In their words

Sanifu automates the repetitive work spreadsheets are used for. Teams across finance, marketing, operations, and revenue simply describe their repetitive work like cleaning and validating data, matching records, preparing reports and moving data from emails, PDFs and Excel exports into dashboards and other systems. Sanifu captures the steps, rules and outputs so the work is repeated reliably every time Some of these work never needed spreadsheets to begin with; the likes of data cleanup, bank reconciliations, report consolidation, payment allocations, channel attributions. Spreadsheets have become the standard workbench for handling these tasks and in the process, teams lose valuable time doing manual data entry, filling templates, formatting data, applying formulas, deleting rows or columns. Sanifu is replacing the spreadsheet while maintaining the logic and processes behind the work, getting you from inputs to your desired outputs in seconds. This significantly reduces time spent on copy-paste work, spreadsheet cleanup, and manual entries and checking, while improving accuracy, consistency, and operational visibility. Sanifu helps teams scale critical back-office processes without relying on brittle spreadsheets, scripts, or general AI tools that reinvent the logic every run. Sanifu is a full operational platform with 5k+ app integrations, 1k+ native functions, forms, scheduler, data stores, dashboards, approvals, reviews, AI-powered entity matching among many other features that make it an end-to-end data app management platform
