description: Cleanshelf was a SaaS management platform that helped enterprises discover and inventory their SaaS applications,
  optimize software licenses, track spend, and surface shadow IT. Cleanshelf was acquired by Zylo in 2021 and its capabilities
  have been folded into the Zylo enterprise SaaS spend optimization platform. The Cleanshelf product brand and standalone
  API are no longer maintained; equivalent programmatic capabilities are now exposed through the Zylo Developer Hub at developer.zylo.com.

  description: The Zylo Platform API is the successor to Cleanshelf. It exposes SaaS application discovery, inventory, license,
    contract, and spend data so enterprises can integrate Zylo with finance, procurement, and IT systems. A legacy v1.0 API
    remains documented for older Cleanshelf-era integrations.
