eyko by business process
When spend runs over budget or a supplier price creeps up, someone has to stop and find out why. eyko finds the cause, keeps watching the suppliers and categories that matter, and answers the next question before it hits the margin.
Fewer surprises in the cost line, no manual digging through POs and invoices.
The four signal areas eyko watches across your Source-to-Pay position, live from your Source-to-Pay Pulse. Select one to explore.
Know what
PulsesA live Source-to-Pay Pulse watches spend, supplier performance, procurement controls and payables on a beat, and flags what moved before anyone asks.

How it works
Today a questioned number means days of reconciling purchase orders, receipts, invoices and supplier contracts. With eyko, the answer to one investigation becomes something that watches itself.
1 · Playbook
Run a Source-to-Pay Idea. eyko returns the ranked drivers behind the overspend or the supplier issue.
2 · Pin
One click turns the finding into a Pulse, so the same suppliers and categories are tracked on every beat.
3 · Pulse
The Pulse flags the moment a supplier price moves, off-contract spend returns or on-time delivery starts to slip.
4 · Conversation
Which suppliers? Which category? What if we consolidate the top five? Answered in seconds, from the same data.
A new question starts a new Playbook. The loop keeps procurement and finance out of manual investigation.

How many tail suppliers sell items we already have on contract?
About 380 of them, worth 6.2M of the 14M. Most sit in MRO and office supplies, where a preferred supplier already carries the same items.
Two suppliers joined the watch list this week. Six now show rising disruption risk, and two of them are single-source for critical categories.

Which production lines depend on the two single-source suppliers?
Three lines, all in assembly. The highest-volume line holds under two weeks of stock for one critical part.
Three signals crossed threshold since Monday. Off-contract spend is up to 14M, and two categories now hold most of it.

Which business units route around the preferred suppliers?
Three of them hold 71% of the off-contract spend. All three buy most of it on purchase cards, in the same two categories.
Exceptions are rising ahead of month end. 1,100 invoices are predicted to fail matching or approval, and 400 of them need a person.

What is behind the 400 that need review?
Mostly missing receipts. Two warehouses have not confirmed goods received on 230 of them, and most of those wait on one supplier.
Ideas for Procurement controls
Every Source-to-Pay Idea runs as a Playbook, pins to a Pulse and opens a Conversation.
Conversations
Once a Playbook or Pulse shows what moved, the business always wants more. Ask it in plain language and eyko answers from your purchasing, AP and supplier data, showing how it got there.
Why is indirect spend 8% over budget this quarter?
Three categories explain 74% of the overrun. Facilities, IT services and travel all grew off contract, mostly through purchase cards.
Choose the question you need answered. eyko runs it as a Playbook across spend, suppliers, procurement controls and payables.
Keep the findings that matter on a beat. Build a Source-to-Pay Pulse for the CFO or the procurement team in minutes.
When a Pulse flags a change, ask why, ask who, ask what if. Every answer shows its working.
No rip and replace. eyko reads purchasing, receiving, AP and supplier data straight from your ERP and procurement systems, alongside the data platform and BI tools you already use.
SOC 2 compliant. Your data stays in your environment.
FAQ
A Playbook investigates a question and finds the root cause. A Pulse keeps watching what the Playbook found and flags when it moves. A Conversation lets anyone ask a follow-on question about either, in plain language.
Yes. Any Playbook finding can be pinned to a Pulse in one click. The Pulse then tracks the same accounts, products and drivers on every beat and flags you when they move, so you do not have to rerun the investigation.
It is the layer above your procurement and AP reporting that explains where spend is leaking, which suppliers are about to disrupt you, and which invoices are about to get stuck. BI shows you last year's spend by category. eyko reads the signals across procurement, suppliers, and AP, finds the drivers, and returns a ranked Why and What Next. The goal is a decision, not just a dashboard.
A procurement suite runs the source-to-pay process: sourcing events, catalogs, purchase orders, invoice workflow. eyko sits alongside it and answers the analytical questions it does not, like which spend went off-contract, which suppliers are about to disrupt you, and which invoices will stick. Many teams run eyko on top of Coupa, Ariba, an ERP, or all three.
eyko reads from your ERP spend and AP, your procurement suite, the contracts and negotiated rates, and the supplier master, alongside the cloud data platform or BI tools you already use. There is no separate data project to start. eyko pulls from the systems you run, including SAP, SAP Ariba, Coupa, Oracle E-Business Suite, NetSuite, JD Edwards, Workday, and Snowflake.
eyko compares each purchase against your approved suppliers and negotiated contracts and flags the spend that ran outside them, paying list price where a contract rate exists. It quantifies the discount lost and shows where the off-contract spend concentrates by category and business unit, so procurement can redirect it onto contract.
Yes. eyko reads delivery slippage, quality trends, financial stress signals, and concentration together to flag the suppliers whose disruption risk is rising, and ranks them by impact so single-source critical suppliers surface first. That turns a backward-looking scorecard into an early warning, with time to qualify a second source.
No. eyko connects to your source systems directly and can also read from a warehouse if you have one. You do not need to build or finish a data platform before you see where spend is leaking or which suppliers carry risk.
Source-to-pay touches the rest of the business. These processes share the same signals.
