Q: How much does Enate cost?

Enate lists no prices. Quotes depend on how many people need access, how many service lines run on the platform and which AI agents work alongside the team. The platform includes unlimited workflow management, ticketing and case management, the AI agents as standard, RPA and third party agent integrations, citizen development and unlimited cloud storage. Customers already on the platform buy AI credits through their account manager to extend Document Agent, Bring Your Own Agent and Integration Agent use. SnapLogic iPaaS, a private cloud, customer managed encryption keys and storage in the customer's own Azure account are paid options, third party Marketplace apps are bought separately, and Enate can be purchased through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace against committed Azure spend. Enate Consulting starts with a free discovery call and quotes one fixed fee that comes off the Enate license cost if the customer then licenses the platform.

Q: Who is Enate for?

corporate service providers and fund administrators, tax and accounting firms, HR and payroll providers running payroll across many countries, finance and accounting operations teams, shared service centers, business process outsourcers and managed service providers, operations leaders in regulated industries with heavy email workloads

Enate sells a work orchestration platform for regulated service operations such as corporate and fund administration, tax, payroll, shared services and BPOs. Tickets, cases, people, RPA robots and AI agents share one queue, and the EnateAI Email, Document and Integration agents triage inbound email, close tickets reopened by thank you replies, extract document data and update connected systems, handing low confidence work to a person. Customers can plug in their own agents under the same permissions and audit trail, and prices are quoted.

Enate Limited, a company registered in England and Wales and based in London, sells Enate, an AI orchestration platform for corporate service providers in regulated industries. Founder and chief technology officer Kit Cox built it for services such as entity management, fund administration, tax filings, payroll across many countries, finance and accounting, shared services and outsourced BPO work, where local rules differ by jurisdiction. Customers include TMF Group, EY, Vistra, CMS UK and Utmost Group, and Enate Technologies India in Bangalore supports the Asia Pacific business. Scottish Equity Partners made a growth equity investment after three years of about 30% annual growth.

Operations teams work in Work Manager, while business analysts configure ticket types, case flows, rules, checklists and schedules in Builder, a no code editor, and try changes in a separate test mode before setting them live. People, RPA robots from UiPath, Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere and Power Automate, and AI agents all pull from the same queues. Email Agent classifies each email that creates a ticket against the customer's categories and routes it when its confidence clears a threshold, extracts field values for a person to confirm, scores sentiment, tags attachments and closes tickets reopened by simple thank you replies.

Document Agent runs Azure Document Intelligence models for invoices, identity documents, purchase orders, insurance surrender forms and share structure charts, followed by an OpenAI pass. Confident results complete the case action and move the flow on, and the rest land in a validation screen. Integration Agent runs SnapLogic pipelines from case flows to read and update connected systems, and Bring Your Own Agent calls agents built in Copilot Studio, Claude or elsewhere and routes every output to a reviewer.

Prices are quoted on the number of users, the service lines in scope and the AI agents chosen. Extra agent use is bought as AI credits, and SnapLogic iPaaS, a private cloud, customer managed keys and storage in the customer's own Azure account cost extra. Users sign in through SAML single sign on, roles set feature access, and user groups limit which customers, contracts, services and processes each person sees. Enate cites SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification. The SaaS service runs on Azure in West Europe with failover to North Europe, model calls can run on the customer's own Azure OpenAI endpoint, and an on premises edition installs on the customer's own platform.

Enate fits corporate service providers, fund administrators, tax and payroll bureaus, shared service centers and BPOs that handle high volumes of email driven, deadline bound work across many clients and jurisdictions and need an audit trail for regulators and clients. It suits teams that want AI to take routine triage and extraction off their people while confidence thresholds keep the rest in human hands. It fits less well for buyers who want published prices or a self serve trial, agents that reason over a searchable knowledge base, a free choice of model behind each agent, or core data hosted outside Europe in Enate's own cloud.

Integrations

Enate connects to Microsoft 365 and Office 365 mailboxes through the Graph API, to Okta, Microsoft Entra ID and other SAML identity providers for single sign on, and to UiPath, Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere and Power Automate robots that take and create work through activity libraries. Infrrd and ABBYY handle document extraction, and UiPath Communications Mining handles email classification, as alternatives to EnateAI in the Marketplace. Integration Agent runs SnapLogic pipelines from case flows to read and update systems of record, Trigger External API actions call outside services with a callback address, and the Operational and Configuration APIs, webhooks and custom cards in HTML, JavaScript and CSS let developers start, track and display work. Reports run on Power BI, and raw data can flow to the customer's own data warehouse.

