Today's controlling

  • Manual data pulls from 4+ ERP systems
  • Variance analysis in Excel, every month, from scratch
  • Cost allocation across vessels, routes, terminals by hand
  • Management reports assembled the week after close
  • Surprises found when it's too late to act

Helmfin

  • Unified data ingestion from any source, continuously
  • Autonomous variance detection as numbers come in
  • AI-driven cost allocation tuned to logistics economics
  • Real-time dashboards that narrate the story behind the numbers
  • Early warnings before variances become problems

Not a dashboard. An AI controller.

Helmfin doesn't just display data. It thinks about your numbers the way a senior controller would.

Δ

Autonomous Variance Analysis

Upload actuals, and Helmfin identifies significant variances, traces root causes to specific routes, vessels, or cost centers, and generates narrative explanations. No prompting required.

⇄

Logistics-Aware Cost Allocation

Built-in understanding of TEU economics, fuel surcharge pass-throughs, port cost allocation, and multi-leg voyage costing. Not generic allocation rules, but logistics-native models.

◆

Instant Management Reporting

Automatically generates controller-grade reports with commentary. Route profitability, entity P&L, consolidation summaries. Ready for the CFO's desk, not just the analyst's screen.

⚠

Continuous Monitoring

Helmfin watches your numbers 24/7. When fuel costs spike on a trade lane, or a terminal's throughput drops, or FX movements shift your consolidation, you know before month-end.

The best controllers don't wait for month-end.
Neither should your systems.

Helmfin is building the future of financial controlling for the companies that move the world's goods. Less spreadsheets. More decisions.
