Zylo

About Zylo

SSO logs tell you which apps employees sign into; the general ledger tells you what the business actually bought. Zylo reads the ledger. Its proprietary ML models parse ERP, accounts payable, and expense platforms, which is how purchases that never touched IT get surfaced — customers reportedly discover roughly 3x more SaaS spend than they could find on their own. The dataset behind those models is the moat: over $2 trillion in business spend processed, $75B+ in SaaS and cloud spend categorized, 40M+ licenses normalized and tracked. That is enterprise-scale plumbing, and the customer roster matches — Global 2000 names including Atlassian, Intuit, Salesforce, Adobe, and Netflix.

Discovery is the front door; the rest of the platform is about acting on what it finds. License and usage monitoring extends to consumption-based AI cost tracking. Renewal management takes the 476 renewals the average customer faces in a year and ranks them by savings impact, so teams work the list from the top down. Price benchmarking draws on the categorized spend pool, Zylo Clarity AI recommends the next cost-saving action, and a SaaS Negotiator managed service will handle vendor negotiations outright. The company has been at this since 2016 — founded by ExactTarget and Salesforce alumni Eric Christopher, Cory Wheeler, and Ben Pippenger, incubated at High Alpha, headquartered in Indianapolis, and funded past $67.5 million including a $31.5M Series C led by Baird Capital in November 2022. Go in with a budget: pricing is quote-only, one published estimate lands the base platform fee at $35,000-$45,000 per year, and ROI is generally cited at 500+ employees.
