What Previse does

Previse is a London-headquartered B2B fintech, founded in 2016, that applies artificial intelligence to B2B financial transaction data. Its platform is structured around three core modules — Connect (no-code ERP, source-to-pay, and CRM data integration), Match (continuous data harmonization and monitoring), and Decide (AI analytics and decision automation) — and is supported by packaged solutions including SmartPay (AI-driven virtual card program), SmartAccept (B2B card acceptance enablement), and SmartPlan (card program forecasting). The company addresses fragmented enterprise financial data, automating accounts payable workflows, supplier financial health monitoring, trade credit risk management, payment fraud detection, and spend analysis.

The underlying technology operates on structured transaction data drawn from ERP, CRM, billing, and source-to-pay systems. Previse claims to have analyzed $200 billion in B2B spend over five years across 100,000 buyer/supplier relationships, processing $120 million in transactions daily. The platform holds ISO 27001 certification (since 2019) and is GDPR and CCPA compliant, positioning it for financial institution procurement. Named customers include HSBC, Citi, Mastercard, Motorola Solutions, Alive Telecom, and Sitexpedite.

Previse monetizes through SaaS platform subscriptions complemented by bespoke consulting services for data integration and advanced analytics. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a quote-based, demo-led motion and no self-serve or PLG channels. The company operates in the UK (Previse Ltd) with a US subsidiary (Previse USA) and claims global footprint across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas. On May 5, 2025, Castle Biosciences Inc. (CSTL) announced its intention to acquire Previse.
