Shadow IT: catching what your IdP misses

See what you're paying for, who's using it, and when it renews. Reftab tracks SaaS subscriptions and installed applications so you're not surprised by auto-renewals or paying for seats nobody uses.

Plan replacements before hardware fails

Plan replacements before hardware fails

See which assets are nearing end-of-life. Forecast what needs replacing next quarter. Stay ahead of warranty expirations. Budget reviews won’t catch you off guard because you know exactly what's aging out and when it needs replacement.

Know who has what without asking around

Know who has what without asking around

Assign laptops and equipment to specific people. Set expected return dates. Reftab sends automated reminders when gear is overdue. Run periodic ownership checks to confirm everyone still has their assigned assets and they're functional.

See where your it budget goes

See where your IT budget goes

Every purchase gets logged with cost, location, and department. Pull spend reports by team, office, or asset category. When finance asks how much was spent on monitors last year or audit season arrives, you have the data ready.

Real teams. Real results.
