Empower Teams, Save Time: Self-Service Software Buying with NachoNacho
Decentralized Software Buying
In a recent Software Spotlight interview, Andy Karuza, the Head of Marketing at NachoNacho, the world's fastest-growing B2B SaaS marketplace, stated that SaaS purchasing is becoming more decentralized. “The procurement systems that many people have in place are becoming outdated. A lot of people are expecting to be able to go find their own software, do their own research, and buy the software.”
NachoNacho aims to transform how businesses manage software subscriptions by matching buyers and sellers through an efficient marketplace. Karuza states, “We have about 700 software brands that we work with…We have quite a large variety across a bunch of different software categories.”
The Problem: Software Sprawl
Many companies struggle with controlling software spending across departments, a problem known as “software sprawl.” NachoNacho provides a solution with its integrated marketplace and subscription management tools.
“We have this super powerful SaaS management solution on the back end where you can manage all of your expenses company-wide per vendor, per employee, right down to the exact cent,” says Karuza.
The Solution: A Vertical Marketplace
NachoNacho operates as a specialized vertical marketplace, offering software discovery, discounts, and spend management in one platform.
“Initially, you might come to buy Gusto because we have a great deal on it,” explains Karuza. “And we have other great software on our platform. But eventually, you will stick around and realize that the SaaS management tools are very powerful.”
He adds, “The marketplace is the attractor. The spend management side is the moat for the business.”
Empowering Decentralized Buying
Rather than forcing centralized procurement, NachoNacho caters to decentralized buying trends. Teams can discover and purchase software based on their needs while administrators maintain visibility and control.
“As entrepreneurs ourselves, too, SaaS buying is becoming very decentralized,” says Karuza. “The better that you can align with that current behavioral model right now in the market that we see today, being a place where it doesn't matter who it is in the company, they can come in, and they could buy software, find the software they're looking for, they could easily buy it without having to, you know, go through it, jump through a bunch of hoops.”

By consolidating purchases and subscriptions into one platform, NachoNacho leverages scale to negotiate discounts passed onto customers.
Software Recommendations with AI
NachoNacho collects data on purchasing habits and software usage to provide personalized recommendations. “We have a tool called Sherlock where we could accurately recommend software that you should be using based on your buying habits,” according to Karuza.
Easy Onboarding for Existing Subscriptions
Rather than starting from scratch, the Sherlock tool identifies current software subscriptions across browsers, accounting systems, and more. Administrators can then easily track and manage them going forward.
“Now we've added the Chrome browser. We've added the Google Connect…It makes it easier than ever for people to get that subscription sprawl discovery process going,” says Karuza.
