Your MES tracks production in real time. Your ERP tracks costs retrospectively. Your CFO assembles the margin picture in a spreadsheet the night before the board meeting. riicu closes the gap between what happened on the line and what the numbers say.
Your ERP runs production orders and tracks inventory. Your MES monitors the line. riicu handles the financial layer that connects both to the P&L - product costing, margin analysis, multi-plant consolidation, and board-ready reporting.
Not an ERP replacement. Not a generic planning tool that does not know what standard cost variance means. A financial intelligence layer built for manufacturing CFOs who need to see margin by product, by plant, by customer, in real time.
What Manufacturing Finance Actually Looks Like
Costing That Lies
Standard costs set twelve months ago. Actuals that diverge by 15%. Purchase price variances buried in one GL line. The margin the board sees is not the margin the plant is actually delivering.
Multi-Plant, Multi-Reality
Five plants across four countries, each with a different ERP, a different chart of accounts, and a different way of calculating WIP. Consolidation becomes a manual translation exercise every month.
Material Cost Volatility
Steel up 12%. Packaging up 8%. Energy up 20%. The budget assumed stable input prices. Nobody updated the forecast because remodelling takes a week. By the time the numbers are ready, the quarter is over.
Close That Takes Too Long
Inventory valuation, WIP reconciliation, intercompany transfers, cost allocation. The close takes 10 days. By the time the CFO has the numbers, they are already stale. Decisions wait. Opportunities pass.
Know Your True Cost. Not Last Year's Estimate.
Connect material costs, labour, overhead allocation, and yield rates into a live product cost model. See gross margin by SKU, by product line, by customer. Identify which products are destroying margin before the quarter closes.
Variance bridges that decompose standard vs actual into volume, price, mix, and efficiency. Not in a spreadsheet. In a dashboard your Controller trusts.

Turn Inventory Into Cash. Before Quarter-End.
Raw materials, WIP, and finished goods tie up cash long before they become a board discussion. riicu gives manufacturing finance teams a live view of where working capital is building by plant, by inventory stage, and by product family.
Track DIO, WIP ageing, excess inventory, slow-moving stock, and cash release opportunities in one financial layer. Connect plant movements to balance sheet pressure and margin risk before month-end closes and before cash gets trapped in the network.

Generate EBITDA bridges, margin waterfalls, capex tracking, and segment P&Ls from one source of truth. Decompose variances into volume, price, mix, and efficiency for every product line and every plant.
Drill from the group summary to the plant, to the production line, to the cost centre. Two clicks.
