Flint, the assistant

Flint does the work. You approve it.

Point Flint at a task anywhere in the system and it runs the steps, checking with you before anything posts. It reads your live ledger and reporting views, drafts the records you would otherwise key, and explains why a number is what it is, down to the document that put it there.

See Flint on your data

Click the gem. Flint likes attention.

Flint reads the ledger, names the source, and leaves the decision to you. Illustrative figures.

Drafts for one-click approval

The record, drafted from live data

Flint checks a source document against the customers, vendors and items that already exist, drafts the record, and stages it in front of the person who approves that kind of record.

  • Purchase orders
  • Journal entries
  • Items
  • Sales orders
  • Invoices
  • And more, per role

The costing diagnosis

Why the ledger does not tie, with a name on it

Ask why the inventory account and the stock valuation disagree, and Flint reads the ledger and the reporting views and reports:

  • The inventory tie per account, as of any day you choose
  • Which items drift, and from what: a manual journal on the inventory account, landed-cost residue, two implied standards with no revaluation
  • Whether the costing method comparison is stale
  • The replay floor and the closed months
  • When the latest cost-of-sales catch-up ran

The guardrails

Role-gated

Flint can only read and draft what the person asking is allowed to see and do.

A read needs no approval

Questions about the ledger and the reporting views are answered straight away.

Nothing posts on its own

A draft is staged for a person to approve. Flint never posts a correction by itself.

Explains your controls

Ask what an accounting control on the Enable features page does and Flint answers from the help guides.

One ask, a whole process

Ask Flint once and it runs the whole process, step by step, then checks with you before anything posts. Here are ten of them, from the first order to the month-end close.

PO → Sales order

“Create a sales order from this PO.”

Line details validated against live data, zero manual entry, staged for one-click approval.

EDI 850 → sales order

“Turn this 850 from the retailer into an order.”

Retail orders booked without re-keying, ready to fulfill.

Reorder from MRP

“Draft POs for everything MRP says we're short on.”

A week of purchasing decisions, staged for one approval pass.

AP three-way match

“Match this bill against the PO and process it.”

Bill entered exactly as invoiced, with a pending-approval hold and a variance report.

Co-packing receipts

“Process these kits and receive the finished goods.”

Kitting without heavy manufacturing routing setup.

Production log digitization

“Record this production build.”

A paper log becomes a ledger transaction with full lot genealogy.

3PL inventory reconciliation

“Reconcile this 3PL count against our system.”

Line-by-line lot visibility, adjustments staged for review before they post.

Payment reconciliation

“Reconcile this week's Shopify payouts against our books.”

Takes the manual grind out of payment reconciliation and keeps cash matched.

Accrual journal entry

“Post these June accruals as a journal entry.”

Balances itself and stages for immediate review.

Mock recall trace

“Run a trace on lot #8842 of organic oats.”

A multi-hour compliance drill, done in minutes, proving exact lineage.

There are many more across the business, and the list grows with every release. Tell us the one your team still runs by hand.

Every draft waits for a person to approve it, and the approval is recorded with who gave it. Nothing posts without a human in the loop. See how AI is governed.

Replace your legacy ERP. In weeks.
