License reconciliation service for MSPs with overbilled seats
Reconcile billed MSP licenses against actual usage to recover overcharges.
Why it can work
- Billing from removed devices and redundant seats means overpayment.
- Tool licenses build up unused and need structured review.
- Platform changes can raise prices and overlap billing.
Watch out
- Vendors may dispute corrections or resist changing billed counts.
- Vendor reporting deadlines may limit how fast fixes land.

The job to be done
Reconcile vendor license counts against usage
When an MSP is billed for endpoints or seats that were already removed or are redundant, it needs to compare billed licenses with actual usage and get overcharges corrected, so it stops overpaying for unused tools.
