Private beta: now accepting partners in Singapore

Your contracts already know what to bill.

Meranti reads your signed contracts, turns the terms into billing rules, sends GST-ready invoices and matches the payments that come back. Every amount traces to the clause that created it. Built in Singapore for finance teams across Southeast Asia.

Places in the first cohort are limited. Every partner starts with a free billing audit.

One clause, followed all the way to cash. Every number in Meranti can be walked back to the contract term, the rule and the approval behind it.

Revenue leaks between the contract and the ledger.

Contracts sit in a shared drive. Billing runs off a spreadsheet someone built three finance managers ago. Payments arrive with references like “INV142+143 less bank chg”. Month-end is where it all gets pieced together by hand.

  • An uplift nobody applied

    The 5% increase was in the renewal. The invoice template never changed.

  • Usage billed from memory

    Overages worked out from last month’s export, or not billed at all.

  • Discounts that outstayed the deal

    A three-month launch discount, still running in month eleven.

  • Payments that match nothing

    Bundled, partial and net-of-fees transfers left unallocated until the auditors ask.

  • Tax decided invoice by invoice

    Standard-rated, zero-rated or out of scope, depending on who raised it that month.

From signed contract to settled invoice.

  1. 1

    Read the contract

    Upload signed agreements or connect your e-signature tool. Meranti pulls out prices, tiers, minimums, uplifts, billing dates and payment terms, and asks you to confirm anything it isn’t sure of.

  2. 2

    Turn terms into rules

    Each term becomes a billing rule in plain language that your team reads and approves. The schedule for the whole contract is set up front, renewals included.

  3. 3

    Invoice and collect

    Invoices go out on schedule with the right tax treatment, over InvoiceNow or email, with a PayNow QR attached. Reminders follow your payment terms and your tone.

  4. 4

    Match and post

    Incoming payments are matched to invoices, partial and bundled ones included. Journals post to your accounting system with a link back to the contract.

AI reads the contract.
Arithmetic does the billing.

Language models are good at understanding a messy contract and unreliable at being exactly right about money. So Meranti splits the job: AI proposes the rules, a person approves them, and a deterministic engine applies them the same way every time.

Readable rules

Every amount comes from a rule someone on your team approved and can read in plain language.

Traceable numbers

Every invoice line links to the clause, the rule and the approval behind it. Your auditors follow the same path.

Honest gaps

When something doesn’t reconcile, Meranti shows exactly what’s missing instead of guessing a match.

Built for how Southeast Asia bills.

Most billing software treats the region as a localisation task. Meranti starts here, with the tax, e-invoicing and payment rails your customers actually use. The beta covers Singapore first: GST, InvoiceNow, PayNow and SGD. Malaysia comes next.

Tax
GST in Singapore, SST in Malaysia and VAT across the region, applied line by line with the correct treatment and shown on every invoice.
E-invoicing
InvoiceNow (Peppol) in Singapore and MyInvois in Malaysia, built in from day one rather than bolted on.
Payments
Collect through licensed payment partners, straight into your own bank account. Meranti never holds your money.
  • PayNow
  • DuitNow
  • PromptPay
  • QRIS
  • QR Ph
  • GIRO
  • Bank transfer
Currencies
Bill in your customer’s currency, with the exchange rate recorded on every invoice.
  • SGD
  • MYR
  • IDR
  • THB
  • PHP
  • VND
  • USD
Billing models
Subscriptions, usage, retainers, milestones, term fees, minimum commitments, tiered pricing, vouchers and discounts, often all in one contract.
Accounting systems
Posts to Xero, NetSuite, QuickBooks and SAP Business One. Keep the ledger you already have.

Become a beta partner.

We’re opening Meranti to a small first cohort of Singapore finance teams. Partners start with a free billing audit, then run Meranti alongside their current billing as each part comes online.

What you get

  • A free audit of one quarter’s billing, with a dollar figure against every leak we find
  • Free use of Meranti for the whole beta
  • Founding-partner pricing when Meranti launches
  • A direct line to the founding team and a real say in what we build first

What we ask

  • One quarter of contracts and invoices, shared under NDA
  • A 30-minute call every two weeks while the beta runs
  • Honest feedback, especially when something doesn’t work

A good fit: a Singapore company that bills other businesses on signed contracts, still runs invoicing through spreadsheets and an accounting system, and has a finance lead who wants that fixed.

Apply for the beta.

Here’s how the beta runs once you apply.

  1. 1

    Apply

    Tell us how you bill today. We reply within two working days.

  2. 2

    Intro call

    Thirty minutes to check fit, followed by a mutual NDA.

  3. 3

    Billing audit

    We reconcile one quarter of contracts against invoices and payments, then walk you through what we found.

  4. 4

    Parallel run

    Meranti bills alongside your current process. You switch over only when the numbers match.

Documents are deleted when the audit ends unless you ask us to keep them. You keep the audit report whether or not you continue.

Apply for the beta

Takes about two minutes.

We only use these details to review your application.

Application received

Thanks. We’ll email you within two working days to set up an intro call.

Questions finance teams ask first.

What is the Meranti beta?

A small first cohort of Singapore finance teams who use Meranti before general release. Each partner gets a free billing audit, free use of Meranti during the beta and a direct line to the people building it.

What does it cost?

Nothing during the beta. Partners who stay on get founding-partner pricing when Meranti launches.

Do we have to change how we bill today?

No. Meranti runs alongside your current process during the beta, and your existing invoices remain the record until you choose to switch.

Does Meranti replace our accounting system?

No. Meranti covers contract to cash: billing schedules, invoices, collections and payment matching. It posts the results into the accounting system you already use.

Does Meranti hold or move our money?

No. Your customers pay through licensed payment partners directly into your bank account. Meranti reads the payment data so it can match it.

How do you stop AI from getting amounts wrong?

AI never calculates an amount. It proposes billing rules from your contracts, a person on your team approves them, and a deterministic engine does the maths the same way every time.

Who can join?

For now, Singapore companies that bill other businesses on signed contracts. Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia follow after the first cohort.
