New: license management, cloud costs from Azure to Hetzner & application costs

Visibility. Intelligence. Control.

Your IT budget knows more
than your spreadsheet

Contrixt shows plan, actuals, committed and forecast in one view, pulls license and cloud costs automatically from Microsoft 365, Azure & co., warns before contracts renew at a premium — and your team finally works from the same numbers instead of file version _final_v7.

IT controlling in Excel works.
Until it gets expensive.

📅

The contract that quietly renewed itself

The cancellation deadline sat in an Excel cell nobody looked at. The maintenance contract now runs for another year — at the old price, without a negotiation.

Typical damage: €10,000–50,000
🧾

The December surprise

In Q4 it turns out: cloud costs ran out of control, purchase orders were budgeted twice. Too late to counter-steer — now it's about explaining instead of managing.

Budget deviation only visible after 10 months
🗂️

Version _final_final_v7.xlsx

Three departments, four file versions, no history. Who changed the plan value? Which number counts? Every month-end close starts with data archaeology.

Hours per month spent reconciling instead of analyzing
Use cases

One tool. Three perspectives. One source of truth.

Contrixt is built so IT leadership, controlling and business teams work with the same numbers — each with the view and the permissions that fit their role.

IT leadership

Contracts under control before they strike

An IT director manages 45 contracts — from M365 and firewall maintenance to helpdesk outsourcing. Before: an Excel list and hope. Now: the cancellation radar.

  • Last day to cancel calculated automatically — from term, notice period and auto-renewal
  • Staged escalation: traffic light, notification, Outlook calendar
  • Digital contract file: PDFs, decisions and cost commitments in one place

→ Every renewal becomes a conscious decision — with room to negotiate instead of time pressure.

Controlling / CFO

Forecast instead of a December surprise

A controller is responsible for an €800,000 IT budget across 12 cost centers. Instead of a month-end scramble, she sees at any time: where are we, where will we land?

  • Plan, actuals, committed and contract-bound costs per cost center × category
  • Year-end forecast from run rate — never below already committed costs
  • Cloud & license costs flow in automatically — from Azure to Microsoft 365
  • Power BI connectivity via read-only API, CSV import from your ERP

→ Deviations are visible months ahead — manage instead of explain.

Teams & governance

Everyone sees their own. Everything is traceable.

Four team leads manage their own budgets. Budget increases used to run via email ping-pong — now they are requests with rules the system enforces.

  • Cost center scoping: teams only see and edit their own area
  • Approval workflow with multi-stage approvals, a four-eyes principle and auto-approval below your limit
  • Tamper-proof audit log — every change, every decision, exportable

→ Governance without bureaucracy: configure the rules once, the system enforces them.

Features

Everything IT controlling needs

From the first budget to BI reporting — no training days, no consulting project.

📊

Budget matrix with committed spend

Plan, actuals, purchase orders (committed) and contract-bound costs per cost center × category. Utilization indicators and warning thresholds you define yourself. Budget rollover into the new year with one click — optionally with ±%. Investments are depreciated automatically — linearly, at the rhythm you choose. All values net — gross entries are converted automatically.

🤝

Collaborative budget planning

Start a planning round for a target fiscal year, pre-filled with the current year's values. Cost center owners enter their planned figures bottom-up, each only for their own cost centers. A review status precedes final approval, which then writes the values automatically as new budgets into the target year.

🧾

Invoice inbox with budget vs. actual matching

Upload a PDF invoice — Contrixt automatically reads amount, invoice number, date and supplier, matches it against the right contract and flags deviations. One click books the actual cost into the correct budget cell. Contrixt automatically reads structured e-invoices (ZUGFeRD/XRechnung).

Cancellation radar

Every contract knows its notice period and auto-renewal. Contrixt calculates the last safe day to cancel, escalates in configurable stages — all the way into your Outlook calendar (iCal) — and books recurring contract costs automatically on your key date if you wish.

🧩

License management across all sources

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Adobe Creative Cloud licenses sync automatically; everything else you record manually — Atlassian, perpetual licenses. One consolidated view shows inventory, cost, contract basis and the savings potential in euros from unused and inactive licenses. Contrixt can book the monthly costs automatically at month end.

☁️

Cloud & infrastructure costs

Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and Hetzner deliver their costs automatically — mapped by subscription, resource group or tag. On request, Contrixt books the monthly costs automatically on the last day of the month, per cost center. VMware, Hyper-V and Proxmox report your VMs, valued with your own internal prices per core, RAM and disk. Environments without a publicly reachable API connect through the Contrixt Bridge — outbound only, with no inbound firewall rules.

