"In the first 3 months working with Sidelight, we found over $120K of unused licenses, paying for Sidelight many times over ."

Head of Data Services - Medium sized Commodities Brokerage

"In our first 60 days with Sidelight, we uncovered over $300,000 in unnecessary spend. Tools we hadn’t touched in months were quietly auto-renewing. The platform paid for itself instantly—and then some."

Chief Financial Officer, $5B AUM Asset Management Firm

"Sidelight gave us instant visibility across hundreds of contracts and subscriptions. What used to take weeks of manual reconciliation now takes minutes. Our ops team finally has a single source of truth."

Head of Operations, Global Investment Consultancy

"We finally have the data to make renewal decisions with confidence. Sidelight showed us which tools were driving value—and which ones were just burning budget. It’s changed the way we manage our entire vendor stack."
