Permission set licences are where
the Salesforce bill hides.
CerteroX shows which Salesforce licences and add-ons are actually used, so your renewal is based on today’s usage rather than last year’s number.
CerteroX SaaS Management can handle that for you.

Renewal
days-to-renewal with utilisation rate
The Salesforce overspend sits below the seat count.
Everyone watches the number of Salesforce seats. The overspend sits in add-on licences that are assigned quickly and almost never removed, and in seats still held by people who have left. CerteroX compares every licence with who actually signs in.
- Cost
Renew on real usage.
Unused seats and add-on licences are identified before the renewal, so you negotiate from a figure you can prove.
- Risk
Leavers release their licences.
Seats held by former staff are found and freed, so you stop paying for them and they stop holding access.
- Effort
Savings without a hard negotiation.
The savings come from knowing what is unused, before the vendor’s renewal quote arrives.
Two of the five disciplines.
Each runs standalone and shares one asset model, so the parts of this that span products need no integration work.
