What does Datarails do?
Datarails consolidates financial data from ERPs, spreadsheets, CRMs, HRIS, payroll, billing, and other systems into a governed layer that finance teams can use for reporting and planning. Its FinanceOS engine automatically syncs and structures data, while Datarails AI and the FinanceOS AI Connector help teams work with trusted numbers instead of scattered files. The platform keeps Excel in the workflow, so users can keep their models while automating consolidation, dashboards, and analysis.

What are Datarails's use cases?
FP&A teams in Excel
FP&A teams who need to consolidate data without leaving Excel use Datarails to pull numbers from multiple systems into one governed model, using Data Consolidation and ERP-Excel Connectivity to keep planning work in a familiar spreadsheet flow. They can then build Budgeting & Forecasting cycles without rekeying data.
Board reporting for finance leaders
Finance leaders who want faster board reporting and planning cycles use Datarails to turn trusted data into presentation-ready packs, using Financial Reporting and live dashboards to answer questions quickly. Datarails AI helps them surface the right variance story before the board meeting.
Audit-ready close for controllers
Controllers who need audit-ready numbers and version control use Datarails to standardize month-end work, using Month-End Close and version control to keep every update traceable. They can reconcile changes faster and hand off numbers with clearer governance and permissions.
Multi-entity reporting for operations finance
Operations finance teams that manage reporting across multiple entities use Datarails to combine entity-level results into one source of truth, using multi-entity consolidation and department-level reporting to compare performance across locations. Integrations keep the reporting layer connected as the business changes.
How does Datarails work?
- Connect your first source through Integrations or ERP-Excel Connectivity, then map accounts into Data Consolidation so Datarails can build a governed finance model from trusted numbers.
- Load historical actuals and planning assumptions into Budgeting & Forecasting, using Excel-native FP&A platform workflows to keep finance teams working in familiar spreadsheets.
- Build Financial Reporting templates and live dashboards, then use Datarails AI to surface variances, drill into drivers, and prepare board-ready commentary faster.
- Run Month-End Close with version control and governance and permissions, so controllers can track changes, reconcile updates, and keep audit-ready numbers aligned.
- Expand into Cash Management or additional integrations as needs grow, and keep one source of truth updated for ongoing reporting, analysis, and planning.
