Case Study: Drawbridge achieves acquisition readiness and SaaS cost control with Cleanshelf

Drawbridge - Customer Case Study

Drawbridge CFO Matt Gallatin faced fragmented, unmanaged SaaS spend and usage as the company scaled, so he turned to Cleanshelf’s SaaS management platform to get visibility and control. As a longtime Cleanshelf customer, he needed a way to track what the company owned, see license utilization in real time, and move from manual invoice reviews to a single source of truth for software spend and contracts.

Cleanshelf organized Drawbridge’s subscriptions and contracts, surfaced unused licenses (prompting conversations about program efficacy), and provided real‑time license and spend data that enabled fact‑based decisions. During the LinkedIn acquisition, Cleanshelf gave Drawbridge credibility with acquirers, sped due diligence by making material agreements instantly accessible, and clarified which tools could be wound down or kept—smoothing the transaction and reducing integration uncertainty.
