Never miss a budget variance again.
Erickson Platform watches actuals against plan every day, tracks burn rate, and flags the category that is about to go off track. You get a clean read on budget pace before the month closes.

Keep every unit in view.
Multi-unit finance needs one source of truth. Erickson Platform rolls up location budgets, shows unit health at a glance, and keeps the board packet from turning into a spreadsheet hunt.
Location health map
One roll-up. One decision path.
Use one dashboard for franchisor oversight and a second view for each location manager. Compare stores, spot outliers, and keep spend aligned to unit goals.
Automated roll-up reports
Monthly summaries arrive in the format your leadership team already uses.
Cross-location benchmarking
AI compares labor, supplies, and local marketing by store, so the weak spot shows fast.
Manager accountability
Each unit sees the numbers tied to its own budget and pace.
Handle Q4 without guesswork.
Ad spend moves fast when orders spike. Erickson Platform compares today’s spend with last year’s same period, then adjusts the plan before paid media eats the month.
Manual control
Budgets get updated after the spend spike. The report arrives late. The fix is already old.
AI-assisted control
The plan shifts before the overspend hits. Channel costs, inventory timing, and seasonal lift stay in the same view.
Keep restricted funds clean.
When a grant has limits, the budget needs to show it plainly. Erickson Platform separates restricted and unrestricted spend, adds funder-ready commentary, and alerts you before a program line gets too close to the edge.
Board and funder reports
Use one clean report view for leadership updates and grant compliance checks.
Limit alerts
See when a program line moves too near its cap, before the next reimbursement cycle.
