H · Finance & Procurement

Every payment matched to the bank. Every purchase approved by limit.

A general ledger for each company, the daily cash check by branch, the nightly bank check, vendor payments with their vouchers, and purchasing approved by amount.

Illustration

01 · The problem

Cash leaks between the till, the card slips and the bank. Payments in are confirmed by eye from screenshots.

Purchases are approved in chat groups, with no limit per role and no voucher behind the payment.

Who it is for: Finance heads, owners, procurement and stores.

06 · How it connects

Part of one record, not a separate tool.

Tracer

Tracer tells the finance head each morning what did not match and what waits for a signature.

Atelier OS

Money is never approved by the machine alone. Every voucher, approval and match is on the record with who and when.

Where it runs

When a DS is installed the ledger and the matching run on it; the bank alerts still arrive by email from the bank.

Connections

Bank alert emails, transfer screenshots on WhatsApp, supplier quotations and invoices.

07 · Proof

Every branch’s cash checked each morning at Whipped Coffee and Fatman Burgers, from the photos managers already send.
