Yardstick Compass
An ERP that runs the work. Not another tool your team has to drive.
Compass replaces the ops team you would otherwise need to drive your stack. The AI matches your bills, drafts your invoices, reconciles your payments, and keeps your records current. Your team supervises and approves the work. One flat fee per company, no per-seat tax. Single tenant. Independent by design.
What's in Compass
Six things that make it yours.
The MVP is the four cards above the fold. The two below them land in v1, about three months after the first design partner is in.
Build the model in plain language
Tell the command bar what records and fields your business needs. Compass writes the data model. Add a new entity in a sentence. Add a new field in five words. The model is yours, not ours.
- Plain-language edits to your data model (add, rename, archive)
- Every model change is logged and reversible
- Field types include text, money, date, link to another record, tag, file
- Per-record permissions follow the role you set, not a global default
The AI runs the work. You keep the trail.
Every action Compass takes (invoice drafted, bill matched, email sent, record edited) lands in the audit log with the actor named. Revert any single AI action in one click. Independent by design carries forward.
- Every write is logged with actor, timestamp, and the prompt that triggered it
- One-click revert per action, with a 30-day window
- Drafts (emails, invoices, journal entries) hold until a human approves
- No silent edits and no background nudges you didn't see
Connectors to the stack you already run
Bring data in from QuickBooks, Xero, HubSpot, Stripe, and Shopify. Push changes back out without a flock of Zaps in the middle. Five connectors at MVP. More land as design partners ask.
- QuickBooks Online: customers, vendors, invoices, bills, GL
- Xero: same coverage as QuickBooks
- HubSpot: contacts, companies, deals, pipeline stage
- Stripe: payouts, charges, refunds, subscriptions
- Shopify: orders, customers, products, inventory levels
Single tenant. Your data stays yours.
Every customer gets a dedicated database and a dedicated runtime. No shared-pool data with other tenants. No training on your records. The boundary is real and the bill is per-tenant.
- Your data lives in its own database, with its own runtime. Not in a shared pool with other customers
- Your records are not used to train any model, ours or anyone else's
- Export your full data model and all your records as one ZIP, at any time
- Delete on request: 30 days in a recoverable bin, then unrecoverable
Workflows you didn't have to wire
Compass watches what your team does in the system. After enough repetitions, it proposes the automation, drafts the workflow, and runs it after you approve. You stay in the loop on the first ten runs.
- Pattern detection across user actions, with a confidence floor before it asks
- Workflow draft you can read and edit before it goes live
- Pause / resume per workflow without losing state
- Live counters so you see the work it's actually saving
Reports without the SQL
Ask in plain language. Get the chart, the table, the export. Save the query as a recurring report. The AI shows the query it ran so a finance lead can sanity-check it.
- Natural-language to chart, table, or CSV / XLSX export
- Saved reports refresh on a schedule you set
- Underlying query shown alongside the result, always
- Report results land in the audit log too
Bring your own AI
Use the Compass-managed model or wire in your own. OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, or a private endpoint behind your firewall. Per-tenant key, per-tenant bill. Useful when your security team has already done the procurement work on one provider and doesn't want to do it again.
