Our thesis
What we see
Supplier invoices are still checked on a sample basis. Not out of negligence: because nobody has time to do otherwise.
In most organisations, a few people check what they can (often a few per cent of the volume) and the rest is paid on trust in the contract. The time available decides what gets looked at, and the sample becomes the rule.
So the gap between what was negotiated and what is actually invoiced goes unwatched: it is assumed to be nil. A price three cents above the agreed rate card, a volume rebate that stops being applied after a part number changes, an indexation clause revised against the wrong index: none of it raises an alert, because nothing is looking at it.
Why now
Full coverage was never a question of will, but of unit cost. That cost has collapsed.
We come from data and artificial intelligence, not from procurement. It was in conversation with finance and procurement leaders that we understood what had changed.
Checking one invoice line against a contract takes a few minutes of human attention. Multiplied by the annual volume of a large group, it becomes economically impossible, and sampling remains the only rational strategy. It was never a surrender: it was arithmetic.
That unit cost has collapsed. What used to be impossible is now a matter of engineering: read a contract, extract its rate card, check every invoiced line against that rate card, and raise the gap together with its evidence. Once it is feasible, sampling has no justification left.
Our ambition
Every document read leaves a trace. A price, a clause, a unit, a part number, linked to one another, dated, tied back to the document they came from.
That knowledge does not expire: it accumulates. This month’s control is better than last month’s because it builds on what the previous documents taught. Price history becomes a negotiating argument. The supplier master data cleans itself up. Memory stops being individual.
We do not sell extraction. We build the memory of your spend.
What we refuse to do
A company is defined as much by what it refuses. These five commitments are not negotiable, and they explain most of our product decisions.
It investigates, you decide.
- Zylio never decides in your place. It investigates, you decide.
- Zylio never touches a payment or a supplier relationship without your approval.
- Zylio does not promise “automatic” margin. It shows what has already been paid in error and provides the evidence to decide how to act.
- Zylio hides no calculation. No black box: every discrepancy is traced back to its source.
- Zylio does not ask you to change tools or processes. It fits around them.
What makes us credible
We do not come from procurement. We come from enterprise SaaS and from AI deployed at scale: two of our co-founders come from AWS. The domain knowledge is brought by our customers and our advisors, and they are the ones who validate what we build.
Which is why we would rather be checkable than credible on our word alone: the procurement profession has recognised us, and demanding groups have opened their data to us.

The people behind us
One criterion alone governed the choice of our advisors: each has held, in a position of responsibility, the job we sell to or the scale-up we are preparing for. They are not here for their names.
Ilan Benhaim
Co-founded vente-privee.com in 2001 and led its strategy and innovation through the growth decade. He tells us when a commercial mechanism will hold at European scale, and when it only holds in France.

Maurice Lévy

We’re hiring
We work in direct contact with our customers’ procurement and finance teams: our engineers see the real documents, not specifications. It is demanding, and it is the only way to build a control that holds up on awkward cases.
We hire experts: engineering, product, procurement and finance. There is no list of vacancies: if the problem interests you, write to us.

- Our teamFour co-founders, four disciplines, and advisors who have held, in a position of responsibility, the job we sell to.
- Our visionA world where every euro spent has been verified, with zero exceptions, and where the decision stays human.
Nothing is lost. Everything can be checked, everything can be proven.
- The contract clause and the invoice line, highlighted side by side.
- Every extracted value stays linked to the exact place in the document where it was read.
- The same case produces the same decision, today as in six months: the rules are applied deterministically.
- No discrepancy is set aside in silence. Anything that matches no rule is raised, with its reason.
- The agent records what it did, in the order it did it: who, what, how much, when.
Frequently asked questions
What is Zylio?
The AI agent platform that verifies your procurement: every invoice checked against the agreements, every line matched to the purchase order and the goods receipt, every discrepancy costed and sourced. The agents investigate, your teams decide.
Who uses Zylio day to day?
Procurement, management control, finance and accounting. The interface is designed to be read by executives as much as by operational teams.
Is my data used to train models?
No, never. It is not shared between clients and stays hosted in France.
How much does it cost?
Three models, known before you start. The diagnostic is billed on success, on the discrepancies recovered: you pay only a share of what is actually recovered. Self-serve extraction can be taken on its own, at a price per page set out on the pricing page. The agents connected to your information system (compliance checking, matching, exceptions) start at €290 excl. VAT per month.
Measurable impact in every environment
More than 5 million procurement documents analysed
Between 1 and 7% of margin recovered
on the scope analysed
From 15 to 45% of time given back to teams, per FTE
depending on the scope and on data maturity
Zylio fits into your existing ecosystem.
The ERP runs the process. Zylio handles the exception and recovers the value that escapes it: invoices without a purchase order, line-by-line price discrepancies, duplicates and overbilling, off-contract spend.
Your data under high security.
Zylio meets the most demanding standards, and nothing is committed without your approval.
