Apperio is a legal spend management platform that provides in-house legal teams with real-time visibility into both billed and in-progress legal work by integrating directly with law firms' time and billing systems. The platform offers three key functionalities:

Continuous Spend Management: Apperio delivers up-to-date insights into legal expenditures by aggregating data directly from law firms' time recording systems. This allows legal teams to monitor work-in-progress and accruals, enabling proactive management of legal spend before invoices are issued. The platform's dashboards and analytics facilitate tracking expenses by various criteria, such as matter, law firm, and practice area, aiding in identifying unusual spending patterns.

Strategic Spend Control: By providing comprehensive data on current and historical legal spend, Apperio enables legal departments to benchmark costs, assess law firm performance, and negotiate better rates. The platform's analytics support informed decision-making regarding budget allocation and vendor selection, contributing to more efficient legal operations.

AI Invoice Review: Apperio incorporates artificial intelligence to automate the review of legal invoices, ensuring compliance with billing guidelines and identifying discrepancies. The invoice review workflow includes configurable approval processes, automated rule-based checks, and detailed audit trails, streamlining invoice processing and enhancing transparency.
