Launching Vendor Utilization: Know Exactly Who's Using Every App in Your Organization

Every software buyer knows the feeling: you're staring at a vendor renewal quote, and you have no idea whether the 200 seats on the contract are being used by 200 people, or 40.

Vendor Utilization gives you visibility.

We built utilization to answer the questions you ask during renewals, headcount changes, and cost review cycles. Connect via Google Workspace and we’ll manage the rest.

1. Where is utilization low and can I cut seats or cancel the vendor?
   Click into any managed vendor and see a count of active users and how user activity is trending month over month.
2. Which vendors are we using that aren't being managed?
   The new Discovered tab shows apps your team is using that are not in your vendor list. Stackpack also shows when these apps were first used and most recently used across your organization.
3. Where is utilization high and I need to negotiate more seats?
   You can now see increased user-count and usage, so you know when to negotiate for more seats. Stackpack gives you insight into the best ways to approach renewal negotiation.
4. Does the seat count and spend of this vendor reflect the value it delivers?
   With all of the new data available, assess vendor ROI based on spend, seat count, and actual usage.

Vendor Utilization is rolling out to all Stackpack customers in the Standard plan. If you are not on the Standard plan (previously Requests & Approvals) yet and want access to Vendor Utilization, email us to get set up or set up some time to connect.
