MiSO3 was born from a simple question: With so much spent on technology, why do financially disciplined executives allow so much waste—like unused licenses and above-market rates?

The answer: timely visibility.

Vendors have changed the game — and most businesses aren’t ready.

Capital purchases, once easily tracked through financial systems, are being replaced by recurring services that are harder to see, harder to manage, and far easier to overspend on. When savings opportunities are buried behind scattered spreadsheets, inconsistent processes, and silent auto-renewals, only the biggest expenses get noticed. Everyday waste quietly compounds — eroding budgets and profits.

Without new systems to track and manage this shift, operational liabilities grow unchecked — putting long-term competitiveness at risk.

It was identified that if we’re easy savings opportunities were easy to see—leaders would act. But most insights were only uncovered through expensive, time-consuming audits. As a result, only the biggest expenses were addressed, while everyday waste was ignored.

Compounding the issue is the shift from capital purchases to recurring services. One-time purchases are tracked on the balance sheet; recurring costs are scattered across spreadsheets. These terms auto-renew quietly, growing operational liabilities without notice.

After reviewing tools like TEM platforms and subscription trackers, the MiSO3 founders realized none could combine operational and financial data without manual effort. Worse, most were built on outdated tech—unable to support modern AI and automation.

What was needed was a new kind of inventory—one built specifically to track and manage recurring vendor commitments. The result: Active Inventory.

MiSO3 automates 90% of the traditional workload by extracting, transforming, and analyzing service data—so people can focus on decisions, not data prep.

The 3 Core Automations of Active Inventory:

1. Detect changes from past decisions (e.g., price increases)

2. Proactively request better pricing before contract renewals

3. Align costs to internal resources like locations, teams, or applications
