Manufacturing & distribution
Reports your ERP holds but will not give you.
Tax, receivables and compliance reports are rebuilt from the ERP every period by people who deserve better work. We automate through the screens and extracts you already use, and let agents produce the reporting on schedule.
What we see in this sector
The data is in the ERP. The problem is getting it out in the shape the period requires, which is why so much of a manufacturing finance team's month is spent in spreadsheets between the extract and the deliverable.
That middle layer is where the audit risk lives too. Every return and every control report that passes through an unversioned workbook is a control you cannot really evidence. We replace the middle layer with a record, and let agents produce the deliverable from it.
SAP is the specific case worth naming, because it is where most of this work happens and where the usual objection comes up. Direct integration is ideal and often unavailable, whether for licensing reasons or because a change request would take two quarters. So we also automate through the screens and standard extracts your team already uses, which means no new interface to get approved and no dependency on a project you do not control.

How we work
Most companies bolt AI onto systems designed for people, then ask people to check the AI’s work. We design the record around agents and put your team in charge of running and governing them. Five steps: read the books, design for agents, ship agents in shadow mode against today’s results, train your operators, then run and improve.
