sapien

“We’ve brought critical financial analysis forward by months, and that gives us time to spot risks and opportunities early so we can actually do something about them.”

“Sapien is productizing the cutting edge of AI research for CFOs, with the opportunity to truly revolutionize how finance teams operate.”

“We have a new term now at Blink. We say, ‘Can you Sapien it?”

“Now shop leaders aren't beholden to a static daily report. They can view their business over any span of time, which is invaluable.”

“We can answer volume, mix, channel, customer, and price questions—things we really couldn't do before Sapien.”

“I can click on that number and it drills down and tells me exactly which general ledger it’s pulling from. That’s a level of trust I’ve never seen from another AI.”

“In the first six weeks, we’ve added about a half million dollars in bottom line. Annualized, it’s somewhere around $5 or $6 million.”

“It understands how we actually operate as a business, how our sales are generated, how pricing is set up, how our different sales channels actually work.”

“As you ask me questions, I'm just asking Sapien. I offloaded that middleman work. It's like the hockey-stick point in the chart where the companies take off .”

“Sapien is a scale enabler. You hook Sapien up and the CFO or VP of Finance might not need to build a team out of the gate.”

“It was so simple, a fraction of the time we spent on an implementation . We hooked it up to NetSuite and Databricks and it started doing its own learning, looking at the relationships between data tables.”

“For the first six weeks we've measured, we've added about a half million dollars in bottom line. Annualized, it's somewhere around $5 or $6 million.”

“From my seat as the CEO, Sapien is part of my team , part of my organization. They can present better options, and I can make better decisions.”

“We never looked at Sapien as a way to replace any individuals. We've grown our data analytics capabilities and teams. I've added two new folks to my team this year to use data to find opportunities to grow the business.”

“We gave it to one of our customer-service reps and said, 'When this customer puts in an order, compare it to what they've ordered and what Sapien sees.' She went back to the customer with products they could add. In less than 24 hours, she got another order, and it ended up being a third larger than it would have been.”

“The biggest change Sapien brings to finance isn't simply doing the same analysis faster. It's allowing us to perform analyses we previously wouldn't have attempted , discover relationships we might not have thought to look for, and put that capability directly into the hands of people throughout the organization.”

“We started the relationship from a cold call, so there was zero trust on day one. Once we saw the proof of concept, that this thing really is doing what we already do, that was a huge threshold. We had a baseline: we can trust this .”

“Sapien allows us to analyze what is driving profitability at levels of detail that previously would have taken an immense amount of time... Sapien can identify relationships in the data and point you toward questions that a person might not have known to ask.”

“We were looking at a positive variance, but it drove us toward a negative one we weren't even worried about. That was a $1.5 million opportunity we found through this tool that we would never have looked at through the normal analysis. It took 20 minutes.”

“Sapien reduces my workload answering important but low enterprise impact questions as a team of one. Now shop leaders aren't beholden to a static daily report. They can view their business over any span of time, which is invaluable.”
