Bluecopa caters to enterprises across the globe with a vision to free up finance teams and empower them to focus on strategic finance.
MSR, CEO of T-Hub, said, “We are thrilled to support the team and vision of Bluecopa through our funding initiatives, enabling them to empower the finance leaders to make informed business decisions faster. We believe that Bluecopa has an incredible opportunity to transform the Fintech landscape with its powerful automation solution, enabling finance teams to focus not just on business growth and on accelerating it. Moreover, with the passionate founding team, growth trajectory and market position, it has significant potential to scale in the global market.”
Satya Prakash, Co-founder of Bluecopa, said, “With the proliferation of SaaS tools across organisations, real-time business observability is fragmented for finance teams, which means data to decision cycles are significantly high and error-prone. As a result, there is an increasing dependency on data teams, expensive and complex tools, and clunky Excel spreadsheets to understand business drivers. This is a hair-on-fire problem, particularly in high transaction volume industries such as e-commerce, logistics, financial services etc. Solving these aspects can increase sales by 20 per cent and profitability by 30 per cent. Bluecopa supports the 10 million finance community across the globe to significantly reduce time to decision cycles and focus on the numbers that matter.”
Anirvan Chowdhury, Vice President of Blume Ventures, added, “Having the right financial observability and signals is mission critical for companies with high transaction volumes in today’s age. We loved Bluecopa’s data-infra-focused approach to solving this critical problem for finance teams, which will be their key differentiator. With Satya having deep expertise in building a strong data infra product and getting a sizable exit to Apple, Neel’s strong credentials as an enterprise sales maestro, and Raghava’s hands-on experience in finance, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to solve a problem that every industry across all geographies is grappling with.”
