  SaaS Intelligence. LeanIX was subsequently acquired by SAP. cleanshelf.com now 301-redirects to www.leanix.net and is served

description: Cleanshelf was a San Francisco enterprise SaaS management platform that discovered and inventoried an organization's
  SaaS applications, optimized software licenses, tracked subscription spend, and surfaced shadow IT. At acquisition it claimed
  more than 3,000 integrations and managed roughly $700 million in SaaS spend for its customers. LeanIX acquired Cleanshelf
  on 24 March 2021 and relaunched the technology on 1 May 2021 as LeanIX SaaS Intelligence, with SaaS discovery and cataloging
  folded into the LeanIX Application Portfolio Management module; LeanIX itself was later acquired by SAP. Cleanshelf publishes
  no API, developer portal or documentation of its own today — cleanshelf.com 301-redirects to www.leanix.net and its former
  api, app and docs hostnames no longer resolve. The successor API surface is profiled separately under the LeanIX record.

  detail: 'Cleanshelf was acquired by LeanIX on 24 March 2021 and relaunched as LeanIX SaaS Intelligence, and the brand is
    now fully absorbed — cleanshelf.com and www.cleanshelf.com 301 to www.leanix.net behind a certificate issued to O=SAP
    SE, CN=leanix.info with sap.de nameservers, api/app/docs.cleanshelf.com return NXDOMAIN, and the only document either
    host still serves is an expired RFC 9116 security.txt whose contact is SAP''s vulnerability reporting page. A first-party
    source and package sweep found nothing either: there is no cleanshelf GitHub organization (404) and no package named cleanshelf
    on npm, PyPI, RubyGems, crates.io, Packagist, NuGet or Maven Central, so no SDK, CLI or client library survives the shutdown
    to profile.'
