Use cases
How growing teams could use Renlyst
Renlyst is designed for companies that run dozens of SaaS and AI subscriptions without a procurement team. These are the five jobs the first release is built for. Each one works with data you enter or import from a CSV — Renlyst does not connect to your bank, cards or vendor accounts.
In development. Renlyst has not launched yet. This page describes how the first release is designed to work; details may change before launch.

One workspace, clear roles
People join a workspace with one of four roles. Who is responsible for a subscription is a separate field, so a department lead can own a renewal decision without getting admin rights.
| Person | Typical role | What they do in Renlyst |
|---|---|---|
| Founder, CEO or CFO | Owner | Sees everything, manages members and the Renlyst plan. Receives reminders for subscriptions nobody owns yet. |
| Finance or operations manager | Admin or Member | Keeps the inventory, imports CSV files, records renewal decisions and confirms savings. |
| Department or team lead | Member, named as Subscription Owner | Gets the reminders for their tools and records what was decided. |
| Accountant, advisor or board reviewer | Viewer | Reads the dashboard, renewals, savings and reports without being able to change them. |
