[ IN THEIR WORDS ]

“At Seajoy we compare, pond by pond, what an extra week of growth is worth against what it costs to wait. By hand that’s half a day of work for a single pond, which is why it never got done. Now it runs every week.”

Christian FrancoCommercial Director, Shrimp & Frozen Salmon Division · Seajoy

[ YOUR FIRST ANSWER ]

Bring the question your month-end can't answer today.

Pick one — the variance nobody can explain, the cost per kilo that moved after the close, or the customer who looks profitable until freight is counted. We'll show how norami connects your cost sheets, ledger and invoices and traces the answer back to its source.

    Find the source

    We identify the cost sheets, ledger exports, invoices, or databases that hold the relevant records.

[ THE PLATFORM ]

The Platform, in Your Finance Team's Terms

Three layers, one workspace: your cost sheets and ledger in, one model in the middle, answers the whole team can check.

/ SOURCES

Every Book Finance Keeps

Cost sheets, ledger exports, budgets and invoices, uploaded as files or synced from the database behind them on a schedule you set. norami only ever reads them.

/ WORKSPACE

One Definition of Cost per Kilo

Revenue, cost lines and margin mapped once, and a finance assistant that can only query the datasets linked to it.

/ ANSWERS

Answers That Survive the Close

When the corrected close file lands, saved questions keep working on the new numbers — and you can see what changed, with the rows behind it.

[ SECURITY ]

Security Your IT Team Can Check

What protects your orders, prices and customers today — each control described on our security page, in plain terms.

Isolated per Workspace

Each customer's data is scoped to its own workspace, with Row-Level Security switched on for every table.

Read-Only by Design

norami never writes to your ERP or database. Sessions are read-only, and queries are single SELECT statements with row caps and timeouts.

Access by Department

Each team reaches its own assistant, and an assistant can only query the datasets linked to it — checked on the server for every query.

An Audit Log Nobody Can Edit

Sign-ins, access changes, uploads, connections and exports go to an append-only, hash-chained log.

[ FAQ ]

What Finance Teams Ask Before They Start

Talk to the team
Does it replace our ERP or accounting system?

No. norami reads the ledger exports, cost sheets and invoices you already have and answers across them. Your ERP stays the system of record, and norami never writes to it.

Can it reconcile the budget workbook with the ledger?

It can put them side by side when both are in your workspace: ask where actuals differ from budget and every answer shows the rows it used from each. Deciding what the variance means stays with your team.

What happens when the corrected close file lands?

Drop it in, or let the connected database sync on its schedule. Saved questions keep working on the new numbers, and a refresh that looks wrong — rows vanishing, columns changing shape — is held for review before it reaches anyone.

Who on the finance team can use it?

Everyone you invite, with a role that matches their job. Assistants are grouped by department, so finance reaches the finance assistant and the datasets linked to it.

Do we need to know SQL or formulas?

No. Ask in plain language, typed or by voice. The exact query is there for anyone who wants to check it.
