Our take
The rise of automation software has proven a real boon for handling the various time-consuming administrative tasks that keep professionals away from the work they’re trained to do best. Alkymi is one of the startups developing it, with a focus on assisting analysts in the financial services sector.
The Alkymi data workflow automation platform offers two products that help analysts extract and act upon unstructured business data in emails and documents. It can be easily customised, allowing users to leverage the benefit of machine learning and computer vision - without needing deep expertise in the area. This chimes with a broader no-code movement in the SaaS market, as startups look for lucrative ways to help companies manage the tech talent shortage.
Alkymi has focused initially on financial services because of the vast amounts of data processing that analysts in the sector have to do each day. It’s a significant drain on time and resources, but it’s an issue that extends equally to other verticals. Beginning with the more complex use case will allow Alkymi to more readily expand to other sectors as it releases new products and develops its current range.
