Datricks, an AI-driven financial integrity and compliance software startup based in Tel Aviv, Israel, has successfully raised $15 million in a Series A funding round led by Team8, a prominent venture capital firm. The round also saw participation from tech behemoth SAP and existing investor Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP).
Co-founded in 2019 by CEO Haim Halpern and CTO Roy Rozenblum, Datricks emerged from a consulting background to focus on “risk mining,” a groundbreaking AI approach that autonomously analyzes financial workflows across leading business systems such as SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce. "Transitioning from a consulting company with about 500 consultants to a scalable software firm was a strategic move for us," stated Rozenblum in a recent video interview.
The Datricks Financial Integrity Platform is engineered to detect financial anomalies, fraud patterns, and compliance issues, delivering real-time insights to safeguard companies against potential financial and reputational harm. The new funding will enhance Datricks' operational capabilities and advance its platform, helping large enterprises navigate the increasingly complicated global regulatory landscape.
Addressing Critical Gaps in Financial Risk Management
According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, organizations lose an estimated 5% of their revenue to fraud each year, translating to approximately $4.7 trillion in global losses. Traditional compliance and auditing processes frequently fail to identify these vulnerabilities, exposing firms to costly schemes. Datricks aims to fill this void by offering continuous, real-time monitoring of all financial data within an organization, thus ensuring higher accuracy and fewer false positives.
“For CFOs, trust in financial data is crucial," Rozenblum explained. "Fraud, compliance issues, and human error can result in significant financial losses."
Datricks mitigates these challenges through automation, focusing on three core components:
1. Autonomous Process Discovery: Datricks continuously analyzes financial processes without manual input. This feature maps out workflows in real-time, identifying anomalies and uncovering root causes. "We monitor processes in real-time and pinpoint issues as they arise," Rozenblum described.
2. Integrity Exposure Detection: The platform’s AI analyzes all business transactions in the context of financial processes, highlighting critical threats, such as fraud and compliance gaps, before they escalate. "Our real-time analysis of ERP systems allows us to swiftly identify anomalies," he noted.
3. Integrity Intelligence: Finance leaders gain insights via a comprehensive control interface that highlights key financial health indicators. Datricks’ dashboards enable quick responses to issues, ensuring peak financial performance. "We aim to deliver insights directly to users for prompt action," Rozenblum added.
The platform requires no configuration and begins risk identification within a week of connecting to an organization’s systems. "We issue a 'seven-day challenge' to showcase our capability to deliver actionable insights swiftly," Rozenblum remarked.
Leveraging Advanced AI Models
Datricks employs various large language models (LLMs) and multimodal AI models to enhance its services. Rozenblum noted, "Our unique approach, termed ‘risk mining,’ tracks processes to detect anomalies." Future developments include an AI agent designed to provide human-like explanations of issues rather than basic data presentations.
By leveraging Amazon Bedrock, Datricks utilizes AI models tailored to customer preferences for training and inferences.
Saving Enterprises Millions
Datricks has already made a significant impact, helping clients avoid financial pitfalls. One notable instance involved uncovering $2 million in non-compliant payments due to a conflict of interest in the approval process. The platform is effective at detecting double billing and other costly errors. "We assist in preventing costly mistakes that could severely impact financial outcomes," Rozenblum stressed.
Datricks allows companies to quickly identify and address issues through real-time monitoring and automated detection, producing dashboards that detail the root causes of problems.
Growing Clientele and Strong Partnerships
Datricks' solutions have been embraced by enterprises like Element Solutions, HELLA FORVIA, Teva, CyberArk, and ICL Group. The company has also partnered with major consulting firms, including Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC, analyzing over $1 trillion in transactions and preventing hundreds of millions in losses.
The participation of SAP in the Series A funding round highlights the startup's significance in the enterprise software landscape. "SAP's involvement reflects their confidence in our solution," Rozenblum mentioned.
This funding follows an expansion of Datricks' collaboration with SAP, including the integration of its Risk Mining solution as an SAP Endorsed App. Dr. Gero Decker from SAP noted, "Their solution facilitates proactive risk mitigation and ensures continuous financial compliance."
The Future of Risk Mining with Datricks
With support from Team8, SAP, and JVP, Datricks is well-positioned to revolutionize financial risk management for large organizations. Gadi Porat from JVP emphasized the company's potential for delivering exceptional efficiencies to Fortune 500 clients.
As digital transformation accelerates and financial data volumes increase, Datricks aims to equip enterprises with the necessary tools to stay ahead of potential risks, maintaining financial integrity and compliance in a rapidly evolving business environment.
