Modern businesses run on data—but much of that data is buried across platforms, folders, and tools. AskGloria changes that by providing one central assistant that connects to your business data and gives every department the information they need, instantly. Whether it’s accessing policies, tracking deals, reviewing financial reports, or answering employee questions, AskGloria helps teams focus on impact instead of admin.

Finance teams are often bogged down by manual reporting and fragmented systems. AskGloria streamlines financial workflows by connecting to tools like Xero and SharePoint, enabling instant access to overdue invoices, VAT liabilities, cash flow reports, and monthly expenses. Instead of waiting for spreadsheets or diving into dashboards, teams get real-time answers—freeing up time to analyse, plan, and advise. Key benefits for finance include: retrieving overdue invoices and payment histories instantly, generating real-time cash flow summaries from Xero data, checking VAT liabilities and PAYE contributions without spreadsheets, accessing monthly P&L reports with a single question, and reducing reliance on manual reconciliations and reporting cycles.

Sales teams need quick access to customer data, deal histories, pricing sheets, and performance metrics.
