What we do

Three ways we help.

Lead your team, build your product, or rethink your back office. Pick one, or combine them.

03 · AI & automation

Back-office innovation

We work with you on how your back office really runs, then use AI and automation to make it faster and leaner. We hand it over, or run it for you.

  • Map how the work really flows
  • AI and automation where it pays off
  • Handed over, or run as a managed service

Our flagship product

Penny2

The back office for fuel distributors.

Your month, squared away. Every supplier invoice, freight bill and sales invoice matched by bill of lading, the credits that are easy to miss, and the real margin on every load. Built and run by us.

  • Every load, matched

    Supplier, carrier, bank and sales documents tied together by BOL.

  • Credits flagged

    What the supplier drafted against what's in your files, to the cent.

  • Month-end, squared away

    AR and AP statements, margin by load and a journal for your accountant.

Case study

What Penny² found in a fuel distributor's first month.

A 200-load-a-month distributor with thousands of documents from suppliers, carriers and banks, and a back office of one. We automated the reading and matching with Penny² and flagged what looked missing: credits, documents and charges counted twice. They're now loading six months of data to validate the findings.

First-month findings, not confirmed savings. The client is now loading six months of data to validate them against its own books.
