The Series A investment round for KYP.ai reflects its momentum on five continents serving the technology, insurance, healthcare, utilities, business process outsourcing (BPO) and logistics sectors. The Productivity 360 platform provides organisation-wide, live visibility at scale across all business software platforms and systems, generating real-time insights to boost productivity in a challenging macroeconomic environment, saving customers on average $2.7M. 

KYP.ai deploys its AI-powered enterprise software to collect organisations’ data for productivity insights on people, process and technology, resulting in ROI typically within three months. Processing high volume, real-time data, KYP.ai demonstrates a strong track record of delivering a 34% increase in process automation and 26% cost optimisation.
