A SaaS subscription workspace for IT, finance, and procurement teams tracking every SaaS tool the org pays for — known and unknown — in Taskade.
What's Included
- Subscription Database: Tool, vendor, owner, seats, cost, renewal, payment method, contract terms
- Shadow-IT Agent: AI agent cross-checks SSO sign-ins, expense reports, and DNS to find unsanctioned tools
- Usage Signals: Last-login, monthly active users from SSO and the tool's API where available
- Owner Attestation: Quarterly automated check-in to each owner asking "still needed?"
- Consolidation Recommendations: Tools by category with overlap flags
- Cost Dashboard: Table view of total SaaS spend, by team, by category
Why This Template Wins
- Shadow IT becomes visible: Agent surfaces tools the IT team didn't know existed — typical 30-50% more tools than known
- Owners actually attest: Quarterly automated check-in beats the annual spreadsheet that nobody fills out
- Consolidation grounded in data: "We have three diagram tools" — visible, with cost — actionable
How to Use

Can the agent forecast next-year SaaS budget?
