Seven signals

What expense anomaly detection actually catches

Most spend problems are invisible in a transaction list and obvious in a pattern. A vendor charging twice for the same invoice. A card used at 11pm on a Sunday. A team member whose weekly spend just tripled. Clyr watches for seven kinds of trouble.

1

Duplicate charges

Same vendor, same amount, inside a suspicious window.

2

Off-hours purchases

Spend at times when your business is not usually buying.

3

Round amounts

The pattern that shows up when numbers are invented rather than incurred.

4

Split transactions

Purchases broken into pieces to slip under approval limits.

5

Vendor concentration

One vendor quietly taking over a category.

6

Spend spikes

A 7-day total that breaks from your trailing weekly average.

7

Budget trends

Categories drifting toward their limits before they arrive.

Your baseline

Built for project-based spend

Generic anomaly engines are trained on office-supply patterns, where a Sunday purchase is strange and a spending spike means trouble. Your business buys materials, fuel, subcontractors, and utility bills, where a spike might be a new project or might be a problem, and the difference matters by Friday.

That is why Clyr’s signals measure you against you: this week’s spend against your own trailing average, this pattern against your own history. The baseline is your business, not somebody’s office.

Daily review

Expense fraud prevention without the audit

Expense fraud in distributed teams rarely starts big. It starts with a personal charge that nobody notices, then becomes a habit. When every transaction is reviewed daily and the odd ones surface automatically, the window for quiet abuse closes.

The same signals also catch honest mistakes, which are far more common and just as expensive.

Push and pull

Insights that come to you

Dashboards only work if someone remembers to look. Clyr computes insights daily and delivers a weekly digest, and going from “that looks odd” to “here is exactly what happened” is one click, because every insight links to its underlying transactions.

And when you want to pull instead of being pushed: the full report builder lives at Reports and Exports. The digest is for what found you; reports are for what you go find.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does duplicate detection work?

Charges from the same vendor for the same amount inside a suspicious window get flagged, with both transactions linked from the insight.

What counts as a spending spike?

A 7-day spend total measured against your own trailing weekly average. The baseline is your history, not a generic benchmark.

How often are insights computed?

Daily. Findings are delivered in a weekly digest, and each one links to its transactions.

Does this replace an expense policy?

No, it enforces one.

Does Clyr also have reports and dashboards?

Yes. Insights are the push side; the report builder at Reports and Exports is the pull side, with filters by job, team member, and category, and Excel and receipt-PDF exports.

What kinds of problems does it catch?

Seven signal types: duplicates, off-hours purchases, round amounts, split transactions, vendor concentration, spend spikes, and budget trends.
