Caleandro helps early-stage companies pick the right ERP, cut the noise around AI, and turn both into decisions your team can actually act on. Backed by a real founder with 20 years transforming ERP systems, from Deloitte and IBM to the founder's seat.
If you don't have the right ERP yet
Four ways we help small teams choose an ERP built to last through Series B and stand it up without the drama.
We cut through vendor noise and match you to the ERP that fits your headcount, budget, and complexity today, and grows with you as your needs evolve.
Hands-on project management through go-live: data migration, workflow config, and training so your team adopts the system from day one.
We identify where AI actually saves time in finance, ops, and reporting, and skip the projects that just look good in a board deck.
Ongoing, on-call guidance as you scale, so every new hire, process, or funding round doesn't mean rebuilding your systems from scratch.
If you already have an ERP
Your ERP already produces the data. We connect it to AI agents that take on the repetitive work, freeing your team to focus on judgment and decisions.
We start with the file exports and recurring data flows your team already produces, pinpoint the ones AI agents can reliably own, and shape that data so it's ready for them.
We rapidly create the specific AI skills your business needs, tuned to your data, your processes, and your terminology.
We roll the workflows into production alongside your key stakeholders, so they're trusted, owned, and running day to day.
As your data and processes evolve, we keep the agents accurate, retire what no longer fits, and add new skills as fresh automation opportunities appear.
What you need from your systems changes at every funding stage, so we meet you where you are.
Everything still lives in manual spreadsheets. You need lightweight systems and just enough structure to present scalable unit economics and financial models to investors. Assumptions change daily, and speed is paramount.
Headcount and pilot customers are gaining traction. You need systems that track equity and valuation, development dollars, pilot and unit metrics, with an eye toward scalability still tied to early assumptions.
Investors and new leaders expect real reporting. We help you graduate your systems and processes without a disruptive, all-at-once overhaul. Customer adoption and the data behind it are vital to continued investment and value.
Growth is compounding and the complexity is real. You now have more income streams, and every deviation from your initial business assumptions has to be explained and accounted for. We make sure your systems scale cleanly.
Early-stage founders usually get pitched two flawed options. Large consulting firms bring a machine: big teams, layered process, and generic playbooks built for enterprises. Independent advisors often bring something worse, a handshake deal for equity or a board seat, sold on the promise of their network, that too often ends in promises made and promises broken. Caleandro is neither.
The cost of the wrong ERP, or the right one implemented poorly, shows up every month. Getting it right early keeps that money in the business, and unlocks the outcomes founders actually care about.
Find where your organization is losing time and reclaim it.
Automate repetitive work so your team focuses on customers.
Capture tribal knowledge before it disappears.
Connect your systems into a single source of operational truth.
And it pays for itself.
Figures are illustrative of typical early-stage engagements; actual results vary by company and starting point.
We audit your current tools, workflows, and data to pinpoint what's really slowing your team down.
You get a prioritized plan: which ERP or systems changes matter now, which AI use cases are worth pursuing, and what can wait.
We manage rollout end to end: configuration, data migration, and training, so adoption doesn't stall after the kickoff meeting.
Systems get revisited as you grow. We stay on as an advisor so your stack evolves smoothly with every new round.
Caleandro is led by Leandro Vera, who brings 20 years in ERP and technology-enabled business transformation, first at Deloitte Consulting and IBM Business Consulting Group, and later as an independent advisor to growing companies.
He has also lived the climb himself. As a co-founder of Swiftmile, a startup building charging infrastructure for micromobility, Leandro helped take the company from its first angel checks through a successful Series A and, ultimately, to a sale. He has sat in the founder's chair, made the same systems calls his clients face, and knows firsthand what it takes to build a company worth acquiring.
That range matters most at the early stages. Leandro has worked hands-on with the systems startups actually begin on, like QuickBooks and Odoo, and knows exactly how and when to grow into platforms like NetSuite, Sage, and Infor without a painful, premature migration.
The result is guidance grounded in both enterprise-grade consulting and real founder experience, sized for early-stage teams: practical, sequenced, and built to scale with you.
Results from working with early-stage teams to get their systems right.
Leandro saved us from signing a six-figure ERP contract we absolutely did not need. He right-sized our stack, and we reinvested that budget straight back into product.
Our month-end close went from a two-week scramble to a few clean days. For the first time our board deck numbers actually matched the system of record.
He speaks founder, not consultant. Practical, sequenced advice on when to move off QuickBooks and what to move to. No jargon, no overselling.
Tell us where things feel messy, whether ERP, AI, or both, and we'll follow up with next steps.
