“CloudEagle's renewal workflows made it easier to track renewals. I no longer chase others for status updates on their tasks; instead, we're doing more productive work, leading to savings.
- Sophie Wang, Director of Finance, Wefunder
Wefunder lacked a centralized system for SaaS contract management, leading to auto-renewals, missed renewal dates, and unnecessary expenses. Manual tracking via spreadsheets hindered their ability to switch to cost-effective platforms in a timely manner.

Wefunder resolved auto-renewal issues with CloudEagle's expertise, enabling them to switch to a cost-effective vendor and save on SaaS expenses.
We encountered difficulties due to the absence of a centralized system for storing and tracking our SaaS contracts. Without clear visibility into renewal dates for various vendors, our contracts were often auto-renewed unintentionally.
Renewing SaaS applications on time became a significant challenge for our team, as we relied on decentralized and manual tracking methods like spreadsheets.
Due to the lack of an automated reminder system, we missed the renewals and could not switch to another platform. As a result, we had to continue using the same application until the next renewal window.
Consequently, we were stuck using the same application until the next renewal window. Our primary concern was the unnecessary SaaS costs incurred due to these auto-renewals.
“We made the right choice with CloudEagle. CloudEagle provides timely reminders and initiates renewal workflows 90 days in advance, giving Wefunder’s team enough time to make informed decisions on renewals, resulting in total savings and improving ROI.”
