Every part of the operation, finally connected
Financial-first ERPs automate the books. Cairn runs the operation and the books, with the costing, lots, planning, and trade spend that physical brands actually live on.
The differentiators
Architecture, not add-ons, the structural gaps legacy ERPs handle poorly for CPG.
Costing
Multi-method parallel costing
Legacy systems lock an item into one costing method the day it's created. Cairn keeps all four live at once, at the item and lot level, so you can see margin under any lens without re-keying a thing.

Landed-cost autopilot
Tracking a container across ocean, port, rail, and warehouse is usually a spreadsheet. Cairn models the whole journey as one inbound asset and self-corrects SKU margins when the final bills land, without reopening the period.
Learn moreTrade spend
Trade promotion (TPM) ledger
Scan-downs, temporary price reductions, and off-invoice allowances are the second-biggest line on most CPG P&Ls, and they usually live in a spreadsheet. Cairn makes trade spend a native ledger.
Learn morePlanning
Graph-driven MRP
Most mid-market MRP is weak or notoriously buggy, so planners abandon it for spreadsheets. Cairn models your whole supply web instead of a single chain, so the plan stays intact through messy, real-world updates, and explains itself.
Learn moreCompliance
Traceability & recall
Food-safety compliance is the load-bearing requirement for consumer brands, and in legacy ERPs it's a binder. Cairn keeps full lot genealogy so a recall drill is a query, not a paper hunt.

One system of record for the whole order-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycle.
Operations
Real-time inventory & allocation
On-hand, committed, incoming, and available across every warehouse, lot, and bin, in one view, with an allocation engine that keeps reservations honest as orders and POs move.
Learn moreOrder to cash
Orders & invoicing
Sales orders that calculate price and tax, invoice in one click or automatically on creation, and post to the general ledger at the line level, with FEFO fulfillment built in.
Learn moreProcure to pay
Procurement, containers & 3-way match
AI-suggested vendors and quantities, purchase orders in one click, and receipts that flow straight to stock and the ledger. For import-heavy brands, receive against multi-leg inbound containers so freight and duties land on true cost, with an automated three-way match that surfaces every variance.
Learn moreAccounting
Double-entry general ledger
Every order, receipt, and work order posts to a GAAP double-entry general ledger automatically, so the close is faster and the numbers reconcile, with multi-entity and multi-currency built in.
Learn moreAI routines
Role-based agents that read a document, check live data, draft the record, and hand it back for one-click approval.
