{{ l.label }}
The operational layer for a connected enterprise

Make fragmented enterprise operations
act like one system.

Meridian connects orders, pricing, commercial programs, EDI, supply chain, production, logistics, and finance through one governed operational model. Start with one high-friction process, coexist with the systems you already trust, and expand as the value is proven.

Explore the operating model

No forced day-one replacement. No disconnected workflow hiding between systems.

01 — Business outcomes

One operational trail.
Clearer commercial results.

Designed to coexist with established enterprise systems. Meridian focuses teams on the decisions and exceptions that decide margin, service, and control—without asking analytics platforms to reconstruct what operations never connected.

01 · Commercial result

See the real commercial result

Connect pricing, promotions, rebates, deductions, claims, accruals, invoices, and settlements to the underlying customer and product transactions.

02 · Exception context

Resolve exceptions in context

Give teams one operational trail across the order, EDI exchange, inventory event, shipment, invoice, agreement, and financial impact.

03 · Analytics readiness

Give analytics better operational data

Produce governed, traceable operational data that platforms such as Microsoft Fabric can use for reporting, forecasting, BI, and AI.

Meridian is not a replacement for Microsoft Fabric. It connects operational execution to trusted analytics so reporting starts from cleaner decisions and transactions.

02 — Meridian, SAP and Microsoft Fabric

Improve the operation at its source.
Then make the data more valuable.

Microsoft Fabric can unify and analyze enterprise data. Meridian complements that investment by connecting the operational decisions and transactions that create the data in the first place. Cleaner execution creates cleaner analytics, faster explanations, and greater confidence in the result.

QualificationIntegration patterns depend on the customer’s architecture and the production readiness of each connector. Capability availability follows the status labels used throughout this site.

03 — Trade and gross-to-net

Know what a sale is really worth.

The invoice price is rarely the final economic result. Meridian connects pricing, promotions, rebates, allowances, deductions, chargebacks, claims, accruals, and settlements to the order and fulfillment history that produced them.

Presented as Meridian’s unified operating model for commercial programs—not as an automatic replacement for every capability in adjacent trade-promotion products.

04 — Food and beverage

Built around the realities of food operations.

In food and beverage, a customer commitment is connected to inventory, shelf life, quality, production, transportation, commercial terms, and margin. Meridian keeps that chain visible instead of dividing it among unrelated applications and reports.

Industry pack status: core roadmap. Capabilities below describe the intended operating model; availability follows the status labels used across Meridian modules.

Lot, batch and expiry traceability Shelf-life and quality constraints Holds, releases and recall readiness Catch-weight and variable-weight scenarios Customer-specific pricing and programs Retailer deductions and chargebacks EDI order-to-cash visibility Promotion and rebate accruals Gross-to-net profitability Inventory, production and fulfillment in one context
05 — Adoption path

Transformation without a forced big bang.

Start with one process. Connect operational execution to the systems you already run. Expand only where the business case is proven.

Stage 01

Coexist

Select one costly process. Connect Meridian to the required systems and establish a controlled operating model alongside retained systems of record.

Stage 02

Consolidate

Measure the result. Retire redundant spreadsheets, interfaces, point solutions, and manual reconciliations where justified by evidence.

Stage 03

Transform

Expand to adjacent domains using the same data, workflow, security, and audit foundations—when measurable results justify the next step.

Run the entire enterprise without enterprise drag—as a progressive outcome, not a day-one mandate.
06 — Platform substrate

Nine properties every module inherits.

These are not features bought per module. They are properties of the substrate: entity structure, jurisdiction, currency, locale, interface, partner transport, identity, evidence, and configuration are resolved once, then every capability above inherits them.

Counts describe the reference tenant, not a platform limit. Where a property depends on a jurisdiction or an external authority, it is labelled accordingly rather than claimed.

07 — One operating model

One operating model.
Every critical process.

A common operational model across transactions, decisions, and exceptions. Select a domain to trace what it depends on upstream and what it commits to downstream—designed to coexist with established enterprise systems.

02 — Modular architecture

Begin with one domain.
Keep the same foundation.

