Lantern

One ledger for the whole enterprise.

Finance, procurement, inventory, manufacturing, people, fleet and assets connected. Every transaction posts once and can be traced from request to report.

Single source of truth

Departments share master data, approvals and the general ledger.

Configurable workflows

Approvals, roles and document flows shaped to how you operate.

Multi-company

Branches, projects, cost centres and currencies in one system.

Audit-ready

Every posting linked to its document, approver and time.

Receive the goods, and the books, stock and budget agree.

The purchase order already committed the budget. When the goods arrive, stock goes up and the supplier payable posts, with no second entry in accounts.
