The Problem
Software adoption follows a predictable lifecycle. New tools grow quickly as teams test them, learn how to use them and adopt them into their workflow. Over time, some become business critical. Others lose relevance as better solutions emerge or habits change.
Without visibility, it’s easy to keep paying for software that is no longer used. You can’t answer:
- Which tools are in active use and which are declining?
- How many paid users have stopped engaging?
- Where licenses can be reduced or reassigned?
- How much wasted spending could be recovered?
Unused licenses accumulate quietly across the organization, creating ongoing cost without value.
What if you could identify all of the apps that aren't being used?
Produce8 can help you identify and track applications that are in decline. Reclaim unused or underused licenses, reassign them where needed, and prevent renewal of tools that have reached the end of their lifecycle.
Sortable Summary Metrics
You can view app usage by users, average and total time spent, and interaction counts including change over the previous time period to help spot declining tools.
Trends That Provide Real Insights
View app usage over up to a year in daily, weekly and monthly time segments for users, interactions and time spent. Includes departmental usage trends.
Executive Summaries for Leaders
For the leaders that are just interested in the overview, leverage monthly summaries to report on most used apps and those that have grown or diminished the most in that time period.
Downloadable Data for Comparisons
All app metrics data can be saved as a csv to be distributed to managers to review against licensing entitlements or to support periodic audits.
How It Works
- Step 1 - Track Actual Usage
Produce8 records real activity across browsers and desktops to show how much time users spend in each application and how often they engage. - Step 2 - Spot Decline
See usage patterns that signal decline such as lower interaction frequency, shorter active sessions or shrinking unique user counts. - Step 3 - Reclaim and reallocate
Identify licenses that can be reduced, reassigned, or retired. Build ongoing workflows to monitor utilization and prevent waste.
What You'll Learn
Produce8 can support your efforts to identify and reduce wasted IT spending
- Tools showing consistent usage decline
- Software with low active user counts
- Zombie apps still being billed but rarely used
- License optimization opportunities across departments
Produce8 can help you save money on wasted IT spending by surfacing actual usage across all of the apps that you pay for that were intended for business users to engage with.
