Sastrify

Big news - we’ve been acquired by Deel 🎉 🎉🎉 Sastrify has built a platform that gives companies real visibility and control over software – from usage to renewals to pricing. Joining Deel enables us to accelerate that into a global platform for the full IT lifecycle. We couldn’t be more thrilled to continue this journey together with Alex, Shuo, Sami, Michael and the rest of the Deel IT team, powering the full IT lifecycle across hardware and software, with built-in cost optimization and control. For more information, check out Deel’s blog (see comments).

👋 we need your help: As we're planning the next Sastrify webinar, what should we provide insights on? 🤔

Our CEO Sven just made our #Claude pricing cheat sheet available to everyone 😱 - make sure to check it out!

"𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆." That's the reality for Georg Berndl and the team at Burda Procurement GmbH – managing software negotiations across multiple companies, product categories, and vendors. The challenge? Entering every renewal with full market transparency – at scale, without friction. Here's how they do it: ✅ Pricing benchmarks that instantly show where an offer stands vs. the market ✅ Data-backed arguments that shift the dynamic at the negotiation table ✅ Tactical guidance and vendor insights – on demand, across any software category The result: IT buyer that come prepared. Negotiations that are proactive, not reactive. Huge thank you to Georg and the entire Burda Procurement GmbH team for the continued trust in Sastrify! 👉 Curious how they turned market data into negotiation power?

“We don’t have a procurement team.” We hear this a lot from fast-growing companies - and it was exactly where our work with Lanes & Planes began. As a quickly scaling travel-tech company, their software stack was growing just as fast. Different teams were purchasing tools independently, renewals were coming from all directions, and pricing benchmarks were nearly impossible to validate. A classic scale-up situation. Together with Steffi Feldmann and the team at Lanes & Planes, we brought structure to their software procurement - without requiring them to build an in-house procurement department. Here's what that looks like in practice: ✅ A single source of truth for all software licenses and renewals ✅ Data-backed benchmarking to validate pricing and strengthen negotiations ✅ Tactical negotiation support alongside technical owners The result: full visibility, clearer structure, and total confidence going into every vendor negotiation. 🧡 Huge thank you to Steffi and the entire Lanes & Planes team for their continued trust and collaboration! 👉 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁?

Before you sign anything, make sure you can answer:  ✅ Which licenses are you actually using? ✅ Are EA, MCA-E or CSP the right fit for where your company is heading? ✅ Are you paying market rate - or leaving savings on the table?

Sastrify goes to Berlin next week! Meet our team, Max Blaschke & Maximilian Wiedmaier, on March 16th - 17th at 𝗜𝗧 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 & 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 + 𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗦. 🎤 Our Head of Sales, Max Blaschke, will be speaking about how to stay ahead of the 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱 and reduce Microsoft spend before the July 2026 price increase. Is your Microsoft Enterprise Agreement expiring soon? 👉 Let’s connect in Berlin or reach out to us today.

This is what “we’ll clean up our software stack later” looks like. Later: 🫠 unused licenses 🫠 tools no one uses 🫠 auto-renewals you “definitely cancelled.” Stabilize your software stack before it breaks your budget. Sastrify is the best way to start.
