Tamr Procurement Application
From Tamr's website:
Tamr combines machine learning software with data science expertise so analysts can breakthrough the data quality and preparation bottlenecks that prevent fast, accurate analysis.
Large companies typically have an enormous, unmanaged supply chain with multiple people in multiple business units negotiating with other companies for parts, machinery, travel, and accommodations. Tamr's application is a multi-featured tool for these companies to start to streamline their procurement analyses in order to reduce costs, overbuying, and risk.
When I started working on this project, we were a small squad working to get an alpha version of the procurement application out to a select set of customers to gauge interest and start to figure out what an MVP would be. After a successful launch of an MVP, with a roadmap in place, I worked on developing the app over four full releases. Over time, the Procurement application would become the core of an entirely new Tamr platform.

A category browser that allows a procurement specialist to view all their current categories by tier, sort categories by spend or transaction volume, add new categories, or view details about a specific category.
Transaction Browser
Tamr allowed a user to bring in thousands of transactions across multiple data sources for classification. This browser allowed you to sort, filter, categorize, or view the details of any transaction.
Expert Review
At the core of Tamr's platform is the human guided machine learning. Here, experts can review the recommendations from Tamr, or bootstrap recommendations for Tamr to learn from.
Potential Duplicates
The second release focused on adding the ability to deduplicate an entity type, in this case, suppliers. This would allow you narrow down your supplier list to a "master." Here a user can filter down to a specific type of potential duplicate, see the similarity level between suppliers, mark the suppliers as the same or different, and see Tamr's confidence levels.
