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 The Cleanshelf product brand and standalone API are no longer maintained; equivalent programmatic capabilities are now exposed through the Zylo Developer Hub at developer.zylo.com.
