The AI-native ERP
for consumer brands

Cairn is an AI-native ERP for consumer brands and CPG manufacturers. It runs inventory, quality control, production, demand planning and MRP, procurement, lot traceability, and a GAAP double-entry general ledger in one system, with an assistant, Flint, that drafts records for one-click human approval. Most teams are live in weeks.

Cairn is built for consumer-goods operators roughly $5M to $100M+ in revenue: food and beverage, supplements, cosmetics, apparel, distributors, and contract manufacturers. It fits teams that have outgrown QuickBooks and spreadsheets but do not want a six-figure, year-long legacy ERP implementation.

For consumer brands, yes. Cairn covers the CPG-critical ground NetSuite sells as separate modules, including inventory, MRP, lot traceability, receiving inspection, and multi-entity accounting, and adds parallel costing, self-correcting landed cost, reversing entries that keep the original on file, and a native trade-promotion ledger. NetSuite still makes sense if you need its vast app marketplace or deep international tax coverage. Cairn is live in weeks for a flat annual fee.

Cairn is an AI-native ERP purpose-built for consumer-brand (CPG) operators. NetSuite implementations typically run 6 to 12 months on six-figure budgets and need a certified consultant for most changes. Cairn is onboarded in weeks, is configurable by your own team, and ships inventory, production and MRP, supply chain, lot traceability, and a full GAAP double-entry general ledger in one system, with AI built into every workflow rather than bolted on.

Most teams are live in weeks, not months. There is no consultant army: you import your chart of accounts, items, and opening balances, then configure roles, accounting preferences, and workflows directly in the app.

Cairn includes a complete double-entry general ledger, so it can replace QuickBooks outright or run alongside it during a transition. Accepted purchase orders create bills and completed work orders trigger invoices automatically, so the books stay current without manual entry.

Yes. Cairn supports multi-entity (multi-subsidiary) and multi-currency accounting with per-entity isolation and intercompany-ready structure, the OneWorld-style setup mid-market operators need as they grow.

Every read and write Cairn makes goes through a data layer that scopes it to your organization by construction, and a CI check refuses new code that reaches the database any other way. Access is role-based across 25 built-in roles, and every record keeps a complete audit trail. Your data is never commingled with another company's.

Cairn's assistant is Flint. It reads your live ledger and reporting views, answers questions in plain language, and drafts records such as purchase orders, journal entries, items, sales orders, and invoices for one-click approval. It also diagnoses costing: whether the inventory account ties to the stock valuation per account as of a day, and which items drift and from what. Flint is role-gated, a read needs no approval, and it never posts a correction on its own. Your business data is not used to train third-party foundation models.

With Reverse. Cairn keeps the original on file with a Reversed badge and posts a mirror document (REV-n) dated today in the current open period, linked both ways. Stock goes back at the cost that left, nothing in between is re-costed, and the closed month is never touched. In an open period you can instead Delete a document, which unwinds it and its postings and replays what came after.

Cairn is one flat annual platform fee, sized by entities and transaction volume. Every module is included, costing, MRP, trade promotion, and the ledger, and implementation is a fixed fee. There are no per-transaction fees and no consulting invoices to change a field. Full details are on the pricing page at cairnerp.com/site/pricing, or book a demo for a quote sized to your operation.
