Tags by Forescribe: Turn Your App Stack Into an Organized, Insight-Driven System

Organize, group, and understand your entire app landscape with effortless classification.

Modern IT environments are sprawling faster than ever. Employees adopt new tools weekly. Teams bring their own apps. Departments onboard vendors independently. In this fast-moving landscape, even the most mature digital organizations struggle with a scattered and unstructured software portfolio.

This leads to real challenges for enterprise leaders:

• Disconnected app visibility

• Difficulty grouping tools by purpose or function

• Hard-to-track vendor relationships

• Inefficient software audits

• Increased risk due to shadow apps

• Wasted spending caused by misalignment

Tags by Forescribe solves this — not by adding another dashboard, but by transforming your entire application ecosystem into a structured, searchable, and insight-driven repository.

With Tags, IT, Finance, and Procurement teams finally get a unified language to classify, segment, and understand their entire software landscape.

Organize, Group, and Understand Apps Effortlessly

Tags gives enterprises the power to bring order to software chaos. Whether you’re managing 200 apps or 2,000, Tags gives your teams the flexibility to categorize and structure applications however they need — without waiting for static metadata or complex classification rules.

What Tags Enables

• Instant Organization: Create meaningful categories for apps — by purpose, function, vendor, department, compliance level, cost category, usage pattern, or anything else your organization needs.

• Clear Grouping: Bring apps together logically (e.g., “AI Tools,” “Finance Apps,” “Contract-Heavy Tools,” “Critical Systems,” “Low-Usage Apps”).

• Faster Understanding: Unlock deeper insights with contextual tagging that reveals trends, risks, and cost drivers across your software estate.

Tags gives your entire organization the freedom to organize apps in a way that aligns with your workflows, your teams, and your business logic, not someone else’s taxonomy.

Why Tags Matters for Enterprise Teams

For CIOs & IT Leaders: Bring Order to Software Sprawl

CIOs get a clearer view of their software landscape without spending hours filtering, sorting, and matching tools manually. Tags help identify redundancies, overlap, shadow apps, and adoption gaps — all in a structured way.

For FinOps & CFO Teams: Improve Spend Intelligence

Understanding cost categories becomes easier when apps are tagged correctly. FinOps teams can tag apps by spend type, department ownership, or renewal priority — enabling cleaner reporting and better cost optimization.

For Procurement Leaders: Streamline Vendor & Contract Management

Tags like “High Renewal Risk,” “Multi-Contract Vendor,” “Unused Tools,” or “Consolidation Candidate” instantly surface insights that matter for negotiation, renewal planning, and vendor assessments.

For ITAM & Ops Teams: Boost Governance & Compliance

Tags help categorize apps by compliance level, risk type, license model, or federation status — ensuring faster audits, better controls, and reduced exposure from shadow IT.

For Security Teams: Classify Tools by Risk Weighting

Security leaders can tag apps by data sensitivity, permission scope, authentication type, or risk level — giving immediate clarity into where intervention is needed.

Where Tags Makes a Real Impact

1. Faster Decision-Making

With tags applied consistently, leaders can quickly evaluate entire categories of tools: CRM apps, AI tools, finance systems, collaboration platforms, etc.

2. Better Cost Optimization

Tagging apps by spend category, owner, or usage pattern surfaces immediate opportunities to reduce waste and optimize licenses.

3. Stronger Governance & Compliance

Tags help teams quickly identify high-risk apps, unauthorized tools, and compliance-sensitive software.

4. Smarter Vendor Strategy

Procurement can tag vendors based on renewal cycles, negotiation leverage, contract overlap, and strategic importance.

5. Cleaner, More Accurate Reporting

Tags enable tailored reporting views that reflect the way your organization thinks, not how tools categorize software by default.
