When organisations look at ERP systems, attention often falls on features like sales automation, inventory control, HR, CRM and dashboards. These are important, but without a strong financial backbone they lose their power.
Finance in ERP is not about replacing standalone accounting software. It is about ensuring that every business activity is automatically connected to its financial impact in real time. A sales order should not just be a customer transaction — it must flow into revenue and receivables. A purchase must translate into both goods received and payables. HR must reflect in payroll, benefits and compliance. Without this deep integration, ERP becomes a collection of isolated tools rather than a unified system.
This is why Tuhund puts finance at the centre — not as an accounting module, but as the foundation that ties together CRM, HR, projects, inventory, procurement, marketing, sales, services, installations, training and every other function.
Why Finance Cannot Be Ignored
Every transaction in business eventually leads to a financial outcome. If finance is disconnected, leaders end up working with partial or outdated information. Reports lag behind events, compliance becomes risky and decision-making slows down.
Shockingly, there are still ERP products in the market that do not even include a finance module. Some vendors even promote this as a positive feature, claiming that finance is better left to external software. In practice, this approach creates silos, duplicate data entry and constant reconciliation struggles.
Other systems provide only the bare minimum — a ledger, some journal entry capability and a few fixed reports. On paper this looks like “finance is covered,” but in reality the business still lacks real-time clarity and ends up relying on spreadsheets to fill the gaps.
Tuhund’s Financial Core
Tuhund was designed differently. Finance is not bolted on — it is embedded into every module, every transaction and every process. This makes it possible to see the financial impact of activities the moment they happen.
Key strengths include:
-
Real-time reporting: Sales, purchases, HR entries and project costs instantly update financial records. No waiting for batch jobs or reconciliation.
-
Drill-down capability: From a P&L or balance sheet line, users can trace back directly to the originating invoice, voucher or even sales order.
-
Multi-company, multi-branch, multi-currency: Perfect for organisations with complex structures and international presence, with consolidated and entity-specific views.
-
Compliance built in: Tax rules, audit trails and user rights are part of the system, ensuring accuracy and accountability.
-
Decision support: Financial data in Tuhund is not just bookkeeping — it is a management tool that guides cash flow, cost control, profitability and long-term planning.
Beyond Accounting — Intelligent Expense Claims Management
Finance in Tuhund is not limited to ledgers and vouchers. One of the best examples is the Expense Claims Management module.
Claims in Tuhund go far beyond reimbursement requests. A claim can be made against any type of expense and is tied to multiple entities simultaneously. For instance, a sales call expense is linked to the customer, the marketing zone, the products discussed, the principal (supplier) and the salesperson. This transforms a simple claim into rich data that connects activity with cost and financial impact.
Highlights of the claims module:
-
Customisable workflows: Define your own approval paths and escalation rules.
-
Controlled automation: Routine steps are automated but flexibility for manual oversight remains.
-
Approval matrix: Different claims can be routed to different approvers based on amount, type or department.
-
Auto-posting: Once approved, claims flow directly into finance without delay.
-
Automated calculations: Built-in intelligence saves time and prevents errors. For example, when start and end odometer readings are entered, the system calculates distance, fuel consumption and reimbursable amount automatically.
In most ERPs, claims are either handled outside the system or treated as a small administrative feature. In Tuhund, they become a strategic tool that provides insights into the true cost of sales, marketing effectiveness and operational efficiency.
Why This Matters
Modern businesses cannot wait until the end of the month or quarter to know their financial position. They need real-time clarity. They need to understand how sales activities, marketing efforts, HR costs and procurement decisions are affecting the bottom line as they happen.
By making finance the backbone, Tuhund ensures that every module contributes to a single version of truth. This means no silos, no duplicate work and no surprises. Leaders can make decisions confidently, knowing they are looking at the full picture — not just fragments.
Conclusion
ERP without a strong financial core is like a body without a spine. The modules may exist but they cannot function as one. Some vendors still deliver systems where finance is weak or missing, leaving businesses to struggle with silos and manual reconciliations.
Tuhund takes a different path. Finance in Tuhund is not accounting software — it is the foundation that ties together every function of the organisation. With advanced capabilities such as real-time drill-down reporting, multi-entity handling and intelligent expense claims management, Tuhund transforms finance into a strategic advantage that drives efficiency and growth.
