The financial truth layer for omnichannel brands.

YOUR CFO'S DAILY OPERATING MODEL

The answer to "where did our margin go?" before anyone has to ask.

Manta builds a daily management P&L across every channel — DTC, Amazon, retail, and wholesale — already accounting for channel fees, returns, COGS, inbound and outbound freight, trade spend, and deductions. The gross-to-net waterfall shows exactly where revenue is leaking at every stage, from gross sales to net contribution margin, by SKU, customer, channel, and retailer.

• Daily contribution margin by SKU, channel, customer, and retailer — updated in real time.
• Gross-to-net waterfall from gross revenue to net contribution, with every cost layer visible.
• AI variance explanations that tell your CFO why margin moved, not just that it did.
• Plan vs. actual tracking with alerts the moment a channel, SKU, or customer deviates from budget.

YOUR CFO'S TRADE INTELLIGENCE PARTNER

Know every dollar of trade spend before it hits your margin and recover what was wrongly taken.

Trade spend is the most mismanaged cost in consumer goods. Most brands discover deductions after they have already hit the P&L, with no clear link to the original promotion and no process to dispute invalid claims. Manta closes that gap entirely, planning, accruing, matching, and recovering trade spend as an active financial workflow, not a retrospective accounting exercise.

• AI classifies every incoming deduction by type — scanback, billback, co-op, slotting, shortage, damage, or invalid — and matches it to its source promotion, invoice, and SKU.
• Accrual engine estimates trade spend before deductions arrive so the P&L reflects reality in real time.
• Invalid and unsupported deductions are flagged automatically, with dispute documentation generated and recovery workflows initiated.
• Promotion ROI is calculated against actual sell-through data, not retailer estimates, so every trade investment is measured on its true return.

YOUR CFO'S FORWARD-LOOKING PARTNER

A 13-week cash forecast that knows your business and updates itself.

Inventory is cash in another form, and a cash forecast that does not account for expected trade deductions, open purchase orders, and retailer payment behavior is not a forecast, it is a guess. Manta builds a rolling 13-week cash forecast from live operating data and the AI engine updates it automatically as new information arrives. Your CFO stress-tests decisions in plain language and gets answers with the model already run.

• AI-generated forecast built from your actual settlement schedules, retailer payment terms, deduction history, and open AP and AR.
• Base, downside, and growth scenarios modeled simultaneously — stress-test any inventory buy, trade program, or payment delay.
• Cash low-point alerts triggered before a shortfall becomes a crisis.
• Natural-language scenario queries: "Can we place this PO next week without going below minimum cash?" answered instantly, with the model behind it.

YOUR REPORTING PARTNER

Tell Manta exactly what you need. It builds the report from live data.

Manta does not generate reports on a schedule and hope they are relevant. You describe the report — the scope, the audience, the format, the level of detail — and Manta assembles it from the live financial model in seconds. Board packs, investor updates, weekly margin summaries, channel performance reviews. Built on demand, from real numbers, without a single manual export.

• Describe any report in plain language and receive a fully formatted output built from live data.
• Board packs, investor memos, and operating reviews generated on demand — not from exported spreadsheets.
• AI variance explanations included automatically: "Gross margin declined 2.8 points. Primary driver: a 6-point increase in trade deductions from Kroger, partially offset by improved DTC contribution."
• Every figure in every report is traceable to its source transaction — no black boxes, no unexplained numbers.
