Martech Stack Audit

A structured, written review of what you run, what it costs, where it overlaps, and where it is missing something - with no vendor commission attached to the outcome.

What the audit covers

A martech stack audit answers four questions in writing: what do you actually run, what does each platform cost against what it delivers, where is the overlap, and where is the gap.

1. Inventory

Every platform in the stack, contract terms, renewal dates, and who inside the org actually owns and uses it day to day.

2. Integration mapping

How data actually moves between systems today - not how the architecture diagram says it should move. This is usually where the surprises are.

3. Gap and redundancy analysis

Where two tools are doing the same job (redundancy, a cost problem) and where a needed capability has no owner at all (a gap, a risk problem).

4. A prioritized fix list

Ranked by effort and impact, not just a list of everything wrong - with which fixes are a configuration change and which require a new platform.

What triggers an audit

The most common triggers we see: a vendor renewal coming up with no clear justification, a merger or acquisition merging two stacks, attribution numbers that stopped reconciling, or a new martech leader inheriting a stack nobody fully documented.

What you get at the end

A written report: the inventory, the integration map, the gap/redundancy findings, and the prioritized recommendations - in a format built to survive being handed to a CFO or a board, not just a slide deck for the marketing team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a martech audit?

A martech audit is a structured review of every platform in your marketing technology stack: what it costs, who owns it, what it actually does, how it connects to everything else, and whether it is still earning its place.

How long does a martech stack audit take?

It depends on stack size and how well-documented the current state is. A single-brand stack with a handful of core platforms is a materially smaller engagement than a multi-brand enterprise estate with years of undocumented integrations. Scope is set after an intake call, not before.

What is the difference between a martech audit and a martech assessment?

In practice these terms are used interchangeably. Where a distinction is drawn, an "assessment" sometimes implies a lighter-touch maturity scoring exercise, while an "audit" implies the full inventory-and-gap-analysis engagement described on this page - but the terms are not standardized across the industry.

Do you get a commission from the vendors you recommend?

No. This is the entire point of an independent audit - the recommendation is not paid for by the outcome.

Suspect Your Stack Has Drifted?

Tell us what triggered the question - a renewal, a merger, or numbers that stopped adding up - and we will scope the audit from there.
