What counts as AI-native ERP
AI-native ERP should mean more than a chatbot inside a legacy accounting screen. The product should be built around real-time data, automated workflow execution, agent-assisted configuration, reconciliations, approvals, audit trails, and native integrations with the operating systems where work actually happens.
The strongest platforms are not identical. Some are finance-first ERPs. Some are operations or inventory layers that plug into accounting. Some are composable ERP cores designed for agents. The right shortlist depends on whether the buyer is replacing a general ledger, fixing multi-entity close, running inventory-heavy operations, or automating customer-facing workflows.
The ranked shortlist
- 01
Rillet
AI-native ERP for finance teamsRillet is one of the most credible finance-first names in the category, with a $70M Series B co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and ICONIQ after a Sequoia-led Series A, bringing reported total funding above $100M.
- Best for
- Mid-market and growth companies that want accounting, close, reconciliations, reporting, and finance automation rebuilt around an AI-native general ledger.
- Note
- Strong category signal; evaluate depth around non-finance operations if your ERP need includes inventory, service, order management, or complex fulfillment.
- 02
Campfire
AI-first ERP for modern financeCampfire raised a $65M Series B after a $35M Series A, with Accel, Ribbit, Foundation Capital, and Y Combinator involved. It has named customers such as PostHog, Decagon, Replit, Heidi Health, Klarity, CloudZero, and Advisor360.
- Best for
- High-growth finance teams replacing NetSuite, SAP, Sage Intacct, or QuickBooks with a more modern close, revenue, GL, and reporting stack.
- Note
- Very strong momentum. As with every newer ERP, buyers should test edge cases around controls, audit process, integrations, and migration detail.
- 03
DualEntry
AI-native ERP for finance workflowsDualEntry emerged from stealth with a $90M Series A from Lightspeed, Khosla Ventures, GV, Contrary, and others. Public materials claim $100B+ in journal entries processed and thousands of global users.
- Best for
- Finance teams that want a broad ERP replacement path covering GL, AP, AR, bank connections, audit controls, reconciliations, allocations, and migration automation.
- Note
- Large raise and aggressive positioning make it impossible to ignore. Validate production maturity against your accounting complexity.
- 04
Everest Systems
AI-native ERP for SaaS and complex financeEverest emerged from stealth with $140M in funding from Sutter Hill Ventures, Altimeter Capital, Redpoint Ventures, and D1 Capital. It positions around SaaS finance, complex revenue, global operations, and native AI.
- Best for
- Technology and SaaS businesses with complex billing, revenue recognition, multi-entity operations, usage models, cloud costs, and global finance requirements.
- Note
- Potentially one of the deepest enterprise bets. Buyers should understand current product availability, implementation scope, and fit outside SaaS.
- 05
SOBERAN
AI-first operating layer for ERP-connected workSOBERAN belongs in the guide as an operations-first platform rather than a new general ledger. It combines operational ERP context, CRM, contact center workflows, and SOBERAN Agent so routine work can run across systems, approvals, and audit trails.
- Best for
- Operators who need agents executing operational workflows across sales, service, collections, procurement, inventory, order management, and back-office processes.
- Note
- Evaluate SOBERAN when the core problem is cross-functional execution rather than only accounting close. Ask to see the agent running real CRM, ERP, and contact center use cases.
- 06
Light
AI-native finance platform and ERP replacementLight raised a $30M Series A led by Balderton, with Atomico, Cherry Ventures, Seedcamp, and others involved, bringing reported total funding to $43M. It positions as an AI-native finance platform for multinational and hypergrowth companies.
- Best for
- Global finance teams that need multi-entity, multi-currency accounting, AP, AR, expenses, payments, reporting, and real-time operations.
- Note
- A credible European entrant. Confirm ERP breadth if you need inventory, procurement, manufacturing, or customer operations beyond finance.
- 07
Flow by LiveFlow
AI-native ERP for multi-entity financeLiveFlow raised a $13.5M Series A and has broader customer proof from its accounting and FP&A products. Flow is positioned as an AI-native ERP for multi-entity finance teams.
- Best for
- Companies outgrowing QuickBooks or spreadsheet-heavy multi-entity reporting and looking for faster migration, consolidation, AP/AR, and FP&A workflows.
