The first (and last) ERP you'll ever need
Mandrel rethinks ERP for commerce by anchoring operations and finance at the SKU level, turning inventory movement into real-time margin, inventory, and cash insight with automation built in.
Why Mandrel?
Traditional ERPs are built to close the books after the fact. Mandrel is built to run inventory-driven businesses in real time. By centering operations and finance around SKUs, Mandrel turns every inventory movement into accurate costs, margins, and financials - all from a single unified platform.
SKU-level insights
See real-time revenue, costs, margins, and inventory by SKU so you know exactly which products are driving performance.
Automate workflows
Automatically capture and reconcile financial data as inventory moves, eliminating manual prep work and spreadsheet-based accounting.
Trust your financials
Mandrel produces accurate, auditable, GAAP-compliant financials by tying every journal entry directly to underlying operational activity.
Scale without chaos
Mandrel keeps product data, operations, and financials aligned in a single system as complexity grows, preventing errors, rework, and surprises at close.
The Mandrel Platform
Unify purchasing, inventory, revenue, accounting, and reporting into a single, SKU-centric platform for commerce. By treating every operational event (e.g. orders, receipts, shipments, and returns) as a financial event, Mandrel keeps inventory, costs, revenue, and cash continuously aligned in real time. The result is clean SKU-level economics, automated accrual accounting, and integrated reporting, all powered by a shared data foundation that scales with complexity without manual reconciliation.
Purchasing
Transform purchasing activity into clean inventory and cost data. Mandrel links purchase orders, receipts, invoices, and inbound logistics at the line-item level, so inbound shipments directly update inventory value, landed costs, and payables. With purchasing as the foundation for SKU-level financials, Mandrel ensures costs flow cleanly into inventory, COGS, and cash without manual cleanup.

Inventory
Maintain a real-time, accurate view of inventory and COGS across your warehouses. Mandrel treats every inventory movement as a financial event, recording receipts, transfers, fulfillments, and more directly into an inventory ledger that continuously updates inventory value and COGS at the SKU and lot level. Keep margins and financials current as the business operates, rather than relying on period-end adjustments.

Revenue
Manage revenue from order through invoicing, settlement, and recognition. Mandrel anchors revenue to fulfillment activity, so shipments, returns, and cancellations determine when revenue is recorded and adjusted. By connecting orders, fulfillment, invoices, and payouts in a single order-to-cash workflow, Mandrel reconciles what was shipped, invoiced, and paid to keep revenue, receivables, and cash aligned.

Accounting
Maintain accurate financials continuously throughout the month.

This keeps financials current and enables a faster, more predictable close without manual end-of-month reconciliations.
