Runs on top of the finance stack you already have

Keep your cards. Keep your bank. Lumora finds the leakage anyway.

Lumora connects to the systems you already run — cards, AP, accounting, reimbursements, SaaS, and AI usage — and surfaces duplicate vendors, shadow tools, unused seats, and off-policy spend. You get a personal, CFO-ready leakage map catered specifically to you, with a clear view of the savings that actually reach the P&L.

A 30-minute, finance-led call to map your AI & SaaS leakage and scope a 7-day Leakage Map. No card migration.

You know there's spend leakage. Catching it shouldn't require a forensic audit.

Teams are adopting software and spinning up instances faster than flat ledgers can track. By the time you reconcile the month-end statements, the damage to the P&L is already done.

Blind spots in decentralized spend

Your teams are swiping existing cards for new tools every week. Seat counts creep up and rogue vendors bypass procurement, creating invisible leakage.

Paying twice for the same capability

Marketing expenses a subscription while Engineering pays for the API. Without relationship-aware analytics, you lack the visibility to consolidate overlapping contracts.

Policies without enforcement teeth

You publish spend guidelines, but without a proactive control layer, enforcement is manual. You can't forecast anomalies or intervene before the transaction clears.

The unprovable ROI gap

You negotiate discounts or tighten limits, but struggle to prove the net effect on the P&L. Measuring the exact impact of prevented spend remains a guessing game.

What this solves

A control layer for spend that escapes normal finance review.

Lumora helps finance teams answer practical questions: which teams are buying unapproved tools, which vendors overlap, which policies would reduce avoidable spend, and which controls are worth activating.

  • Shadow SaaS and AI subscriptions
  • Duplicate vendors and overlapping contracts
  • Policy exceptions across cards, AP, and reimbursement data
  • CFO-ready attribution for modeled and enforced controls
The honest comparison

Ramp and Brex run your spend. Lumora watches all of it — including theirs.

Ramp, Brex, and Concur are strong inside their own rails — cards, expenses, bill pay. Lumora is the neutral layer across everything else you already use: existing cards, AP, reimbursements, accounting, SaaS, contracts, and AI usage. No migration required.

The point is not another finance system to migrate into. The point is a neutral savings layer that shows where AI and SaaS spend is leaking, what policy would change it, and whether the control is worth activating.

Keep Ramp. Keep Brex. Keep Amex. Keep your bank. Lumora finds the leakage anyway.

Control Layer Capabilities

Product capabilities

Built for CFOs who need more than dashboards. You need detection, enforcement, and attribution.

Data Layer

Self-Healing Multi-Rail Intake

Plugs into your existing corporate cards, AP, and HRIS. Idempotent, replayable pipelines self-heal data feeds so you never lose visibility.

Zero card migration / Idempotent ingestion / Automated backfills

Detection

Shadow Radar & Protection Graph

Moves beyond flat ledgers by mapping relationships between employees, departments, and vendors to catch shadow IT and anomalous behavior instantly.

Graph-driven detectors / Relationship-aware analytics / Employee spend profiles

Intelligence

Explainable AI & Shadow Tags

No black-box algorithms. Every detection emits a deterministic tag (e.g., [Duplicate Subscription]), creating an audit-ready primitive for policy enforcement.

Common questions

What Lumora is, who it helps, and when to use it

Short answers for finance teams focused on AI/SaaS leakage, fast leak mapping, and stack-preserving cost reduction.

What does Lumora do?
Lumora is a spend-leakage reduction layer for finance teams. It connects to existing cards, AP, accounting, reimbursements, SaaS, and AI usage data so teams can detect shadow spend, model controls, and prove realized savings without migrating card or finance stack.
Is Lumora spend management software?
Yes, but Lumora is specifically focused on AI/SaaS leakage reduction and corporate spend controls. It helps teams govern spend across existing cards, AP, accounting, reimbursements, SaaS, and AI data instead of replacing card, AP, or T&E platforms.
Does Lumora help with card policy automation?
Lumora helps finance teams model card policy changes, review exceptions, and activate controls with human approval. It is useful when a company wants card policy automation and audit trails without forcing employees onto a new card issuer.
Can Lumora help with SaaS spend management?
Lumora can help identify shadow SaaS, overlapping subscriptions, ungoverned AI tools, and policy exceptions. It does not replace a SaaS admin console or contract management system, but it gives finance teams a governance view across SaaS spend and other spend rails.
Who is Lumora best for?
Lumora is built for teams that already have working cards, AP, accounting, and SaaS data in place, but need better visibility across AI tools, vendor overlap, and policy exceptions.
Do we have to switch cards to use Lumora?
No. Lumora is designed to run on top of the card, accounting, HRIS, and SaaS systems a company already uses.
Will Lumora work with every card issuer or ERP?
No finance tool can guarantee every stack before review. Lumora is designed for existing card, accounting, HRIS, SaaS feeds, and CSV imports, and the team confirms specific card issuers, ERPs, and source systems during onboarding before a pilot goes live.

Enterprise security & governance

Built for CFOs who need reviewable controls: tenant-aware access, tracked policy changes, and clear evidence behind important decisions.

Security review before pilot

We share current security posture during evaluation and do not claim certifications before they are complete.

Multi-tenant isolation

Customer data segregated at database and application layers. Zero cross-tenant access.

Encryption at rest and in transit

Data protection requirements are reviewed during onboarding, including encryption, access controls, and vendor security posture.

Audit-ready event logs

Policy changes, authorization decisions, and sensitive workflow events are designed to be reviewable and replayable.

Role-based access control (RBAC)

Granular permissions, approval workflows, and principle of least privilege.

Backup and disaster recovery

Backup, recovery, and availability requirements are handled during implementation planning and security review.

Evaluation posture

Security and governance items we can review before a pilot

Read-only review path
Tenant-aware access
Audit-ready event logs
Human-approved controls

Human-in-the-loop by design

Lumora recommends, but you decide. All high-impact policy changes require explicit approval. Guardrails prevent runaway automation.

Simulate first

Test policy changes in sandbox mode before applying to production.

Approval workflows

CFO or Finance team approves all material policy changes.

Instant rollback

One-click policy reversal if outcomes don't match expectations.