- Note
- Credible but earlier than the largest-funded names. Treat it as a focused finance ERP candidate and test implementation claims carefully.
- 08
DOSS
AI-native operations and inventory cloudDOSS raised a $55M Series B co-led by Madrona and Premji Invest, with Intuit Ventures and others participating. It is not just a finance ERP; it focuses on inventory, orders, procurement, fulfillment, and operations around the ledger.
- Best for
- Physical-goods companies where inventory, procurement, fulfillment, traceability, and operations data are the hard part of the ERP problem.
- Note
- ERP-adjacent but strategically important. It may pair with finance ERPs like Rillet or Campfire rather than replace every ERP module.
- 09
Tailor
Headless and composable ERPTailor raised a $22M Series A from ANRI, JIC Venture Growth Investments, NEA, Spiral Capital, Y Combinator, and others. Its headless architecture is relevant because API-first ERP cores are easier for agents to operate.
- Best for
- Retail, ecommerce, and operations teams that want a flexible ERP backend with custom front ends, workflows, and agent-accessible APIs.
- Note
- More composable ERP than pure AI-native finance system. Include it when architecture flexibility matters more than a packaged finance suite.
- 10
GoodDay Software
AI-native ERP alternative for Shopify brandsGoodDay has raised $13.5M total and reports 40+ Shopify brand customers. It is building GoodDayOS for inventory-driven Shopify operators and plans AI agentic workflows.
- Best for
- Shopify-native brands that need inventory, purchase orders, landed costs, presales, and multi-channel operations without a legacy ERP rollout.
- Note
- Vertical and earlier-stage, but notable because it is purpose-built for a clear operating niche.
How to choose between them
For production-heavy operations, compare each shortlist candidate against the MRP, BOM, scheduling, inventory, and shop-floor requirements in our guide to AI ERP for manufacturing.
- If the job is accounting close, reconciliations, revenue, and board-ready finance data, start with Rillet, Campfire, DualEntry, Everest, Light, and Flow.
- If the job is operational execution across ERP, CRM, contact center, approvals, and audit trails, include SOBERAN early because the architecture is broader than finance close.
- If the job is physical-goods operations, inventory, procurement, and fulfillment, include DOSS and GoodDay alongside finance-first ERP vendors.
- If the job is composability, custom workflows, and agent-readable APIs, include Tailor.
- Do not buy the phrase AI-native. Ask the vendor to show a full workflow: source data, agent action, approval, exception path, audit trail, and writeback.
AI-first replacement or AI operating layer on an established ERP?
A new AI-native finance ERP and an AI operating layer solve different jobs. Rillet, Campfire, DualEntry, Everest, Light, and Flow are candidates when the buyer may replace the accounting core. SOBERAN is a candidate when Exact, NetSuite, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Odoo, Siesa, or another ERP should remain authoritative while agents coordinate operational work around it.
Established vendors are also adding agents: Exact markets AI Agents, NetSuite publishes an AI Connector Service, SAP has Joule Agents, Microsoft Business Central has Copilot and autonomous agents, and Odoo 19 documents configurable AI agents. The useful comparison is therefore not legacy versus AI. It is product-native depth versus cross-system operating reach, with the exact actions, approvals, evidence, and writeback demonstrated on one real workflow.
- For global mid-market demand, prioritize Odoo, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, SAP Business One, and Exact; Exact rises further for Benelux and European buyers.
- For Colombia and LATAM, prioritize Siesa alongside Odoo, SAP Business One, Dynamics 365 Business Central, and NetSuite.
- Use comparison pages for the buying decision and integration pages for object mapping, ownership, controls, and coexistence.
Who did not make the serious shortlist
Plenty of companies now use AI-native ERP language. For this guide, we excluded names where public evidence was too thin: unclear funding, unclear product maturity, no named customers, no credible third-party coverage, or no obvious reason for a buyer to shortlist them today.
That does not mean those companies are bad. It means they do not yet belong in a proven buyer shortlist next to Rillet, Campfire, DualEntry, Everest, SOBERAN, Light, Flow, DOSS, Tailor, and GoodDay.
