Stop paying for empty seats. Buy the rest at list price.
The free SaaS Auditor finds the waste: dormant seats, over-provisioned SKUs, shadow tools and renewals nobody owns. Then licensing consolidates onto one EUR invoice through the Pax8 marketplace, at vendor list price. Our margin is the wholesale discount, never a markup on you.
The €1,500/mo figure is founder casework at a regulated Maltese operator (~100 staff): dead licences reclaimed by offboarding automation. The full story is on the IT Onboarding & Offboarding page.
You are overpaying for software you do not fully use.
E5 licences on accounts that only use email. Dormant seats. Shadow SaaS on personal credit cards. The software bill grows every quarter and nobody can explain why.
Over-licensed and under-used
You are paying for E5 when E3 covers 90% of your needs. Dormant accounts still consume licences. Nobody has reviewed the assignment matrix since the initial deployment.
Billing sprawl, weak ownership
Direct Microsoft billing, legacy resellers and card-based SaaS purchases sit in different systems. Finance sees the spend, but nobody owns the licence lifecycle.
Shadow SaaS spending
Teams buy Notion, Figma, Linear, Vercel on corporate cards. Finance cannot reconcile the SaaS line items. Nobody owns the inventory. Offboarding never revokes all seats.
Find it. Price it. Then stop paying for it.
The SaaS Auditor reads licence assignments, sign-in activity, OAuth grants and your contract register, then prices every finding in euros per month. This is the shape of the output, on an illustrative 120-seat estate.
The licensing rule
“Anyone can buy E5 licences. The skill is knowing when E3 plus the right Intune policy is the better answer.”
The audit is free. Tenant Monitor keeps it true.
A one-off cleanup decays: seats go dormant again, someone buys another tool on a card, a contract auto-renews in silence. Tenant Monitor re-scans your estate on a schedule and raises a hand the moment the numbers drift.

Six artefacts you can act on without us.
Every artefact is specific enough to act on without us in the room. That is the point of it.
Savings map by SKU
Every finding priced in euros per month at list price: which licence, which user, which swap. Not a percentage estimate, a line-item list you can action on Monday.
Licence assignment matrix
Who holds what, mapped against actual sign-in and feature usage. The E5-to-E3 candidates surface themselves.
Shadow SaaS + OAuth inventory
Every third-party app connected to your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace identities, with risky scopes ranked and orphaned grants flagged.
Renewal calendar with owners
Every auto-renewing contract on one timeline, each with a named owner and a decision date 90 days ahead of the renewal, so nothing renews by accident again.
Consolidation plan
Which vendors move to the Pax8 route, in what order, and what happens to existing commitments. Written so your accountant can follow it.
CFO-ready report
The full estate in one PDF: score, waste lines, renewal exposure and the recommended sequence. Yours to keep whether or not you buy anything else.
Three tiers. No hourly billing.
Start with the free scan or the fixed-fee audit. Move licensing when the numbers make the case on their own.
SaaS Licence Audit
One week. You walk away with the savings map.
- Full Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace licence usage analysis
- Shadow SaaS inventory via OAuth grant scan
- Right-sizing recommendations with estimated savings in euros
- Renewal calendar built from your contract register
- Executive-ready report + 45-minute walkthrough
Outcome
You know the waste line by line, priced at list, before you change anything.
Managed CSP Billing
Microsoft licences through Pax8, with ITSailor accountable for the stack.
- Microsoft CSP Indirect Reseller route through Pax8
- You pay vendor list price; our margin is the Pax8 wholesale discount
- Flexible monthly-commit SKUs where Microsoft allows them
- Single EUR invoice, VAT-compliant
- Ongoing usage monitoring + quarterly optimisation report
Outcome
One invoice, one accountable operator, and licence hygiene that stays done.
SaaS Governance Retainer
We own the software inventory. You own the budget.
- SaaS inventory management and renewal calendar upkeep
- New app requests evaluated against your stack policy
- Offboarding licence revocation within 1 hour
- Quarterly spend review with a CFO-ready dashboard
- Shadow SaaS detection and remediation
Outcome
The software bill stops growing by default and starts needing a reason to.
The economics, in the open.
Most resale pitches hide the margin. Ours is the pitch.
You pay vendor list price
The same number Microsoft publishes. Buying through ITSailor never costs more than buying direct.
Our margin is the wholesale discount
Pax8 sells to us below list; that gap is the whole business model. No markup, no "management fee" hidden in the unit price.
Every licence transfers out
CSP subscriptions move to another partner or to direct billing whenever you choose. The Exit Kit documents the handover. That is the Sovereign Mastery rule.
Licences that can sit under SaaS Licensing Optimization.
ITSailor sells Microsoft and selected marketplace licences through Pax8 at vendor list price. Our margin is the Pax8 wholesale discount; service work is quoted or packaged separately.

Why should we buy Microsoft 365 through ITSailor instead of directly from Microsoft?
+
ITSailor is a Microsoft CSP Indirect Reseller through Pax8. You pay the vendor list price, get one EUR invoice, and get an operator who also handles licence hygiene, tenant posture and renewal discipline. Our margin is the wholesale discount, not a markup over list.
What does the free SaaS Auditor actually check?
+
Four discovery lenses across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace: licence assignments against real sign-in activity, shadow SaaS via OAuth grants, spend and contract data you provide, and identity hygiene (inactive, blocked, guest and shared accounts). It runs read-only, returns a scored Command report in minutes, and exports PDF and CSV. No signup for the scan itself.
What is Tenant Monitor?
+
The same auditor, kept running: scheduled re-scans, drift alerts, renewal warnings at 90, 30 and 7 days, Slack or Teams notifications and a monthly Command report. €149/month, or €119/month billed annually, charged from day one with a 30-day money-back guarantee, on self-serve Stripe checkout on the auditor page. Cancel from the billing portal whenever you like.
How much can we actually save?
+
Savings come from right-sizing, dormant account cleanup and shadow SaaS consolidation, not from pretending list price is discounted. The audit shows the specific swaps and removals, priced in euros per month, before you change anything.
What if the audit finds nothing?
+
Then you have written proof your estate is clean, the scan cost you nothing, and we will tell you plainly that the governance retainer is not worth buying yet. An audit that always finds savings is a sales tool, and this one is not.
Can you manage our Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 together?
+
Yes. We audit both platforms and manage the overlap. Microsoft licensing is the Pax8/CSP path today; Google resale stays quoted until the partner route is formally cleared.
Is there a minimum company size?
+
The SaaS Licence Audit is valuable from 20 seats up. CSP resale pricing becomes meaningful from 50 seats. The Governance Retainer is designed for 100+ seats or 15+ SaaS applications. Below those thresholds, we will tell you upfront if the engagement does not justify the fee.
Do prices include VAT?
+
No. Prices are net, in EUR, excl. VAT. VAT is calculated automatically at checkout based on your country and VAT ID. EU businesses outside Malta with a valid VAT ID are reverse-charged (0% at checkout, you account for VAT locally).
Find the empty seats before the renewal renews them.
The scan reads assignment and sign-in data from your own tenant and returns the seats nobody has used, the tools nobody approved and the renewals nobody owns.
