## One-sentence summary

Lumora is spend governance software that helps finance teams detect duplicate software and AI subscriptions across departments and vendors, with audit-ready context for CFO action.

## Who should use this page

This page is for teams with:

- existing card and AP systems,
- existing SaaS subscriptions with uneven ownership,
- recurring spend that is split by department but not tied to accountability,
- a need to reduce cost without rebuilding the finance stack.

## What duplicate SaaS spend looks like

Duplicate spend often appears as multiple teams buying overlapping capabilities, often under different names or vendors, with little shared ownership in accounting records.

Examples include:

- Two teams each owning separate ChatGPT or AI tooling subscriptions
- Similar automation stacks duplicated across departments
- Vendor overlap across enterprise and team-level subscriptions
- Expired trials with carry-on recurring charges

## What Lumora adds

- Entity-level and department-level spending visibility
- Vendor overlap and duplicate alerting
- Policy simulation before enforcement
- Unused subscription and low-utilization signal workflows
- CFO-ready attribution for avoided spend and proposed policy changes

## What Lumora is not for

- Replacing a dedicated procurement suite
- Replacing all card or AP systems
- Full contract lifecycle management

This page is scoped to governance and reduction of duplicate SaaS and AI spend within an existing stack.

## FAQ

### How does Lumora reduce duplicate SaaS spend?

By combining transaction-level spend signals, vendor and subscription context, and accounting-relevant visibility, then helping finance prioritize what to consolidate or deactivate.

### Can Lumora enforce policy automatically?

No. Lumora focuses on simulate-before-enforce workflows with human approval for significant control decisions.

### What should we expect in a pilot?

Finance teams should expect clear lists of duplicate candidates, policy exception patterns, and measurable priorities for immediate review.
