Founder of Thinking Machine. After working on the telecom supply side of Enterprise contract management for over a decade at Telstra, the largest Telecom company in Australia, I've learnt that being able to correctly interpret contracts and spot invoicing issues is a highly time consuming, expensive and specialist activity - costing suppliers billions in missed revenue and costing buyers billions in over-charging. In my time at Telstra, I managed a global team of over a hundred contractors to implement an operating model for revenue assurance systems and achieved realised benefits of more than $20 million dollars for the company, but even though I searched far and wide for the best software solution to assist me on the task, most of the work had to be done manually. This was one area where technology hasn't caught up to yet. Even today, the latest software platforms are still being mostly process managed manually by specialists. As a data fanatic, I felt for many years the potential of smart data systems. That was the pull that inspired me to start Thinking Machine in 2019 with the dream to save companies’ time and money by fixing billing forever. As a new breed of expense management focused on savings and consolidated billing, I created a special system with machine learning and AI technology dedicated to making complex contracts and billing reporting simple and accurate. With the best combination of human & data intelligence, Thinking Machine has a unique product that helps both buyers & suppliers:-> Eliminate over-payments and under-payments on contracts and obtain savings,-> Gain performance insights of how contracts turn into billed charges, and-> Guarantee customer satisfaction for telco companies with an accurate and effective billing systemWith close to US$1M in funding by 2021, and experience working with invoices and contracts from 26 countries in 18 languages, Thinking Machine is rapidly becoming a must have solution for telecom companies and enterprises with large annual spend on Telco and IT services.See an inside look at our free interactive tour: https://my.thinkingmachine.co/tour
