Cloud cost optimisation that cuts the bill, not the performance

Backendz finds where your Azure or AWS spend is going, removes the waste, resizes what's oversized and puts controls in place so the bill stays down. You see the savings before we change anything.

Or see how we engage first — four shapes, no sales call required.

  • Cloud cost audits
  • Rightsizing
  • Idle resource clean-up
  • Reserved instances
  • Savings plans
  • Storage tiering
  • Database rightsizing
  • Auto-scaling
  • Scheduled shutdowns
  • Licence optimisation
  • Cost allocation & tagging
  • Budgets & alerts
  • Unit cost tracking
  • FinOps practices
  • Hosting comparisons
  • Monthly cost reports

We find the money your cloud bill is hiding

  • No more paying for servers that run all night for nobody

  • Stop guessing which project or client is driving the bill

  • Forget oversized databases chosen "just in case" two years ago

  • Done with test environments nobody remembered to switch off

  • Skip finding out about a spike when the invoice arrives

  • Say bye to paying full price for workloads that run every hour of every day

Why build cloud cost optimisation with us?

Savings shown before changes made

You get a costed list of savings and risks, and approve each one.

Engineers, not accountants

We understand the software running on the resources, so we cut waste without breaking anything.

We'll tell you when the cloud isn't the answer

Some steady workloads run far cheaper on a VPS or dedicated server; we run both and compare honestly.

Savings that last

Budgets, alerts and tagging mean costs stay visible after we've gone.

The people who have to live with what we build

Operations directors, CTOs and plant managers — the ones still using the system a year after the invoice cleared.

We wanted answers our team could check against the original document. Having the relevant clause beside the response makes the assistant useful when reviewing policies and contracts.
Emma CollinsHead of Business Operations at Clearbrook Advisory
We needed scheduling, availability and shift changes in one place. Backendz shaped the system around the way our operations team works and stayed involved after launch to help us refine it.

Our rental journey had to work for both vehicle owners and travellers. Backendz brought listings, availability and bookings together into a platform that feels straightforward to use.

We wanted a practical way to review PPE and safety-zone events using our existing cameras. The team focused on the situations our site managers need to investigate and made the footage easier to review.
Daniel BrooksSite Operations Manager at Oakmere Construction
A single headcount does not tell us where congestion is developing. The zone-based view gives our team a clearer picture of how people are moving and where attention may be needed.
Olivia ReedVenue Operations Director at Cedarhall Events
The priority was a counting workflow our warehouse team could use during a normal shift. Backendz connected image-based counts with the records we already use and made discrepancies easier to review.
Michael TurnerWarehouse Manager at Harbourline Logistics
Tender preparation involves gathering evidence and getting the right people to review each section. Backendz brought those steps into one workspace, with drafts our team can check and approve.
William ParkerBid Manager at Westhaven Technical Services
Our information was spread across several operational systems. Backendz designed a clearer way to ask questions, inspect the supporting evidence and keep approval with our team before an action is taken.
Charlotte HayesChief Operating Officer at Elmbridge Services Group
Our estimating process needed to reflect how we actually price work. Backendz took time to understand the inputs and rules, then built a quoting journey our team could review and refine.
Thomas MitchellManaging Director at Ridgewell Roofing & Cladding
The reconciliation workflow gives our finance team one place to review mismatches and supporting records. We can trace an exception back to its source and decide what needs attention.
Henry WilsonFinance Director at Ashford Distribution
The team took time to understand how our staff work between appointments. The resulting system brings scheduling and client information together without making the day more complicated.
Amelia FosterHead of Operations at Meadowcrest Care
We had outgrown the spreadsheets that held our pricing rules. Backendz helped turn that knowledge into a quoting tool we can maintain and explain to new colleagues.
George EvansManaging Director at Stonefield Fabrication
We could review working features throughout the build and give specific feedback. That made it easier to keep the product focused on the people using it.
Isabel MorganProduct Director at Brightpath Learning
Connecting our sales and inventory systems was the priority. The integration gives our team a clearer view of updates and a practical way to investigate records that need review.
Jack HarrisonTechnology Manager at Westbrook Retail
Our field team needed access to job details away from the office. The mobile workflow keeps the relevant information close at hand and gives the office a clearer view of progress.

FAQ

The things people ask before they commit.

Still have questions?

Ask it on the call. We would rather answer an awkward question early than discover it in month three.

Book a call
What is cloud cost optimisation?

Cloud cost optimisation is reducing what a business spends on cloud services without hurting performance or reliability. It includes removing unused resources, resizing oversized ones, committing to discounts for steady workloads and setting up controls so costs stay visible.

What is FinOps?

FinOps is a practice that brings finance, engineering and business teams together to manage cloud spending. It makes cloud costs visible by team or product, ties them to business value and builds habits that keep spending under control.

How much can we save on our cloud bill?

It varies widely with how the cloud has been set up and managed. A review identifies the specific savings in your account, with their value, before any changes are made. [Add a typical range once you have results]

What is rightsizing?

Rightsizing is matching cloud resources, such as servers and databases, to what workloads actually use. Many resources are sized for peaks that rarely happen; resizing them, or letting them scale automatically, cuts cost without hurting performance.

Will cost optimisation affect performance?

It shouldn't. Backendz checks performance data before resizing anything and monitors it after each change. Any change that affects performance is rolled back.

Do you need full access to our cloud account?

No. The review needs read-only access to billing and usage data. Changes are only made after you approve them, with the access level you choose.
