Your team’s analytical capacity, multiplied.

Connect your data, teach Sapien your business, and get structured analytical output — traceable to the source row.

01

Connect to your data as it actually exists

On-prem ERPs, legacy systems, budget spreadsheets, or data warehouses. No complex ETL or migrations and no data engineering before you see value. Agents handle the heavy lifting to enable onboarding in hours.

Sapien learns your business, not just your schema

Sapien builds a persistent model of your company — its structure, priorities, industry, and language. Every analysis starts from that context and Sapien learns more over time, compounding capabilities.

The full analytical process, not just a query

Decomposes drivers by impact and explains why. Structured analytical output that used to take a team of analysts to produce.

Integrations

Connect to anything. Understand everything.

Sapien’s Tabular Reasoning Model natively understands any structured data like a human does; minimal connectors to configure, no schemas to map.

Cloud ERPs, on-prem databases untouched since the 90s, disjoint warehouse exports—we've seen everything. If it has rows and columns, Sapien reasons over it.

Built with security, governance, and trust at our core

We never train on your data

Your data powers insights for your team only. Never shared across customers. Never used to train or fine-tune any model.

Row-level RBAC + knowledge governance

Fine-grained access controls ensure every user sees only the data and analyses they’re authorized for.

Complete auditability

Every action logged. Every query traceable. Access logs, query history, and full data lineage available on demand.

How we compare

Not another dashboard. Not another chatbot.

BI tools visualize. FP&A tools plan. LLMs answer one-off questions. Sapien does the analytical thinking — driver decomposition, root-cause isolation, and traceable output that compounds over time.

BI Tools

Shows what happened. Never why. Every new question is a new project.

No driver decomposition or root-cause analysis
Months to build. Breaks when schemas change.
Static dashboards — no proactive insight

FP&A Tools

Plans the budget. Can't explain why actuals missed. Finance-only silo.

Budget vs. actual — no price/volume/mix decomposition
12–16+ month implementations. Manual maintenance.
Finance-only silo — no operational linkage
Sapien

Sapien

Understands your business. Decomposes drivers. Traceable. Compounds over time.

Persistent business context that compounds every interaction
Every output traceable — full reasoning tree for audit
One platform for finance, ops, procurement — role-fit views

ERP Modules

Bolted onto your ERP. Limited to what the vendor built. Siloed from everything else.

Locked to one ERP's data model — no cross-system view
Rigid, vendor-controlled with months-long customization
No driver decomposition or proactive insight

Standard LLMs

Answers questions well. Context is per-user, outputs are one-off, nothing is auditable.

Per-user memory — not a governed knowledge layer
One-off outputs. Can't encode repeatable workflows.
No source traceability or structured export.

Industries

Proven impact across every industry.

Sapien in action

Decompose cost drivers across every plant, line, and SKU.
