Problem
Many companies, especially startups, lack the resources or expertise to effectively manage and optimize their cloud infrastructure spending. Paying on-demand rates for cloud services can be significantly more expensive than committing to longer-term contracts, but accurately forecasting resource needs and navigating complex pricing models is challenging. This often leads to overspending and inefficient use of cloud resources.

The platform aggregates the cloud service demands of multiple companies, enabling them to access volume discounts and achieve savings of up to 40% on premium cloud services without long-term commitments. Dotted simplifies cloud financial management by providing a user-friendly interface to monitor spending, identify optimization opportunities, and automate cost-saving measures. By using read-only access to a company's cloud account, Dotted estimates potential savings and then begins optimizing costs after verification.
