Calero Software
Calero Software is a provider of telecom expense management and SaaS optimization platforms, helping enterprises control communications costs.
Calero Software
Calero Software, headquartered in Rochester, New York, was founded with a focus on telecom expense management (TEM) and later expanded into software asset management and SaaS optimization. The firm's platform helps enterprises manage mobile, fixed-line, and cloud communications spending, a niche that has grown as companies adopt more distributed work models (per industry reports). The company offers a suite of tools covering invoice management, usage analytics, contract compliance, and device lifecycle management. Calero serves mid-market to enterprise clients across sectors including healthcare, finance, retail, and government. The platform integrates with major carriers and SaaS providers to automate procurement and cost allocation (per the firm's official communications). Calero maintains a presence in North America, with additional offices in the United Kingdom and possibly Europe. The firm has expanded through acquisitions, including the purchase of TEM competitor MDSL in 2018, which broadened its international footprint (per TEM industry sources, 2018). No recent operational events are publicly documented apart from continued product updates. The firm's total professionals or AUM is not disclosed in public records. Calero's structural differentiation lies in its pure-play focus on telecom and SaaS cost optimization—a specialized vertical within the broader enterprise software market. Unlike large IT asset management suites, Calero focuses narrowly on communications expenses, enabling deeper integrations with telecom carriers and more granular invoice auditing. This specialization has allowed it to survive alongside larger players like ServiceNow and Snow Software.
