APPRISS INC.
LOUISVILLE, KY

Who We Are An Overview of Appriss Appriss was founded in 1994 as the VINE company by Mike Davis, our CEO, and Yung Nguyen with a very simple belief: technology can do a lot of good in society. Since our humble beginnings building a system to help our local community in Jefferson County, Kentucky, we have grown leaps and bounds and our solutions serve thousands of agencies and corporations and millions of people every day. Our journey has taken us far beyond Kentucky, the home of our corporate headquarters, to now having offices in two continents and customers in 25 countries on 4 continents. The Founding of Appriss VINE provides over 40 million notifications each year Around this time it became clear that our mission was evolving to expand on who we were, and so we renamed The VINE Company, to Appriss, which was derived from the word apprise, or to inform. Continuing to Evolve Our Business The next big step in our journey was to help state governments combat the rise in the diversion of over-the-counter cold medicine into the production of methamphetamine. Pharmacy chains also needed an effective solution to comply with CMEA, a federal regulation aimed at curbing drug diversion. We launched MethCheck and NPLEx in 2007 and 2009 respectively. In 2013, and in conjunction with the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), we launched PMP Aware, our prescription drug monitoring solution. In the years since, we have been devoted to creating the most comprehensive platform to address substance use disorder, helping physicians, pharmacists and state administrators identify, prevent and manage SUD. Today, physicians and pharmacists process more than 6 million transactions per month in their daily workflow to help take better care of their patients. As you can probably tell by now, our evolution as a company has always followed a few themes: is there a large problem that affects our society; can technology and analytical minds solve the problem; and does solving the problem create social good? That led us to another major problem set: retail fraud. In 2015, we found an exciting team of brilliant technologists and data scientists that had built some predictive analytics solutions to help retailers identify and prevent fraud. We got our first major foothold into retail analytics through our acquisition of The Retail Equation (TRE). TRE provides leading predictive analytics solutions to retailers to prevent return fraud and to engender even greater loyalty from the best customers. We made a follow-on acquisition of another great team of technologists and retail experts – SysRepublic – in 2015. The Sys team brings deep expertise in retail operations and an international perspective to the problems facing retailers. With the combined capabilities of SysRepublic’s Secure platform and TRE’s Verify and Retail Rewards, Appriss’ Retail division provides a comprehensive predictive analytics platform for retailers across a global footprint. We are a team of technology and data science experts who are passionate about solving some of the most urgent and complex challenges for society and business – from fighting corporate and retail fraud, to battling the opioid epidemic, to keeping victims of violent crime safe and informed.

They established The VINE company in downtown Louisville Kentucky, with just a handful of employees and an office space that was quickly outgrown.
