The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Leak and recovery detection.

Leak and recovery detection
The firm is profitable on paper but leaks rupees through hundreds of small mismatches nobody has time to catch: board, veneer, resin, laminate and hardware bills above the agreed rate, off-grade board paid at on-grade rate, short-supply, freight billed over the rate card, missed rebates and dealer-scheme over-claims, board or timber yield silently below the costed assumption, project variations not billed. Because material and freight are most of the cost, the leak here is large in absolute rupees, and it is the client's own money with a line-level trail. A plywood or laminate brand runs the same dealer-scheme and carpenter-loyalty machine as a building-materials brand: dealers earn volume schemes and carpenters earn points for specifying the brand, and both leak, through over-claimed schemes, ghost carpenter scans and a scheme liability the firm rarely knows in real time. The carpenter is the influencer who specifies the board, so the points engine is a real growth lever and a real leak at once.
Who has it
Across all segments, the firm's universal entry wedge; heaviest where material spend dominates, for panel, plywood and laminate processors and modular and office furniture makers, and where dealer schemes and project margin leak, for panel, plywood and laminate processors and contract and fit-out makers. The dealer-scheme and carpenter-points leak is the spine for panel, plywood and laminate processors and lighter for modular and office furniture makers.
What we build
A read-only sweep across the firm's own purchase orders, GRNs, board/timber/hardware invoices, rate cards, dealer-scheme claims, freight bills and (for fit-out) project costings that surfaces money already lost or about to be, with a line-level trail, then a recurring sweep that keeps catching leaks each cycle. This is the read-only "find the money in your own data" Diagnostic demo, and in furniture it usually starts at the board or board-and-hardware bill. A scheme-and-points engine that matches every dealer-scheme claim against the agreed terms and the actual sell-through, validates each carpenter scan against single-use and in-window rules to stop ghost and duplicate scans, and shows the live scheme and points liability, so the channel investment is protected and known. A named person approves every scheme settlement and points payout.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Leak and recovery detection; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
A quantified, line-level recovery report, then a recurring sweep. This is the safest and most provable first paid win. Illustrative: a plywood and laminate processor cleaned its veneer, resin and freight checks against agreed rates and its dealer-scheme claims and recovered a meaningful amount, all auditable to its own documents. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
