches off per application, per team or per person, and reporting can be held at team level. All of it settled before anyone installs anything.

Integrations

No connector needed to see the whole stack

50+ integrations across the platform, and this ranking needs none of them. Usage comes off the desktop application, so a tool nobody registered appears without anyone connecting it first.

FAQ

How do I know which tools my team is using?

Insightful ranks every application and website by the time your teams spend in it, by team and by person, and flags applications it has not seen before on the day they appear. Compare that against your license list to find what is paid for and unopened. The license list is the part you bring: Insightful reads the endpoint, not your procurement system. Drill into any tool to see which teams drive its usage, so a license can be reallocated rather than canceled.

Will this find applications nobody approved?

Yes, as a usage finding rather than a policy verdict. An application nobody has registered is flagged the day it is first opened and ranked next to everything that came through procurement, AI tools included. Whether it belongs there is your call, and Shadow IT carries that argument in full.

How is this different from vendor usage reports or application logs?

A vendor's own report covers that vendor's product and nothing else, and application logs cover whatever somebody instrumented. This ranks every application and site in use side by side, including the tools nobody registered, from one source. It reports time spent in a tool, not what was done inside it.

What does this capture about the applications and sites an employee uses?

Which applications and sites were open and for how long. Page content, form contents and anything typed into a site are not captured, and neither are keystrokes. Reporting can be held at team level, and capture can be switched off per application, per team or per person before anything is deployed.

How does this change a renewal conversation?

It produces the two numbers a renewal argument needs: the license count, and how many of those seats were opened in the period. TRG cut tool costs 56% and raised productivity 76% from a usage baseline of this kind. An unopened seat is not automatically a cancelable one, which is why the drill-down names the teams still on the tool.

Does this show what each of these tools costs?

No. Insightful reports which applications were opened and for how long. The cost side comes from your contracts, and the renewal argument is built by setting one against the other rather than by reading a price out of the report.

What is SaaS spend management?

SaaS spend management is matching software licenses against real use, so renewals, consolidations and cancellations rest on evidence. The contract half of that usually sits in procurement already. The usage half has to come off the endpoint, which is why a purchase record on its own cannot produce it.

Check the seat count before the invoice does

Two weeks of usage data puts a last-opened date against every tool in the stack, including the ones nobody registered, before the next renewal is approved.
