    Executive Summary

    A modern FinOps SaaS platform built from the ground up by Angular Minds to help organizations gain clarity, control, and confidence over their multi-cloud spending. Designed for finance teams, cloud resellers, and managed service providers, the platform delivers AI-driven cost insights across AWS and Azure, with GCP on the roadmap. A comprehensive partner center enables resellers to manage customer portfolios, billing, and procurement from a single interface. Today, it manages over USD 2.5 million in combined cloud spend, enabling better financial governance, faster optimization decisions, and streamlined partner operations.

    Project Overview

    This FinOps-focused SaaS platform was designed to help organizations gain deep visibility into their cloud spending, optimize costs, and make informed financial decisions across multiple cloud providers.

    Angular Minds partnered on this project from day zero, transforming an initial idea into a full-fledged, production-ready platform used by finance teams, engineering leaders, and resellers managing cloud spend at scale.

    The Challenge

    As organizations scale on cloud platforms like AWS and Azure, cloud costs grow rapidly but visibility often does not keep pace.

    Before this platform, teams faced several recurring challenges:

    • Finance teams lacked clear and reliable visibility into cloud spending
    • Cost data was fragmented across multiple accounts and providers
    • Savings opportunities such as commitments and optimizations were difficult to identify
    • Executive stakeholders struggled to get high-level financial insights
    • Resellers and managed service providers lacked a centralized FinOps view for their customers

    FinOps was becoming a critical function, but existing tools were either too complex, too rigid, or not designed for multi-tenant and reseller-driven models.

    Our Approach

    From the outset, our goal was to build a scalable, secure, and intuitive FinOps platform, not just a reporting tool. We focused on four core principles:

    Finance-first design

    Insights needed to be meaningful for finance teams, not just engineers.

    Multi-cloud by design

    AWS and Azure support from day one, with GCP planned as part of the roadmap.

    Reseller and multi-tenant readiness

    Built to support partners managing multiple customers and cloud environments.

    Enterprise-grade security

    Strong isolation, secure credential handling, and cloud-native scalability.

    The Solution: A Unified FinOps Platform

    We built a centralized platform that connects directly with customer cloud environments to deliver actionable cost intelligence. Key capabilities include:

    • Cloud cost analysis across AWS and Azure
    • Spend breakdowns by service, account, and usage patterns
    • AI-powered anomaly detection and optimization recommendations
    • Savings insights for commitments and optimizations
    • Executive dashboards for leadership-level visibility
    • Governance and policy controls to drive cost accountability
    • Multi-tenant and reseller support for managed environments

    The platform serves multiple personas, from finance teams and executives to cloud engineers and resellers.

    AI-Driven Cost Intelligence

    At the core of the platform is an OpenAI GPT-powered analysis engine that transforms raw cloud billing data into actionable financial intelligence. What previously required days of manual spreadsheet analysis now happens in minutes, with recommendations that finance and engineering teams can act on immediately.

    Savings Analysis

    The AI engine evaluates Reserved Instance utilization, Savings Plan coverage gaps, and rightsizing opportunities across all connected accounts. It identifies underused commitments, flags expiring reservations, and recommends optimal purchasing strategies based on actual usage patterns rather than static thresholds.

    Cost Analysis

    Spending is broken down by account, service, and category with AI-generated narratives that explain cost movements in plain language. Instead of teams manually comparing month-over-month figures, the system surfaces what changed, why it changed, and whether it needs attention.

    Anomaly Detection

    The platform continuously monitors spending patterns and flags unusual cost spikes or drops before they become budget surprises. It learns from historical data to distinguish between expected seasonal changes and genuine anomalies that require investigation.

    Usage Optimization

    Provider-specific optimization recommendations are generated for both AWS and Azure, covering compute rightsizing, storage tier adjustments, and idle resource cleanup. Each recommendation includes estimated savings and implementation effort, helping teams prioritize high-impact changes.

    Custom Prompt Engineering

    We built a custom prompt engineering layer that translates cloud billing structures into context-rich queries for the AI model. This ensures recommendations account for the specific nuances of each provider's pricing models, discount programs, and commitment types rather than producing generic suggestions.

    Secure Cloud Integrations

    Security was a non-negotiable requirement. The platform integrates with cloud providers using secure, least-privilege access patterns. Credentials and sensitive data are protected using strong encryption and access controls, ensuring customer environments remain isolated and secure at all times.

    This approach allows the platform to scale confidently while meeting enterprise security expectations.

    Reseller and Partner Center

    A key differentiator of the platform is its comprehensive partner center, purpose-built for cloud resellers and managed service providers. This enables partners to manage their entire customer portfolio from a single interface.

    Customer Management

    • Flexible account hierarchy supporting reseller, managed, and standard account types
    • Guided customer onboarding with multi-step wizards for AWS and Azure credentials
    • Unified customer dashboard with status tracking, active users, and cloud account visibility
    • Azure Partner Center integration with automated customer linking and data synchronization

    Financial Management

    The platform provides end-to-end financial management capabilities tailored for reseller operations:

    • Credits management with passthrough percentages, expiry tracking, and AWS BCM sync
    • Configurable reseller and product-level discounts including EDP support
    • Consolidated billing with monthly tracking and full transaction audit trails
    • Billable contract management for Reserved Instances and Savings Plans

    Procurement and Commitments

    • Centralized procurement requests for Savings Plans and Reserved Instances
    • Approval workflows with reviewer tracking and status management

    Built for Scale and Growth

    Designed as a cloud-native SaaS platform capable of onboarding and managing large cloud estates, it currently manages over USD 2.5 million in combined AWS and Azure cloud spend, with GCP support under active development.

    The architecture supports:

    • Rapid onboarding of new customers
    • Seamless expansion across cloud providers
    • Growing data volumes without performance degradation

    Outcomes and Impact

    The impact has been measurable across multiple dimensions:

    • Improved cost visibility for finance and leadership teams
    • Faster identification of savings opportunities
    • Reduced manual effort in cost tracking and reporting
    • Better collaboration between finance and engineering teams
    • Simplified FinOps operations for resellers managing multiple customers

    By centralizing cloud financial data and insights, the platform enables organizations to move from reactive cost monitoring to proactive financial governance.
