The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Check every hide, chemical and component bill against what you agreed.
Leather & Footwear
Check every hide, chemical and component bill against what you agreed
A tannery buys hides, skins and a long list of tanning, retanning, dyeing and finishing chemicals on negotiated rates; a footwear or leather-goods maker buys leather, soles, linings, trims and hardware from dozens of suppliers and job-work vendors. Almost nobody checks the invoice against the rate they agreed. Invoices are paid against orders nobody matched to a goods-receipt, so overbilling, duplicate payments, off-contract rates, quantity and weight differences (hide is bought by weight or piece, chemicals by weight) and missed volume rebates slip through. The leak only surfaces, if ever, at audit. This is the single best Diagnostic wedge: read-only, universal, and the most provable, because the recovered number is the client's own money with a line-level trail.
Who has it
Every segment, from tanneries to footwear makers and exporters to leather goods and accessories makers to components and job-work units; it is heaviest for tanneries (hide and chemical spend) and footwear makers and exporters (leather, sole and component spend).
What we build
A clean vendor master and rate-contract record, then a deterministic three-way match (PO against goods-receipt against invoice) that flags every price drift, quantity, weight and tax mismatch, duplicate payment and missed rebate, across hide, chemical and component spend. Clean invoices flow through for one-click approval; only genuine exceptions reach a person.
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 Check every hide, chemical and component bill against what you agreed; 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
Overbilling and off-contract rates are caught before payment, not at audit; the re-keying disappears; buying runs to a rule instead of a relationship. Illustrative: a leather-goods exporter cleaned its vendor master and automated the bill-versus-agreement check across leather and hardware spend and surfaced and recovered a meaningful monthly leak, all auditable to its own documents.
