Hi Product Hunt 👋 After working with companies managing and improving their productivity and workflows, we realized how much money is lost due to underused licenses or overlapping tools. So today we’re excited to introduce our latest feature - SaaS tool insights. It’s designed to give you and your company instant insights into your organization’s SaaS usage, helping reduce costs and streamline operations. 🔍 What’s in it for you? - Get a complete overview of the SaaS tools you’re using and how they compare to your team’s usage. - Identify tools your teammates are already using that could make your workday easier or more efficient. - Easily request access to new tools and ensure your setup is always up-to-date. - Share insights or tips about tools you love so everyone can get the most out of them. 🚀 If you are the Google Workspace admin, you can sign in directly to get an instant overview of your entire company’s SaaS usage. Not an admin? No worries - share the link with your admin or send them an invite, and they can get started in just a few clicks. 💸 How much is the fish? The product is completely free to use. We only start charging when want to add SaaS spend analytics and cost reduction recommendations. Reach out to Jana if you want to chat about that jana@usebeams.com. 💡 How it fits into the bigger picture This launch is part of our broader vision at beams: creating a world of Work Intelligence, where individuals, teams, and companies can deeply understand and manage their productivity, workflows, and tools. We believe that by shedding light on how tools are used (or underused), we can help companies reduce costs, eliminate redundancy, and create better work environments for everyone. We’d love for you to check it out, share your thoughts, and let us know how we can make it even better! Your feedback means the world to us. 👉 Give it a try and let us know what you think!

@jana_schellong 🎉 Congratulations on launching Beams' new SaaS tool insights feature! I’m curious: how detailed are the insights you can get as an individual user?
Mihri Minaz
@chen_artisk currently on individual level it is visits, duration and activity timestamp. what else would you like to see there?

💡 Bright idea
Congrats on the launch, @jana_schellong @mihriminaz @saparatus @ekinndev @oyametin . The idea (tracking underused licenses and overlapping tools) is smart. I've seen how much that can eat into budgets. Quick question: how does your system handle tools that have different usage patterns across teams? Does it adapt or just flag them for review?
Mihri Minaz
@ashitvora thanks for the feedback! just to clear out that I understand the question right: do you mean different users using different features of the same tool (like some uses for project management feature for Miro, some uses whiteboard collaboration) or different users using same tool in different ways (within workflows) ?

Wow Jana! It's truly amazing. It's something I never thought but it's also true. Comparing tools and workflow can help us to optimize and potentiate our growth. Thanks for helping con that

Big win Beams team! Solves one of the biggest problems I had when managing the tool stack for my past team. Would've saved us thousands.
Mihri Minaz
@tristan_lim1 asking individuals to report the tools they use and the whole excel madness. I feel you! 🥹
Mayank Mishra
Can we integrate AI agents as well?
Mihri Minaz
@mishra_mayank we are working on a GPT now. 🤫 for which automations/actions would you use AI Agents?
Bon
You made what I had in mind! Congrats on the launch!
Jana Schellong

Congrats on the launch! 🎉 This looks like a handy tool for keeping track of all those SaaS apps. What's one feature you're most excited for users to discover?
Mihri Minaz
@ihuzaifashoukat great question, we are not only listing the tools but generating deep tool usage insights (last activity and further details) 💜

💡 Bright idea
this is getting out of hand with the saas. i hope chatgpt becomes so advanced that renders all the saas redundant.
Mihri Minaz
@maxcompe it is possible to ask chatgpt to compare tools and get a recommendation (might hallucinate, yeah) but to track and know the deep tool usage insights of an individual, prompting is not enough. we're envisioning a combination of personalized and general knowledge here.
