## AI Data Agency
AI agents that handle your data operations end-to-end.
Ingest, reconcile, validate, and deliver clean data
from any source.

## The Problem
As companies grow, data operations become the bottleneck.
Every new source introduces new formats, new edge cases,
and more manual work.
- For every $1 spent on software, $6 is spent on data services
- 30–45% annual turnover on outsourced data teams
- Most companies still reconcile data by hand

## Stats
| Metric | Value | Description |
|----------|-------|------------------------------|
| Speed | 10x | Faster Than Manual Teams |
| Accuracy | 99%+ | Validated Output |
| Cost | 60%+ | Savings vs Offshore Teams |

## Industries
- E-commerce: Product catalog management across marketplaces and platforms
- Finance: Invoice processing, revenue reconciliation, and reporting
- Supply Chain: Order data, inventory sync, and vendor feed normalization
- Healthcare: Patient records, claims processing, and compliance reporting
---
## Use Cases
- Data Ingestion: Ingest data from any source format. Map fields automatically, normalize schemas, and maintain a single clean dataset as your source of truth.
- Data Cleansing & Normalization: Deduplication, formatting fixes, and field standardization across datasets. Turning messy inputs into clean, consistent records.
- Reporting & Reconciliation: Pull data from multiple sources, cross-reference records, flag discrepancies, and generate formatted reports automatically.
- Document Processing: Extract tables from invoices, receipts, contracts, and forms. Turning unstructured PDFs and scans into structured, usable data.
- Data Migration: Move data between systems with automatic field mapping, format transformation, and post-import validation.

## Contact
We spent years at Sendbird deploying AI for enterprise
customers and kept seeing the same thing: companies
spending more on manual data operations than on the
products themselves. Light Anchor is the AI operations
layer we wished existed.
