Case Study: University of Gothenburg’s Matix improves cost control with Substly

Matix got a clear overview and improved cost control

The University of Gothenburg's Matix unit faced a challenge gaining control over its numerous SaaS and subscription-based services. Managing user access for students, employees, and consultants was difficult, and the organization lacked a clear overview of its total spending, which had grown significantly over time. Director Robert Orbelin sought a solution to this problem and turned to the vendor Substly for its subscription management service.

By implementing Substly, the team uploaded financial data to immediately discover all active subscriptions and their costs. The platform provided crucial oversight, particularly through its user management and off-boarding features for graduating students. Substly's alert system prevented paying for forgotten subscriptions. This solution delivered a clear overview that resulted in improved cost control, saved money, and provided the director with a significant sense of relief.
