Accounting teams have to manually detect and fix ERP data errors because the system allows silent issues like duplicates, inventory drift, broken approval flows, and nonsensical reports.

ERP systems fail to provide real-time data integrity checks, automatic anomaly detection, and workflow validation, forcing accountants to manually reconcile and debug.

Workarounds Described

accountants manually reconciling with spreadsheets and pivot tables
exporting reports before 2pm to get them to work
tracking transaction flows manually to understand system behavior

Implied Software Gaps

Automated anomaly detection across ERP modules (AP, inventory, approvals, reporting)
Continuous data integrity monitoring without manual report exports
Workflow validation that catches broken approval flows and stale user routes

ERPGuardian

ERPGuardian is a continuous data integrity monitoring layer that sits on top of any ERP.

Unlike manual reconciliation, it runs 24/7 and provides root-cause insights.

Key Features

Real-time duplicate transaction detection
Inventory drift alerts with trend analysis
Approval flow health monitoring (missing approvers, stale routes)
Report sanity checks (e.g., cross-tab validation, time-based anomalies)
Automated root-cause investigation and audit trail

Target Users: Finance teams (controllers, accountants) at mid-to-large companies using ERP systems like SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or NetSuite

Revenue Model: $199/mo per ERP instance or $2,500/yr flat fee for unlimited users within a company
