Freshworks announced it will acquire Torii to integrate AI-driven spend governance into its Freshservice ITSM platform, aiming to improve enterprise software cost control and security compliance.

You must act to align your SaaS or ITSM product with AI cost transparency now or risk losing customers to platforms embedding fine-grained AI spend controls. This acquisition means Freshworks is racing ahead to lock in a market that turns IT costs into profit centres.
