Ask about your purchasing.
Get the answer in seconds.
Curie analyzes every purchase invoice your organization has processed through Ynance. Ask your question the way you would ask a colleague—no report to build, no filters to configure, and no one to chase for data. Tables and charts are ready in seconds.
Curie turns your question into a data query, analyzes only your organization’s invoice data, and shows the invoice lines used to produce the answer.
The answer is in your invoices. Finding it can take days.
“How much have we spent on tomatoes this year?” sounds like an easy question. The invoices have already been entered into an accounting, AP, or purchasing system. Yet matching product names, cleaning the data, and validating the result can still take hours—sometimes days.
Where invoice data lives today
Today’s path from invoice to answer
- 1
The invoice arrives
Every dayA new PDF lands in an AP inbox or a document appears in a vendor portal. Every supplier uses its own invoice layout and product descriptions.
- 2
The invoice is captured in an accounting or purchasing system
Review often requiredImported, scanned, or entered—with review often still required.
- 3
Product descriptions remain exactly as the supplier wrote them
4 records, 1 productVINE TOMATO 25LB, Vine-Ripe Tomatoes, VR TOM 25#, and TOMATOES CS are stored as four different records, even though they refer to the same item.
- 4
When someone asks a question, the data is exported
Back to a spreadsheetYour system reports what was entered—not what those descriptions actually mean. The analysis begins again in Excel.
- 5
Product names are cleaned and a pivot table is built
Manual matchingDifferent descriptions for the same product are matched by hand, grouped, and totaled. Then the formulas and table references must be checked to make sure nothing broke.
- 6
Finance validates the numbers
VerificationThe finance team compares the results with the underlying invoices. Month-end close and other priorities can delay the answer.

The answer is finally ready
The decision may already be madeBy the time the answer arrives, the purchasing decision it was intended to inform may already have been made.
Your team already captures this data in operational and financial systems every day. But without standardization, it never becomes a dataset that can be easily analyzed. The real cost is not only the time required to find one answer. It is every question your team stops asking because getting the answer is too difficult.
Curie does not search through files. It queries standardized purchasing data.
Every invoice processed through Ynance is read line by line and connected to the correct standardized item before anyone asks Curie a question. Data cleaning and product matching happen when the invoice is processed—not after someone requests a report. That is why Curie can produce answers in seconds.
Product names are standardized in advance
Descriptions such as VINE TOMATO 25LB, Vine-Ripe Tomatoes, and VR TOM 25# are connected to one standardized item. No matching purchase is silently left out of the total.
Curie builds the query for you
You do not need to select a report, date range, or set of filters. Curie turns your question into a data query and chooses the table or chart that best communicates the answer.
Every number is traceable to its source
Open any total to see the supplier, date, quantity, document number, and invoice lines behind it. You can share the result together with the evidence supporting it.
The answer follows your language
Ask in English and receive the answer in English. Ask in Turkish and receive the answer in Turkish. Currency and number formatting follow your organization’s settings.
Curie does not replace your accounting, AP, purchasing, or property-management system. Ynance analyzes your invoices and creates a standardized record for every line—turning purchasing data you already collect into something your team can explore using plain language. Curie respects the same organization, property, and role access controls as the rest of Ynance: answers include only the data your account is authorized to see.
Answers that once required a meeting, several emails, and a spreadsheet.
Questions that once required help from finance or a spreadsheet expert can now be answered directly from your invoice data. The person who needs the information can get the answer without waiting for someone else to prepare the report.
Owner and General Manager
Month-end questions without waiting for month-end.
- “How much did we spend last month, and how does that compare with the same month last year?”
- “Which three spending categories grew fastest this quarter?”
- “If this trend continues, what will our year-end food cost be?”
- “Which purchasing decision could save us the most next month?”
- “Has our purchasing cost per occupied room increased since May?”
Purchasing
Walk into every negotiation knowing the numbers.
- “Which suppliers raised their prices without notice, and on which items?”
- “What is our total spend with Hudson Valley Foodservice this year across all properties?”
- “Show every item for which one supplier charges at least 15% more than another.”
- “Which items did we purchase at three different unit prices in the same week?”
- “How many suppliers sell us cleaning chemicals, and what is each supplier’s current unit price?”
Kitchen and F&B
Food-cost information that reflects this week—not last season.
- “How did our average cost per pound of butter change month by month this year?”
- “How many pounds of beef did we purchase in July, and what was the average price per pound?”

Finance and Accounting
Controls that examine every invoice—not only a sample.

- “Which invoices over $50,000 contain line-item inconsistencies?”
- “Which suppliers account for the largest share of spending this quarter?”

Engineering and Housekeeping
Supplies that are often overlooked until the budget is already affected.

- “How frequently do we reorder pool chemicals, and how has the price changed?”
- “Which supplies are we using faster than we did last season?”
- “What have laundry supplies and services cost per occupied room, month by month?”
Hotel Groups
One question answered across every property you are authorized to see.
- “Which of our hotels pays the lowest unit price for the same olive oil?”
- “Rank our properties by purchasing cost per occupied room.”
- “If every hotel purchased at the best price already available within the group, how much could we save?”
- “Which suppliers charge different properties different prices for the same item?”
You do not need to phrase your question perfectly. If something is ambiguous, Curie asks a clarifying question. If the available data cannot support an answer, Curie tells you clearly. Curie respects the same organization, property, and role access controls as the rest of Ynance — answers include only the data your account is authorized to see.
Answers wherever you work.
Curie works in the Ynance app. There is no new reporting platform to learn and no need to return to your desk. Send your question as a message and receive the answer, table, and chart in the same conversation.
Ask at the moment of purchase
When a supplier quotes a new price, check what you paid previously and what other suppliers are offering before you accept it.
No formal training required
Anyone who can send a message can use Curie. There is no report builder and no complex filter setup.
Results you can share
Answers arrive as tables and charts that you can forward directly to your general manager, purchasing director, controller, or accountant.
