Lensing AI alternatives
Lensing is an AI-native ERP for companies with complex revenue and global operations. It brings order to cash, revenue recognition under ASC 606 and IFRS 15, multi-entity and multi-book accounting, procurement, assets and cloud cost tracking into one system, and its AiSpecify tool lets finance teams build new ERP apps in plain English. Co-CEO Franz Faerber was the original architect of SAP HANA, and the company has raised more than US$140m.
Companies comparing it usually look at Rillet, Campfire and DualEntry among the AI-native ERPs, and at NetSuite, Sage Intacct and SAP, the systems many of them run today.
