Procurement
Sting gives Procurement teams visibility and control at the exact moment employees try to use unapproved tools or bypass sanctioned buying channels.
It’s browser-based, zero-telemetry, and on-premises — designed for organizations that want to protect negotiated agreements and reduce maverick spend without relying solely on policy.
Start in silent monitoring mode, then apply graduated enforcement.
The Problem for Procurement Teams
Employees frequently onboard new SaaS tools and sign vendor agreements outside of approved procurement processes. This fragments spend, erodes volume discounts, and creates surprise renewals and duplicate tools that Procurement only discovers after the budget has already been spent.
Over time, maverick adoption quietly undermines the leverage your team works hard to build with strategic vendors.
How Sting helps
Sting intercepts checkout attempts and account creation on unapproved domains in real time. It can surface the activity for review, require approval through proper channels, or block it entirely. You gain immediate visibility into what teams are actually trying to adopt — not just what appears on invoices later.
