We have all been there. You are looking at the monthly bill for a SaaS tool and you see 50 active seats. Then you look at your team roster and realize you only have 42 employees.
Where are those other 8 seats going? Are they assigned to former employees? Are they “test” accounts that were never deleted? Or are they just ghosts in the machine eating your budget every single month?
Managing hardware is a physical battle. Managing software licenses is a war of data. As we move closer to the full launch of Flottix, I am excited to introduce v0.7, our Software Asset Management (SAM) engine.
Stop the “License Leak”
The goal for v0.7 was simple: give IT managers a bird’s eye view of their software spend without making them open a single spreadsheet.
In the new License View, you don’t just see a list. You see Seat Allocation in real time. Our progress bars show you exactly how much of your capacity is being used versus what is sitting idle. If you have 179 available seats of Adobe Creative Cloud, you know exactly where to cut costs before the next renewal.
Audit-Ready Seat Assignments
When an auditor knocks on the door or a department head asks why the “Software” line item is so high, you need answers fast.
Each license in Flottix now has a dedicated DNA page. You can see the Purchase Date, the Expiration Date, and most importantly, an immutable list of exactly who is using every single seat.
The Frictionless Checkout
Just like our hardware flow, we made license assignment lightning fast. Whether you are onboarding a new hire or moving a license from one dev to another, the process takes seconds.
You select the user, hit “Checkout,” and the seat count updates across the entire platform. No more “I think we have a spare key somewhere.” You know exactly what you have.
Security and Compliance in your DNA
Coming from a security background, I know that an unmanaged license is a shadow IT risk. If you don’t know who has access to your 1Password Business seats or your AWS consoles, you don’t have a secure perimeter.
Flottix v0.7 ensures that every piece of software is tied to a person or an asset. When someone leaves the company, their “Assigned Seats” show up immediately in the offboarding checklist. No more orphaned accounts.
Why Managed SAM Matters
Most people try to track this in Excel or a self-hosted wiki. But when your wiki goes down or your spreadsheet gets a “Read-Only” lock, your data stops being useful.
Because Flottix is a Fully Managed Platform, your license data is always live, always backed up, and always secure. We handle the infrastructure. You handle the strategy and the budget.
Ready to kill the ghosts?
Version 0.7 is a huge milestone for us. We are moving beyond just “tracking boxes” and starting to manage the entire ecosystem of your IT department.
I want you to see how easy it is to reclaim your budget.
