From insight to action
Celonis tells you there’s a duplicate payment or a broken process step. cloudsquid takes the next step: assembling the evidence package and filing the dispute or correction.
cloudsquid vs. Celonis
Celonis is exceptional at diagnosing where a process breaks down using ERP event-log data - but diagnosis is where it stops. cloudsquid picks up from the same kind of finding and files the dispute, drafts the correction, and closes the loop.
- From insight to action
- Files the dispute
- Documents, not just event logs
- Reads PDFs directly
- Built for the domains Celonis doesn’t cover
- AR + Freight + Trade
01 Why cloudsquid
Why choose cloudsquid over Celonis?
01
02
Documents, not just event logs
Celonis reasons over structured ERP event data. cloudsquid reads the underlying PDFs, contracts, and rate cards directly, which matters when the ledger entry looks clean but the source document doesn’t match it.
03
Built for the domains Celonis doesn’t cover
Celonis is strongest inside AP-adjacent process mining. cloudsquid extends the same rigor to AR deductions, freight, and trade spend.
