The problem it solves
Every day, SMBs and independent contractors waste time and money on tasks that technology can automate. Those 15 subscriptions nobody knows who's actually using — that's exactly what this solution is designed to fix. Time spent on these tasks is time not invested in business development, customer relationships, or innovation.
The solution: Najar, Welii, or manual audit with an AI agent
Cost: 30-80 EUR/month or one-time fee Replaces: Those 15 subscriptions nobody knows who's actually using Estimated savings: 200-800 EUR/month (eliminating duplicates + unused licenses)Najar is one of the most accessible tools in this category. It's up and running within a few hours, requires no advanced technical skills, and the return on investment is visible from the very first month.
How it works
The tool integrates with your existing stack (email, calendar, CRM, accounting software) and automates repetitive tasks. The AI learns from your usage patterns and improves over time. You stay in control of key decisions — the AI handles the rest.
Key benefits
- 24/7 availability: the tool keeps working even when you're out on a job or enjoying your weekend
- Zero data-entry errors: machines don't make mistakes with numbers and dates
- Scalability: volume can triple with no significant added cost
- Full traceability: everything is logged and instantly retrievable
Real-world case: 30-person SMB
A 30-person SMB was paying 2,800 EUR/month across 22 SaaS subscriptions. An AI audit uncovered: 3 video conferencing tools (Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet — keep Teams, cancel the other two), 8 unused Slack licenses (from employees who had left), a CRM and an Airtable spreadsheet doing the same job, and a project management tool nobody had touched in 6 months. Immediate savings: 650 EUR/month, or 7,800 EUR/year.
How to implement this solution
Step 1: Diagnosis (1 day)
Assess how much time you currently spend on this task. Track your hours over a typical week. Multiply by your fully-loaded hourly rate. That's your baseline cost.Step 2: Free trial (1-2 weeks)
Most tools offer a 14-day free trial. Test on a limited scope with no risk. Compare results against your current process.Step 3: Rollout (1-2 weeks)
If the trial is successful, deploy the solution across your entire team. Train users — this typically takes no more than 1-2 hours.Step 4: Measure ROI (months 1-3)
Track real gains against your baseline cost. Adjust settings as needed. As a rule, ROI is visible by the end of the first full month.Alternatives and comparison
Several solutions exist in this category: Najar, Welii, or a manual audit using an AI agent. The right choice depends on your company size, budget, and existing tech stack. For SMBs with fewer than 20 employees, the simplest solution is often the best — team adoption matters more than advanced features.
