Suplari’s enterprise insights system connects and monitors complex and disparate enterprise data sets, creating meaningful insights that help optimize financial performance. In conjunction with its data science team, strategic partners, and customers, Suplari has developed a comprehensive library of Insights Applications that continuously analyze and monitor enterprise data, proactively detecting opportunities to enhance IT, financial health, and business critical key performance indicators. This library, which includes more than 60 insights, allows customers to better manage supplier performance, budgets and forecasting, contract renewals, purchasing card, travel and expense compliance, and more.

“There is significant value in a company’s data, yet this data tends to be inaccessible and unactionable due to current data silos and outdated enterprise systems,” said Nikesh Parekh, CEO and co-founder of Suplari. “We’ve been helping customers with complex data and systems to drive improved financial performance. Suplari delivers continuous and proactive insights to optimize IT, financial health and business critical KPIs.  Our library of insights continues to grow and so does the value delivered to our customers.”
