Funding
Mithra-Ai develops SaaS software that enables procurement teams (with a large supply base) to get spend visibility 100x faster by capturing, cleansing and allocating transactional spend data to the right categories, even with limited data points available. More complete, accurate, and enriched spend data leads to more intelligence where new opportunities can be executed while helping buyers with better insights during their negotiations and strategic planning. Mithra-Ai integrates machine learning with human-guided feedback and augmentation to keep spend data clean and classified accurately with every new transaction.
Mithra-Ai is transforming the strategic procurement function across multiple industries by developing proprietary Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms together with user centric UX design. The technology will be applied across different industries for direct and indirect spend optimizations and help companies to save millions in spend.
Arash Saberi: “The investment from Innovatiefonds Noord-Holland will be used to develop a unique technical capability to associate & harmonize different spend profiles across different entities of multinational organizations and also across different companies and even industries (at specific spend categories). Spend Synergy capability is cracking a key data problem that many procurement teams face and will release the potential for optimizing spend ‘holistically’ ensuring compliance with an organization or group of organizations or industries which helps to create win–win decisions and avoid sub-optimization, with an impactful contribution to our planet”.
Christophe Frère: “During the Proof of Concept, we will further develop the Spend Synergy capability to incorporate feedback from users with the goal to deploy it across many industries and organizations of different sizes”.
Wouter Keij: “The innovation Mithra-Ai is developing can create a big impact across different industries. The funding will allow the team to further integrate and develop their algorithms into a new platform“.
