Inside the "Terrapinn Brain": How One COO Cut £470K in SaaS and Shipped 13 AI Skills in 5 Weeks

Lots.

So we've, the first, so the first piece we took out was, and really this is mainly down to when the renewal, not for any, there was no massive renewal.

decision other than when the renewal dates were coming up and how long they were going to expect us to renew.

So the first piece of technology we took out was LinkedIn Navigator.

We haven't actually replaced that.

That had to go just because they wanted a two-year contract.

And I wasn't willing to sign a two-year contract in today's climate.

I just said, I don't, I think there's going to be other solutions.

So we decided to, not maybe very popular with our sales team at the moment, but we have some plans and we have some ideas.

It's just, yeah, holidays have gotten in the way of that one.

We took out monday.com. Again, that was doing project management and Claude's pretty much doing that.

And we also used monday.com. um, to write our business plans.

So it was, we had it as a tool.

It was writing business plans for us.

Um, and, uh,

Yeah,

pretty clunky to do that with, to be honest.

And we had everyone in the company on it.

So we just kept it on marketing in the end.

So we collapsed down a lot of those licenses.

And again, because of the renewal cycle on that contract, that made that become a priority.

Do we want to re-sign for a year or do we want to replace? So then that put that project of replacing the business plan very high up on the list, number one.

So we took out that we, um, we took out Tableau as our analytics platform.

Um, we.

Claude could just do it with it I mean once we'd hooked it up to Salesforce I didn't need a dashboard that was going to take eight hours to refresh I was going you know I could just do it live you know so now we ironically we'd actually decided to take out Tableau and put in Google Looker and then Claude's even taken that Looker before we hardly well we have a dashboard but you know, get used by some people on Claude's users at the moment, but, um, Claude could do that.
