Faster and more productive analytics

Sapien understands your data and business context upfront, enabling teams to analyze faster, reuse logic, and focus on insight instead of rebuilding work.

Go deeper and create insight

Sapien goes beyond surface-level reporting by breaking performance into clear drivers, root causes, and quantified impact you can trust.

Explore data you haven’t even tapped yet

Sapien makes it easy to investigate new data sources and dimensions by automatically understanding structure and relationships across your systems.

Analytics + Business Context and Judgement

Sapien is designed to work the way the world’s best business analysts do: by building context, asking disciplined questions, and following logic to defensible conclusions. Each module reflects a step in that analytical process, working together as a single, cohesive system.

01

Connect

Establish durable, live access to operational and financial data so all analysis runs on current, governed sources — not one-off extracts.

  • Connect ERP, warehouse, and operational systems through reusable connectors
  • Sync source data continuously to keep analysis and dashboards current
  • Support structured finance, manufacturing, supply chain, and market data
  • Reuse connectors across environments and entities
  • Stand up new integrations in hours or days

Teach

Create shared structure, meaning, and business context so data reflects how the company actually operates and thinks.

  • Map company structure, entities, segments, and performance metrics
  • Teach Sapien table, column, and field meaning in natural language
  • Define hierarchies, rollups, and drill-down paths
  • Capture definitions, formulas, and assumptions as reusable knowledge
  • Centralize business logic that normally lives in people's heads

Inquire

Ask disciplined analytical questions in natural language and receive structured, explainable outputs — not just answers.

  • Ask business questions in plain English across all connected data
  • Run multiple investigative questions in parallel
  • Switch between direct answers, driver analysis, and exploration modes
  • Drill into charts, tables, and calculations interactively
  • Save insights and build chains of investigation over time

Verify

Explain what changed, why it changed, and how much it mattered through traceable causal analysis.

  • Decompose outcomes across time, entities, and operational dimensions
  • Isolate root causes behind trends and anomalies
  • Connect operational drivers to financial results
  • Quantify the impact of each driver
  • Preserve transparent calculation paths for audit and review
