How it works

Connect your existing IT systems to Trelica and gain valuable application insights in a matter of minutes.

Identity Providers & SSO Integration

Integrate with popular Identity Providers such as Okta, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) to see which apps are being accessed by whom and how often.

Finance System Connectivity

Connect finance systems like NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Expensify to enrich your usage data with spend insights and uncover apps not being accessed via your Identity Provider.

Browser Extension

Deploy Trelica’s extension to reveal access to apps outside of your Identity Provider and fill discovery gaps. Benefit from early detection of freemium adoption before the expense claims arrive.

Frequently asked questions

SaaS Discovery FAQ

How does Trelica identify Shadow SaaS applications?

A combination of Identity Provider access log analysis (including OAuth/OIDC, SAML, SWA) with spend transaction scanning, plus an optional Browser Extension for enhanced discovery.

Can Trelica integrate with my existing IT infrastructure?

Absolutely. Trelica has hundreds of connectors, spanning Identity Providers, finance systems, HRIS, MDMs, and business applications. What’s more, we will add new connectors on-demand, for free, where an app has an open API.

How does your Browser Extension work?

The extension - available for all major browsers - can be deployed via your endpoint solution or Identity Provider admin console. The extension is designed to be minimally intrusive from an end user perspective: it’s looking for access to business apps and doesn’t process or store any third-party credentials.

What level of access do you need to our systems?

Like every SaaS management platform, Trelica typically needs admin permissions to integrate with other apps and pull user information. Integration features are tied back to specific permission sets (we use OAuth for authentication wherever available), with the minimum required read-only permissions set by default.

What are the security risks of shadow SaaS?

Shadow SaaS refers to the use of unapproved SaaS applications that operate outside the control of IT or security teams. These unauthorized SaaS apps can expose your organization to security risks, including potential data breaches and compliance violations.

Without the right security measures in place, sensitive data stored in cloud-based applications may be left vulnerable. Trelica helps you identify and manage hidden SaaS apps, reducing the risks associated with Shadow SaaS for full visibility and control.

If I start a trial, will your sales team descend on me?

No. You will receive a couple of emails with tips and links to tutorial videos (and, of course, a meeting link in case you want to speak to us). No bombardment, no unwanted calls. We also have to find SaaS tools to run our business - we like testing things out for ourselves and don’t like being harassed, so we’re committed to selling with the same mindset.
