Recurring software spend is often spread across cards, invoices and department owners. AI can group the work so the business sees what needs review.
Practical SME workflow
Run an expense and subscription review workflow. Use card exports, supplier lists, expense policy and owner mapping. AI groups recurring charges, possible duplicates, missing owners and policy exceptions.
Risk and control
Do not count suggested savings until an owner confirms them. AI must not cancel tools, approve expenses, challenge staff or change renewal terms. Keep the owner decision beside each item.