Three layers, one platform. Records, actions, and intelligence share the same data model, the same permissions, and the same audit trail—so expansion is configuration, not another implementation.

One data model · one identity · one audit trail
03 — Module explorer

Depth where you need it.
Nothing you don't.

Eight capability families on one foundation. Every module carries an explicit capability status, because knowing what is live today matters more than a longer feature list.

04 — Role-based experience

One platform.
Ten different first screens.

Everyone works from the same records and the same numbers. What changes is the decision each role has to make—and the actions the platform puts one click away.

Every partner.
Every document.
Every transaction.

Connect customers, suppliers, warehouses, carriers, banks, governments, and internal systems without losing control of the transaction.

06 — Workflow and change management

Change the process.
Not the source code.

Policies, approvals, forms, and rules are configuration objects with versions, tests, and release control. Follow a real change end to end.

07 — AI built into the work

AI that can explain itself.
And knows when to ask.

Recommendations are produced inside the process, against records the user is already permitted to see, and carry the evidence and approval path required to act on them.

Every recommendation, acceptance, and dismissal is written to the audit log with the model version, the prompt context, and the records used. AI cannot post, release, or pay without the approval the policy requires.

08 — Security and governance

Controls you can evidence.
Not controls you assert.

Security is architecture, not a feature list. Each control below is labelled with its real status so your security and audit teams can assess it honestly.

No certification badges are shown on this page. Where a control depends on an external audit or a jurisdictional authority, it is labelled as a certification roadmap item and tracked by the product team.

09 — Industry packs

One platform.
Configured for your industry.

Industry packs are configuration—terminology, process templates, KPI packages, data-model extensions—applied to the same platform. They are delivered progressively, and each pack states its own readiness.

10 — Operating model comparison

Built for how enterprises operate now.

A comparison of operating models, not of vendors. Many established platforms deliver extraordinary depth; the difference is how much organisational effort it takes to change them.

Monolithic programme model Capability is delivered as one large release, and changed by specialists through code.
Modular operating model Capability is delivered per domain, and changed by configuration under governance.

{{ c.dim }} {{ c.mechanismTag }} {{ c.meridian }} How: {{ c.mechanism }} {{ c.meridianLabel }}

Footnote: bars indicate the relative organisational effort each operating model typically demands and are illustrative, not measured. Product capabilities and availability vary by implementation stage. This comparison describes architectural approach and is not a benchmark of any named vendor's current product.

11 — Implementation and migration

A governed path.
At the pace you choose.

Coexist with one controlled process, consolidate where results justify it, then transform adjacent domains—without a forced big-bang replacement.

12 — Pricing

Transparent scope. Evidence-led business case.

Every engagement includes a transparent business case comparing the proposed Meridian scope with the current cost of applications, interfaces, support, manual work, and operational risk. Any assumed system retirement or saving is identified separately so the customer can validate it.

The commitment Compare Meridian to the cost of the operating model it changes. The comparison is not Meridian against zero. It is proposed scope against applications, interfaces, support effort, manual work, and operational risk today. Assumed retirements are listed separately for customer validation—never presented as guaranteed savings.
{{ p.k }} {{ p.v }}
{{ p.n }} {{ p.k }} {{ p.v }}

Figures are quoted against your actual scope, entities, and volumes rather than published as a headline, so the number you receive is the number that holds. Capability availability follows the status model above.

13 — Implementation guide

How an engagement actually starts.

Four steps before anything is bought. Each one produces something you keep—notes, an audit of your current stack, a timeline, and a proposal written against your own numbers.

{{ e.n }} {{ e.meta }} {{ e.k }}

{{ e.v }}

What you leave with {{ o }}
Our rule before any proposal Show the business case before asking for a platform decision. Every engagement begins by mapping what you already run and pay for: core systems, bolt-ons, connectors, spreadsheets that quietly hold a process together, and the operational risk those handoffs create. The proposal shows proposed Meridian scope beside current cost drivers. Assumed retirements and efficiency gains are identified separately so your team can validate each one.
