How Porcia Works
From zero visibility to full control in a day.
Connect once. Porcia discovers your complete software stack, analyzes real usage, and flags savings opportunities as they appear.
The insight
Every tool your team adopts announces itself.
You don't need an integration with an app to know it exists. The moment someone signs up for a new tool, it starts leaving a trail — and that trail almost always runs through two systems you already control.
Your inbox
Welcome emails. Receipts. "Verify your account." Password resets. Invoices. Renewal notices. Every SaaS tool floods your team with machine-generated mail the moment it's adopted. Read those signals and you can reconstruct the entire stack — including apps that never went near IT.
Your identity provider
Every SSO login, every OAuth consent, every "sign in with Google" leaves a record in Azure AD, Google Workspace, or Okta. Porcia reads those records to map who's accessing what, how often, and with which permissions.
Porcia connects to both — read-only — and turns those everyday signals into a live map of your software stack. No agents on devices. No network proxies. No integration to build for every single app. The data was always there. Porcia just reads it.
Phase 1: Discovery
Your Agent Finds Everything
Porcia connects to your email and SSO provider and immediately starts mapping your software stack—including tools nobody told IT about.
Email Intelligence
Forward vendor emails to your Porcia inbox. Our AI automatically extracts:
- Vendor names and contact info
- Subscription costs and licenses
- Renewal dates and terms
- Price increases and changes
SSO Discovery
Connect your identity provider (Azure AD, Google, Okta) for instant discovery:
- All SSO-connected applications
- User-level access and activity
- Shadow IT and unapproved tools
- Login frequency and usage patterns
Complete discovery in 24 hours. Porcia combines both sources for comprehensive visibility into your stack.
Phase 2: Intelligence
Your Agent Analyzes Everything
Discovery is the foundation. Porcia's intelligence layer then cross-references your stack against a global database of 1,000+ vendors and 10,000+ pricing data points to find where you're overpaying.
Usage Analysis
- Track who uses what, how often, and for how long
- Identify unused seats and inactive licenses
- Spot redundant tools and overlapping functionality
- Continuous monitoring and real-time updates
Market Intelligence
- Pricing benchmarks from real market data
- Typical discount ranges by company size
- Competitive alternatives and substitutes
- Renewal timing and historical patterns

Continuously updated
Continuous intelligence. The more tools Porcia analyzes across our customer base, the smarter your recommendations become.
Phase 3: Act
Turn insight into action
Visibility without action is just a prettier spreadsheet. Porcia gives you the context to make fast, confident decisions—and keeps your inventory clean over time.
Spend optimisation
Armed with real usage data, you can act on waste immediately:
- • Remove unused seats before the next billing cycle
- • Consolidate duplicate tools doing the same job
- • Downgrade over-provisioned plans to match actual usage
- • Cancel forgotten trials and zombie subscriptions
Ongoing governance
Porcia keeps watching after day one:
- • Alerts when new apps are adopted across your team
- • Flags inactive accounts before they become a risk
- • Tracks upcoming renewals so you're never caught off guard
- • Keeps your SaaS inventory current—automatically
Your stack, under control. Porcia gives you a living, accurate picture of your software—not a snapshot you have to keep updating manually.
