Bringing the Pieces Together for a World-Class Automation Infrastructure

Bluesheets was founded in 2020 by serial entrepreneurs and startup operators Christian Schneider (CEO) and Clare Leighton (COO). They started bluesheets to address the long-standing inefficiencies experienced by businesses when it comes to financial data consolidation, reconciliation and processing. These pain points still existed even with the existence of successful automation and integration platforms, most coming from the West, with many companies still unable to fully digitize workflows due to fragmented, incomplete tech stacks and the persistence of offline data records in business processes.

To address these pain points for companies, bluesheets built a platform that leverages APIs, powerful classification algorithms and machine learning techniques to ingest unstructured data at scale. Their platform provides businesses with a one-stop solution for processing financial data; connecting all their data sources to any destination automatically.

Importantly, their platform caters to a wide range of geographies, especially Southeast Asia, and a variety of use cases. With growing demand in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, bluesheets will continue to expand their use cases across claims, financing and beyond to capitalize on the large and immediate opportunity presented by the US$470B global digital transformation industry.

“The beauty of bluesheets is that our platform becomes more effective for all its users the more customers and use cases it encounters. And so in order to reach more customers and cover more use cases, we are continuously investing into top talent especially in engineering and product to push the envelope when it comes to scaling the technology our customers have come to rely on for their data processing and workflows.” – COO Clare Leighton
