About Suplari
Our vision at Suplari is to democratize AI and data in the enterprise to give everyone the ability to impact the future of work. Suplari makes it EASY for TEAMS to make faster and better financial & strategic decisions by connecting disparate data, automating analysis, and enabling collaboration and accountability. Our software delivers actionable insights from a company’s spend and procurement data by leveraging AI and visualizes these tailored recommendations and data trends in a clean, user-friendly interface. Customers realize hard dollar cost savings, increase team productivity and effectively manage supplier compliance and risks that are often hidden within millions of data points and would take hours of manpower and bales of clunky spreadsheets to uncover.

Suplari is truly making an impact for clients such as Nordstrom, 21st Century Fox, and Hulu, (just to name a few) and we’re just getting started. We aim to “share the wealth” by providing businesses with the tools to reduce spend, mitigate risk and increase compliance, and we need your help! Suplari’s products are on the cutting edge of AI in procurement and cloud computing.
