Our mission at Suplari is to shine the light on waste so that companies can invest in growth, innovation and their people. Our software delivers actionable insights from a company’s spend and procurement data by leveraging machine learning and AI, and visualizes these tailored recommendations and data trends in a clean, user-friendly interface. Customers realize hard dollar cost savings and effectively manage supplier 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.