In practice

A fund administrator's client services mailbox receives 2,000 emails overnight. Email Agent classifies each one against the team's ticket categories, routes those above the confidence threshold straight to the right queue, flags negative sentiment on two complaints and closes 300 tickets reopened only by thank you replies. Analysts start the day on the remaining emails, each showing a suggested category to accept or change.

A corporate services provider receives a change of directors request with a share structure chart and passports attached. Document Classification tags each file, and a Document Agent action extracts the director and shareholder fields. The passports clear the confidence threshold and complete their step, while the share chart opens in the validation screen, where an analyst checks each field against its place on the page, corrects one value and submits, and the case moves on to the filing action.

A BPO plugs an invoice coding agent built in Copilot Studio into its accounts payable cases. At the coding step Enate calls the agent with only the fields its permissions allow, then routes the proposed cost centers to a reviewer, who approves or edits them before a SnapLogic pipeline posts the result to the client's finance system. The audit trail records each status change, and the team lead watches throughput and SLA risk in the operations report.

Agentic Index coverage score

11.5 / 14 capabilities · 82%

Integrations & Tool Calling	Full
Case flows reach outside systems by several routes. Integration Agent runs SnapLogic iPaaS pipelines, started from Enate workflows, that read and update data in connected systems in real time, and Trigger External API actions post a work item's details to any external service along with a callback address the service uses to update the case and complete the action. UiPath, Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere and Power Automate robots sign in with their own accounts to fetch and create work, Microsoft 365 mailboxes connect through the Graph API, and Infrrd, ABBYY and UiPath Communications Mining plug into the Marketplace as alternative AI providers. Sourcedocs.enate.net/enate-help/builder/builder/case-configuration/adding-actions-to-a-case/external-api-action-info-tabread 2026-11-09
Workflow Orchestration	Full
Work runs as tickets and multistep cases built in a no code editor, where each case flow chains actions such as manual steps, approvals, document extraction, external API calls and robot tasks, each with its own due date, checklist and allocation rule. People, RPA robots and AI agents pull from the same queues, so one case can move from an AI classification to a robot task to a person's approval without leaving the flow. Jurisdiction aware routing applies local rules automatically, and new process versions run against test work items before a user with the release manager role sets them live. Sourceenate.io/product/ai-orchestrationread 2026-11-09
Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Partial
Each agent works from the work item in front of it. Email Classification reads the subject and body against the customer's category names alone, without descriptions, Email Data Extraction matches the message to the names of the fields on the ticket, and Document Agent reads attached files through Azure Document Intelligence and a second OpenAI pass. The Ground Truth layer pairs ten years of operational knowledge built into Enate's templates with the customer's live case data, yet no agent queries an indexed or embedded store of the customer's policies, procedures or past cases. Sourceenate.io/product/knowledgeread 2026-11-09
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Full
Confidence thresholds decide when a person steps in. Builder users set a slider from 0% to 110% for email classification, document classification, document extraction and thank you evaluation, anything scoring below it goes to a person, and 110% turns the agent into a recommender that never acts. Extracted email fields are always confirmed by a user before a ticket is created. Low confidence documents open in a validation screen that shows where each value sits on the page, Email Agent drafts replies for the team to check before sending, and every output from a Bring Your Own Agent connection is reviewed by a person before any action is taken. Sourcedocs.enate.net/enate-help/enateai/enateai/set-confidence-thresholds-for-your-ai-integrationsread 2026-11-09
Security, Identity & Governance	Full
Access is managed inside each customer's own instance. Administrators add SAML identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID or Okta, route sign in by email domain, and assign standard or custom roles that switch individual Work Manager and Builder features on or off, while user groups restrict which customers, contracts, services and case processes each person can open. API application credentials carry the roles of the user who created them and can never exceed that user's rights. Enate states SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification, GDPR compliance and InfoSec clearance for data confidentiality up to the C4 level, with yearly third party penetration tests. Sourcedocs.enate.net/enate-help/builder/builder/system-wide-settings/sso-settingsread 2026-11-09
Observability & Auditability	Full
Every work item carries an audit trail of status changes, due date overrides, allocations and communications, each marked as system or user generated with a timestamp and, for people, the account that acted. Tickets show the category the AI chose and its confidence, the extraction screen shows each field's confidence and its source in the document, and changes to permissions, process releases and sign ins are logged as well. Email Agent and Document Agent reports track accepted and overridden predictions, failures, retries and confidence by model. API call logs and system logs stay with Enate for investigations and are kept for 12 months. Sourcedocs.enate.net/enate-help/builder/builder/administration/activities-audited-in-enateread 2026-11-09
