Credentials
Built on decades of turning messy spend data into savings for the world's largest companies.
"
We spent twenty years watching companies wait for someone else to build their spend cube. Pulse exists because we built what we wished existed - a real-time engine that puts visibility and opportunity in your hands the moment you upload.- The SPIN founders
Who Pulse is for
Three jobs to be done. One engine that does them.
Pulse is built for three audiences with different timelines, different decisions, and different ways of measuring success. Pick the one that sounds like you - each has a deeper view below.
Enterprise · Procurement & Finance
The spend answers a CFO keeps asking for.
Procurement and finance teams shouldn't wait weeks for someone else to build the cube. Pulse turns AP data into spend visibility and a savings thesis - self-serve, in time for the next planning cycle.
Learn more →PE · Deal Team · Diligence
A defensible savings thesis. Before you sign.
Diligence teams need savings sized, defensible, and IC-ready - on a deal timeline, not a consulting timeline. Pulse builds the cube and the thesis before close, for a flat price you can expense.
Learn more →PE · Operating Team · Portfolio
The leverage hiding in five disconnected portcos.
Operating teams manage value creation across a portfolio you can't see as one thing. Pulse builds a cube per company and rolls them into one fund-level view - surfacing leverage no single portco can unlock on its own.
Learn more →For Enterprise Procurement & Finance
Spend answers, on your timeline. Not someone else's.
Procurement and finance teams know exactly which questions the CFO asks every quarter - and they shouldn't need to wait for a consulting engagement to answer them. Upload AP data; Pulse builds the cube and the savings thesis self-serve.
Pulse · upgrade for the deeper analysis
01
The cube, on demand
Drop your AP export - Pulse builds the cube the moment your file lands. No waiting for BI, no scoping with an analytics vendor. The 'where does our money go?' question gets a real answer this afternoon, not next quarter.
02
A thesis your CFO trusts
Pulse sizes the savings opportunity at the addressable portion of your spend - not theoretical savings against everything. The number you bring to budget conversations is one you can defend line by line.
03
In time for the next cycle
Annual planning, mid-year reviews, budget defense, board prep - Pulse lands a credible cube and savings thesis on a planning timeline, not a procurement-software-implementation timeline. Sign up, upload, in by Friday.
"
We spent twenty years watching procurement and finance teams answer the same question - "where does our money go and where can we save?" - by waiting for someone else to build the cube. Pulse exists so they can answer it themselves, on their own timeline.- The SPIN founders
For PE Deal Teams · Diligence
Months of consulting, or one lunch break.
Upload the target's AP data. Get a validated spend cube and a savings thesis before you close - the same kind of cube and category brief we built dozens of times across $3T of spend, now delivered self-serve.
Any target · expensable · converts post-close
01
Cube + thesis · before you close
Drop the target's AP export - Pulse cleanses, normalizes, classifies, and builds the opportunity assessment the moment it lands. You close the diligence loop without waiting for an external team to build the cube for you.
02
One-time, predictable
No procurement, no SOW, no haggling. Time-boxed to a single diligence pass. Converts to a portfolio subscription post-close if you want to bring the cube into value creation.
03
A thesis · not a guarantee
Pulse delivers visibility and a savings thesis to inform diligence. The Validation step lets you calibrate addressability honestly - we don't model what we wouldn't underwrite ourselves.
"
We watched too many funds buy what they couldn't yet measure. Pulse exists so the diligence team has a credible spend cube - and a savings thesis they can defend in IC - before they sign.- The SPIN founders
For PE Operating Teams · Portfolio
Every portco's spend. One picture of the fund.
Upload AP data for every portco in the portfolio. Pulse builds a spend picture per company and a roll-up across the fund - supplier overlaps, category overlaps, side-by-side benchmarks, and fund-level leverage deals you can't see one portco at a time.
Tailored deployment · scoped per fund · built around your portfolio shape
01
Leverage across the fund
Suppliers that appear in 4+ portcos, categories where you spend $25M+ combined - Pulse flags fund-level leverage deal candidates with addressability-adjusted savings ranges. Volume your portcos can't unlock on their own.
02
Benchmark across portcos
Compare spend, category mix, supplier concentration, and opportunity across every portco in the portfolio. Spot the outlier portco, find the best-practice operator, target the right add-ons.
03
Built for the hold period
Add a portco when you acquire one. Replace its data when you re-export. The cube grows with the portfolio across 4 to 7 year holds - you're never re-implementing.
"
We watched too many funds fly blind across their own portfolios. The data is sitting in five different AP systems - the leverage is in seeing it as one. Pulse is what we wished we'd had when we ran portfolio operations ourselves.- The SPIN founders
