Case Study: Podium achieves scalable vendor management and SaaS cost savings with Blissfully

Podium Scales Up Their Vendor Management

Podium, a 700-employee company that builds cloud software for customer interactions and reputation management, was growing fast and had an increasingly chaotic SaaS environment—tools were being purchased or abandoned without IT or Procurement oversight. To gain control of vendor sprawl and standardize processes, Podium’s procurement team implemented Blissfully’s SaaS management platform, including its built-in workflows.

Using Blissfully, Podium established clear, repeatable workflows for vendor approvals, onboarding, renewals, and terminations, improved visibility into subscriptions, and identified and eliminated duplicate or unapproved apps for ongoing cost savings. Blissfully also serves as a compliance system of record for Podium’s SOC 2 audits, giving the team advance notice for renewals, more time to negotiate contracts, and smoother, output-based vendor management.