Memory & State Persistence	Not documented
Agents keep no memory of their own between runs. Each classification, extraction or thank you check starts from the current email or document, and Email Classification neither retrains on customer data nor learns from a person's recategorization, which is logged only for accuracy reporting. What persists is the operational record itself: tickets, cases, contacts, custom data, files and their history, held in each customer's own tenant database. Confidence thresholds and category lists are settings the product applies, not a store an agent consults or a buyer can review and clear for one client. Sourcedocs.enate.net/enate-help/enateai/enateai/enateai-faqsread 2026-11-09
Deployment & Data Residency	Full
The SaaS service runs in Enate's Azure tenant, with production in West Europe in the Netherlands and active passive failover to North Europe in Ireland, and AI calls move to another EU region, usually Sweden, when a model is unavailable there. Paid options add a private cloud segregated by subscription and network, encryption keys held in the customer's own Azure Key Vault, and file storage in the customer's own Azure storage accounts in regions the customer picks. EnateAI inference can run on the customer's own Azure endpoints, and an on premises edition installs as object code on a platform the customer provides. Sourcedocs.enate.net/enate-contract-documentsread 2026-11-09
Prebuilt Agents / Templates / Packs	Full
EnateAI ships four agents a customer switches on in the Marketplace and uses alone or together. Email Agent bundles classification, field extraction, sentiment analysis, attachment tagging and thank you evaluation. Document Agent extracts data with prebuilt models for invoices, identity documents, purchase orders, insurance surrender forms and share structure charts, plus a general model for anything else. Integration Agent connects systems through SnapLogic, and Bring Your Own Agent brings outside agents under the same permissions and review. Builder adds reusable ticket types, case flows, checklists and email templates drawn from a decade of regulated service work. Sourceenate.io/enateairead 2026-11-09
Triggers & Channel Coverage	Full
Inbound email is the main entry point. Each message to a connected mailbox creates or updates a ticket or case, and a reply to a resolved item reopens it automatically. Schedules loaded with dates drive case launches and due dates for work such as payroll runs, while frequency based triggers launch cases on a repeating pattern, for example every Monday at 9am in an accounts payable verification process. Outside systems start work through the Operational API, a web form can post tickets, self service users raise requests, and webhook subscriptions push new cases, updates and communications out to other apps. Sourcedocs.enate.net/enate-help/builder/builder/schedules-and-frequency-based-triggersread 2026-11-09
Model Flexibility & Routing	Partial
Enate picks the models behind its agents. EnateAI runs GPT 5.1 or GPT 5 mini on Azure OpenAI deployments inside Enate's own Azure tenant, sentiment analysis uses GPT 4.0 mini, and Document Agent pairs Azure Document Intelligence prebuilt models with an OpenAI pass. Customers choose the extraction template for each process and can point an agent at their own Azure endpoint, but that endpoint must serve the model version Enate specifies, and endpoints outside Azure are rejected. Swapping a pattern to Infrrd, ABBYY or UiPath Communications Mining replaces the agent with a separately licensed product. Sourcedocs.enate.net/enate-help/enateai/enateai/bring-your-own-model-azure-openairead 2026-11-09
APIs / SDKs / MCP Extensibility	Full
Developers drive the platform through two versioned REST APIs, each with its own Swagger page per environment. The Operational API creates and updates tickets, cases, actions, contacts, files and emails, and the Configuration API manages what Builder holds, such as calendars and schedules. Calls carry an OAuth 2.0 bearer token issued to application credentials scoped by role, and each feature wave keeps the two previous API versions. Webhook subscriptions announce created and updated work items, new communications and business object changes, and custom cards written in HTML, JavaScript and CSS extend the screens teams work in. Sourcedocs.enate.net/enate-help/integrations/enate-integrations/apisread 2026-11-09
Testing, Debugging & Optimization	Full
Agent behavior is measured against what people accept. The Email Agent report counts predictions accepted and overridden, plots accuracy by confidence level and over time, ranks the categories people correct most and gives a triage hands off rate, so teams can move a threshold to where the confidence score proves reliable. Setting a threshold to 110% runs classification or thank you closure as recommendations first, showing what the agent would have done without acting. The Document Agent report compares extraction models on completion, confidence, failures and retries, and test mode runs test work items through new process versions before release. Sourcedocs.enate.net/enate-help/work-manager/work-manager/reports/ai-email-classification-performance-reportread 2026-11-09
Browser / Computer-use	Partial
Desktop and browser work runs through third party RPA rather than an Enate agent. UiPath, Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere robots each get a robot account, a working calendar, capacity and a farm in Builder, pull work from Enate queues, create tickets and cases through activity libraries and switch between live and test mode, and Power Automate connects for robotic automation as well. The robots belong to the customer's own RPA platform and licenses, while EnateAI agents read emails and documents through APIs and never drive a browser or desktop themselves.

