Retire the reporting estate. Keep every record you trust.
Beacon replaces the layer above your systems of record: the planning tool, the BI licences, the board-pack assembly, the spreadsheet swarm. The records themselves it only reads.
Five tools. And you still assemble the answer by hand.
The estate collapses. The records underneath don't move.
Everything in the left column exists to answer one question. Beacon answers it once, from the sources you already run.
Illustrative. Your stack will differ. The shape of it won't.
What actually changes on the Monday after.
Six teams, six versions of ARR. Different definitions, different spreadsheets, last week's data.
One definition of every number, computed from the source, the same on every screen. Sealed and traceable.
Leaves the offsite as a deck. Arrives at the front line as folklore. Checked at the quarterly review.
A live target every team owns, checked against the plan daily. On plan, or off with a reason.
Surfaces after the quarter, when the only options left are explanations.
Surfaces while it forms. Churn risk, pipeline gaps, drift — while the decision is still open.
Copilots and agents guess from whatever slice they can reach. Confidently, and differently each time.
Your agents read the whole company: every lifecycle end to end, the paths ahead and the economics behind them. Not a slice.
Two more go quietly: the exception meeting before every decision, and the quarter of archaeology before a round.
What the old way costs — and where the saving is.
Beacon is bought against an existing budget line, not as new spend for a new category.
The tool stack
Four or five subscriptions doing one job between them. Beacon retires the stack for one subscription sized to your revenue.
The assembly
A finance lead's week every month, exporting and reconciling. That work ends. The numbers agree because there is one of them.
Deciding late
The discount below floor nobody caught. The churn seen two quarters late. Catching one of them pays for Beacon.
Illustrative ranges for recurring-revenue companies up to roughly $100M ARR.
Fewer tools is the small win. Agreement is the big one.
A reporting tool gets opened before the board meeting. Beacon gets opened first thing — and on the days you don't open it, it comes to you.
The morning answer
On plan or not, what changed overnight, and the day's priorities ranked by what they're worth to the target.
In the tools you use
A guardrail approached, a risk forming, a meeting starting. Pushed to Slack, to email, to the calendar event itself.
Nothing to assemble
Board packs, investor updates and leadership views generated on your cadence from live figures. Assembly: zero.
The saving on the invoice is the small one. Nobody argues about whose number is right ever again.
What Beacon will never replace.
Your auditors' tooling. Statutory consolidation. The warehouse your data team runs. The operational systems your teams live in. Those get more valuable, because Beacon pushes intelligence into them.
Departmental BI stays if it serves your operators. And past roughly $100M ARR, these questions want a warehouse and a data team — we'll say so.
Five tools out. One system in.
