HOW IT WORKS

From raw ERP export to a defensible IC memo.

Three steps. Same rigor as a full operational diligence, in a fraction of the time.

STEP 01

Upload ERP, Excel and CSV

SKU financials, sales orders, production orders and inventory snapshots. No integrations, no engineering time.

STEP 02

DeXM normalises SKU → cash

Twelve months of data reconciled through the same SKU-to-cash model used in operational diligence. No more Excel forensics.

STEP 03

Full diligence report, ready

Ten indicators, EBITDA bridge, cash-leakage map, hidden factory, 100-day plan and an investment recommendation you can defend.

WHAT YOU GET

Every indicator is a full page in the report, with formulas, source files and an implication a partner can read out loud.
