Shadow IT detection

Ready for publish

Shadow IT is not malice, it is convenience. Teams buy what they need on a card, and the same capability ends up under five names across the company.

Flo reads spend and app data, clusters tools by capability, and surfaces the overlaps and the unsanctioned tools. It routes the findings to IT and finance with the owners named.

Flo surfaces the sprawl. IT and finance act. You see the real software footprint, not the one the org chart assumes.