🗺️

Application costs

Contracts, licenses, cloud costs and VMs per application — from app code to a complete cost structure. Via the connections to Microsoft Entra, GitHub, Atlassian and Zoom, Contrixt also detects SaaS apps in use automatically (shadow IT) and suggests the mapping.

💶

Savings ledger

Recommendations from licenses, contracts and invoices turn into measurable savings — Contrixt shows exactly what you've saved each month and year.

🤖

AI assistant

Ask your IT costs directly: the assistant answers questions about budgets, contracts and licenses — and automatically reads invoices and contracts. Optional, GDPR-compliant, switch off with one click.

📈

Year-end forecast

Run-rate projection per budget cell that never drops below committed costs. The payment forecast shows the coming 12 months — including foreign-currency contracts at the ECB rate.

🔮

What-if scenarios

Play through the year-end forecast right in the report — global or category-specific percentage adjustments, one-off or recurring fixed costs starting from a chosen month, either dropped or newly added. The result shows the savings or extra cost against the annual total instantly, without saving anything.

Approval workflows

Multi-stage approvals by amount thresholds — for purchase orders and investments too. With a four-eyes principle, auto-approval below your limit and full history.

🧭

Dashboards & drill-down

Arrange widgets freely and click through from the KPI down to the individual booking. IT costs per employee are allocated to cost centers using a selectable allocation key. The employee directory drills down to the individual person — grouped by department & co. from SCIM/Entra.

📁

Digital contract file

Documents, renewal decisions and multi-year commitments attached to the contract.

🔌

Power BI & REST API

Full REST API with read and write access, fine-grained permissions per data type, and interactive Swagger documentation you can try out directly. Outgoing webhooks deliver events signed and with automatic retries for reliable delivery.

🔑

SSO & provisioning

Single sign-on via Entra ID or Google, users provisioned automatically via SCIM — invitees set their own password.

🔔

Notifications

Budget warning thresholds, approaching deadlines and pending requests — in the app and by email. Automatic cost anomaly alerts also flag unusual spending spikes per cost center, contract and cloud connection.

🛡️

Security by default

Tenant isolation at database level, encryption with your own key on request (BYOK), two-factor authentication via authenticator app or passkey, audit log, hosting 🇩🇪.

Integrations

Connected to your IT world

Licenses, cloud costs and VM resources flow in automatically — set up in minutes via a guided wizard, no agents, no consultants.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the free trial work?

Register with your preferred subdomain and use the full feature set for 14 days — no credit card required. Afterwards you pick a plan; all your data is fully preserved. Without a subscription, access is merely paused — nothing gets deleted. A business email address is required to register; free providers such as Gmail or Outlook are not supported.

Where is our data stored?

Exclusively in Germany — GDPR-compliant. All data is stored encrypted and transmitted encrypted end to end; tenant isolation is additionally enforced by the database itself. On request you encrypt sensitive data with your own key (bring your own key).

Which integrations does Contrixt offer?

Licenses: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Adobe Creative Cloud (automatic sync) plus manual entry for everything else. Cloud costs: Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and Hetzner — mapped by subscription, resource group or tag. Virtualization: VMware vCenter, Hyper-V and Proxmox with your own internal prices. Plus SSO (Entra ID, Google), SCIM provisioning and a read-only API for Power BI. You set up every connection yourself via a guided wizard in a few minutes.

Does every company get its own subdomain?

Yes. During registration you choose your address, e.g. your-company.contrixt.com — availability is checked live.

Can we import existing data?

Yes. Import bookings via CSV (German and English number/date formats are detected), and roll budgets over into the next fiscal year with one click. A read-only API is available for BI tools; write APIs are on the roadmap.

How do I reach support?

As a customer, right in the app under "Support" — every request is handled as a ticket with a traceable conversation; replies appear in the app with a notification. Without an account, use the contact form: you receive a ticket number, the reply arrives by email, and your response is automatically attached to the same case.

What are the contract terms?

All plans can be cancelled monthly — right in the customer portal, no phone call, no notice-period tricks. We are, after all, a tool against hidden contract traps.

What happens to our data after cancellation?

You can export all your data as CSV at any time. After your contract ends we retain your data for 90 days (in case you return) and then delete it completely and verifiably.