Pricing

Quote only. Enate prices on how many people need access, how many service lines run on the platform and which AI agents work alongside the team.

Quoted subscription set by users, service lines and AI agents, with AI credits for extra agent use and paid options for iPaaS, private cloud, customer managed keys and customer owned storage

Included quota

The platform includes unlimited workflow management, ticketing and case management, the AI agents as standard, RPA and third party agent integrations, Marketplace access, citizen development and unlimited cloud storage. No user, credit or volume figures are public.

What is public

A pricing page naming what the platform includes, the three factors behind a quote, AI credits for extending agents and purchase through the Azure Marketplace, plus a consulting offer with a free discovery call and a fixed fee credited against a later license.

Billing mechanics

Orders follow Enate's order template and contract documents. Service credits for missed service levels are a percentage of recurring charges, credited against the next invoice or refunded on the last one, and committed Azure spend can pay for Enate bought through the Azure Marketplace.

Cost watchouts

AI credits for heavier agent use, SnapLogic iPaaS, a private cloud, customer managed keys and customer owned storage cost extra, third party Marketplace apps such as Infrrd or UiPath Communications Mining are bought separately, and Enate Consulting is a fixed fee credited only if the customer then licenses the platform.

Variable cost rationale

The core subscription is quoted on users and service lines, but agent use beyond the included level is bought as AI credits, so heavier document, integration and outside agent volumes raise cost in steps. Credit prices and units are not public, and model calls run on the customer's own Azure account under Bring Your Own Model move that spend onto the customer's Azure bill.

Additional watchouts

No self serve plan, trial or public price, and agent use beyond the included level is metered in AI credits whose price is not stated.

Overage / add-ons

Extra Document Agent, Bring Your Own Agent and Integration Agent use is bought as AI credits through the account manager. Credit prices and units are not public.

Sales call required

Yes, required for paid access

Free / trial

No free tier or trial. Buyers book a demo or a free discovery call with Enate Consulting, and an ROI calculator and an operations health check are free tools on the site.

Lowest paid plan

Not published. Prices are quoted on users, service lines and the AI agents chosen.

Commercial notes

Enate Limited of London sells directly, through partners and through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace with private offers, and runs a six week implementation from scoping workshops to go live.

Key ambiguities

No list prices, credit prices or per user figures are public, and the pricing page says AI agents come as standard while extra Document Agent, Bring Your Own Agent and Integration Agent use is sold as AI credits.

Cancellation / refund

Contract terms follow the order and Enate's contract documents. A customer who objects to a new subprocessor may end its use of Enate regardless of the time left on the order, and service credits owed when no further invoice is due can be refunded against the last invoice.

Support SLA / resale

Maintenance and support run under service levels with service credits paid as a percentage of recurring charges and credited against the next invoice. Enate also sells through partners on a partner order template and through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace with private offers.

Missing data

List prices, the per user rate, AI credit prices and units, prices for paid options and support tiers.
