About

Zylo is an AI-powered SaaS management platform purpose-built for enterprise IT, Procurement, Software Asset Management (SAM), and FinOps teams. Its AI engine, trained on over $75 billion in SaaS invoice data, continuously discovers and categorizes every application in use across your organization—including shadow IT—so nothing slips through the cracks. The platform operates across three core solution areas: SaaS Discovery and Inventory, License Management, and Renewal and Spend Management. It automatically surfaces unused licenses, redundant tools, and wasteful spend, enabling teams to reclaim budget with confidence. License optimization features track entitlements, adoption, and utilization in real time, while renewal management tools ensure no contract sneaks up on you—backed by benchmark pricing data to help negotiate better deals. Zylo also addresses SaaS security and governance, identifying risk-laden blind spots that could expose the organization to compliance or security issues. With a library of 10,000+ categorized applications and integrations with existing financial and IT systems, Zylo creates a unified system of record for all software. Recognized as a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for SaaS Management Platforms for multiple consecutive years and named a Customers' Choice in Gartner Peer Insights, Zylo serves the world's largest and most innovative enterprises—delivering an average 6X return on investment.
