What is Pigment?

Pigment's Agents break out of single applications and start reading your spreadsheets.

The Agents are the story: Modeler and Analyst now launch from the homepage and hold one conversation across multiple Applications, with the Analyst comparing Metrics across them and handling Board search. Days earlier, the Modeler gained the ability to build a Pigment model — data, Blocks, formulas, and Boards — from a dropped XLSX file, with multi-file uploads of PDFs, CSVs, and images. The rest of the run is planning-platform craft: metric diffing, live deployment progress, selective Metric data sync across Test & Deploy environments, and a steady stream of View Template and chart formatting controls.

What is Spendflo?

Spendflo refocuses into an AI-agent-driven procurement platform, shedding its SaaS-management past.

Spendflo just shipped a ground-up redesign: a single left-nav, node-based visual workflow views for each request, high-density tables, consolidated settings, and a renamed vocabulary (Vendors become Suppliers, Agreements become Contracts) — all organized around an 'AI Agents' layer for Document QA, Contract Review and Vendor Due Diligence. Just before it, the company deprecated its usage-based and app-centric features, removing the Apps page, Shadow IT and SaaS-spend reports. Underneath sits steady integration work with Coupa, NetSuite and LinkSquares.

7.5

Pigment's Agents break out of single applications and start reading your spreadsheets.

◆ Current state

The Agents are the story: Modeler and Analyst now launch from the homepage and hold one conversation across multiple Applications, with the Analyst comparing Metrics across them and handling Board search. Days earlier, the Modeler gained the ability to build a Pigment model — data, Blocks, formulas, and Boards — from a dropped XLSX file, with multi-file uploads of PDFs, CSVs, and images. The rest of the run is planning-platform craft: metric diffing, live deployment progress, selective Metric data sync across Test & Deploy environments, and a steady stream of View Template and chart formatting controls.

◆ Where it's heading

Pigment is moving its Agents from assistants scoped to one Application into a workspace-level layer that can see and act across the whole model estate. Pairing that with Excel ingestion targets the actual starting condition of most planning customers, whose current model is a spreadsheet. Meanwhile the environment tooling — deployment visibility and configuration data kept in sync between test and production — reads as a platform maturing for customers who now treat their Pigment models as software.

◆ Prediction

With Agents workspace-wide and able to construct models from files, the next step is putting them inside the change-management path — proposing model edits that flow through Test & Deploy rather than landing directly. Expect the Analyst's cross-Application reach to extend into scheduled or triggered analysis rather than only chat-initiated questions.

3.8

Spendflo refocuses into an AI-agent-driven procurement platform, shedding its SaaS-management past.

◆ Current state

Spendflo just shipped a ground-up redesign: a single left-nav, node-based visual workflow views for each request, high-density tables, consolidated settings, and a renamed vocabulary (Vendors become Suppliers, Agreements become Contracts) — all organized around an 'AI Agents' layer for Document QA, Contract Review and Vendor Due Diligence. Just before it, the company deprecated its usage-based and app-centric features, removing the Apps page, Shadow IT and SaaS-spend reports. Underneath sits steady integration work with Coupa, NetSuite and LinkSquares.

◆ Where it's heading

Spendflo is narrowing into a workflow-first, AI-assisted procurement platform and deliberately exiting the SaaS-management and shadow-IT discovery space it once occupied. The redesign and the deprecation are two sides of the same decision: concentrate the product on orchestrating the procurement lifecycle — intake, approval, vendor evaluation — and let autonomous agents do more of the work inside it. Integration depth with ERP and CLM systems keeps it embedded in finance operations.

◆ Prediction

Expect deeper AI Agent automation across the procurement lifecycle and continued ERP and CLM integration (Coupa, NetSuite, LinkSquares), with the agent layer becoming the product's central pitch.
