Divisions · Varra · Business Automation
Intelligent infrastructure for the work that keeps businesses running.
The documents, approvals and records that move between people and systems of record. Syntur is building toward systems that take a business objective, prepare the work, check what carries a cost, ask the person whose decision it is, and record what happened.
Business automation
You describe the objective. The system works out what it takes.
Work out why this invoice does not match the purchase order. Get this change order supported. Reconcile this month’s billing. The intent is for Syntur’s systems to carry an objective like that from the first document to the record of what was done, with a person deciding wherever the decision is theirs.

In Varra today, at least in partFoundation or planned
Today, Varra covers the front of that: reading, comparing, preparing and tracking what you hand it. The back — approvals, execution and recording outcomes against real systems — is foundation in the engine, described on Infrastructure, and not yet something a business can use, with one narrow exception: eligible accounts can approve an email in Varra and send it through Gmail.
Where it applies
Four areas of business work, each set out line by line on Solutions with what exists for it today.
- Operations: invoices, change orders and business records.
- Finance: financial operations and system-of-record coordination.
- Research and knowledge work: research and document handling.
- Administration: approvals, email and controlled execution.

Boundary
Stated once, in one place.
The current boundary
Stated once, in one place, so the rest of this page can describe what is being built without hedging every sentence. As of today:
- Varra does not act in your business systems, with one narrow exception. For eligible accounts, the engine’s one execution path, Relay, sends a single approved plain-text email through a separately authorized Gmail connection. Apart from that connection, the product holds no credentials to your systems and writes to none. Signing in with Google uses an identity-only scope and reads no mail and no files.
- There is no company workspace. You cannot upload your policies, connect your accounting system, or set an approval rule. The one exception is per-account reference data, which is live.
- Nothing runs unattended. Varra works on what you hand it in a conversation. It does not watch a mailbox, monitor a system, or start work on its own.
- Nothing is automated end to end. The stages marked Foundation, Staged or Planned are being built, not sold, and every mark on this page is there so the two are never confused.
- Business billing is not switched on. Varra is free to use today, and the Business tier is described rather than sold.

Not another system of record
You already have one, or several. The direction is for Syntur’s systems to work around the ones a company already runs — project management, field service, accounting, ERP — reading what the business produces and preparing what has to go into them, not replacing them. None of those systems is connected today.
Where execution does reach a system, the preference is explicit: a direct API wherever one exists, because an API call is inspectable, repeatable and cheap to verify; a browser session only where there is a portal and no usable API; a sandbox for computation; a desktop environment only where the software leaves no other way in. Those environments are building or future.
Talk to Syntur.
If your company’s work looks like the examples on Solutions, the most useful thing to send is what actually breaks — the document that arrives wrong every month, the rule nobody can find, the check somebody does by hand. This is a conversation about a system being built, not a deployment you can buy this quarter.
Useful to include: your company, your line of work, and the first piece of work you would want automated. The link below opens an email with those three lines ready to fill in.
Pricing for the Business tier, and what it does and does not include today, is on the pricing page.
Business Automation is the first application area of Varra, Syntur’s autonomous intelligence platform. Syntur’s other pillar, Syntur Technologies, is described with it under Our Divisions.
