Spend analytics lives at Dashboard → Spend (/dashboard/spend). It aggregates cost data from email-extracted invoices, manually entered contracts, and uploaded documents to give you a live picture of what your organization pays for software.

The Spend dashboard

Navigate to Dashboard in the sidebar, then click Spend in the sub-navigation.

Metrics cards

The top row shows five key metrics:

Category spend donut

A donut chart breaks down your total spend by app category — Collaboration, Developer Tools, Security, Finance, and so on. Hover any segment to see the exact amount and percentage.

Sections

Below the metrics, the Spend page is divided into distinct sections:

Inactive & Abandoned

Apps where users have stopped logging in. For each app Porcia shows:
  • How many users are inactive (have access, low login frequency)
  • How many users are abandoned (have access, no login in 90+ days)
  • How many are active
  • Monthly spend attributable to inactive/abandoned seats
Use this to identify right-sizing opportunities before your next renewal.

Redundant Apps

Apps that serve the same function and may be consolidatable. Each redundant app is shown with:
  • App name, category, and active account count
  • Similar apps already in your catalog (e.g. two project management tools, two video conferencing tools)

Upcoming Renewals

A table of all contracts renewing soon, sorted by renewal date. Columns:
  • App name and logo
  • Renewal date
  • Billing contact (assigned owner from your workspace)
This table is your renewal calendar — review it regularly so nothing auto-renews without a decision.

Single-User Apps

Apps where only one person in the org has access. These are candidates for cancellation if the user has left or no longer needs the tool.

Unapproved Apps

Apps that have been discovered with spend data but haven’t been formally approved. Helps finance teams see what’s being paid for outside the sanctioned catalog.

How spend data gets into Porcia

Email intelligence

Invoices and receipts — extracts vendor, amount, and billing date automatically

Uploaded documents

Contracts and invoices — AI extracts pricing and renewal terms from PDFs

Manual entry

Enter pricing directly on any app’s Spend tab in the detail view

SSO / browser

User counts used for inactive and abandoned license calculations
The more email intelligence you have connected, the more spend data populates automatically. Without email, you can still build your catalog manually via the Spend tab on each app’s detail page.

App-level spend detail

For deeper analysis on a single app, go to Assets → Apps → [App Name] → Spend tab. This shows:
  • KPI strip with annual cost, cost per user, and benchmark comparison
  • Full pricing history
  • Unused license detection specific to this app
  • Contract lifecycle details

AWS accounts

The Spend page includes an AWS Accounts section. This is currently marked as coming soon and will surface cloud infrastructure costs alongside SaaS spend when available.
