|---|---|---|

| Arquitectura | One AI-native ledger; consolidation posts as transactions happen | Enterprise batch ERPs; period-end runs per entity |
| Agentes | Agents complete work end to end inside your controls; every action logged and attributable | Copilots (Joule, Text Enhance); assistive only |
| Configuración | Astra learns from your data and suggests workflow and configuration changes to increase performance; applied in-product, no consultants | SI and admin-led change cycles |
| Gestión de suscripciones | Contract-based invoicing and deferred revenue automated | Separately licensed modules (BRIM, SuiteBilling) |

Light frente a la lista de ERP corporativos
Most enterprise evaluations end with SAP and NetSuite on the same slide: the deep one and the broad one. They differ in scale, price and ecosystem, but they share the operating model that actually determines your team's week: batch processing, module seams, humans doing the work, and an implementation partner between you and every change.
Light is the alternative to the model, not just to either vendor: one AI-native ledger, native sub-ledgers, agents completing the work inside your controls, and a close that runs continuously.
Implementación: semanas frente a programas
Either incumbent choice opens with an SI engagement: 6 to 18 months for NetSuite, 12 to 24+ for S/4HANA. Light implementations run in weeks with a dedicated in-house team, and the finance team operates the platform from the first close.
El coste de los módulos adicionales
Subscriptions need BRIM or SuiteBilling; spend needs Concur or marketplace partners; analytics needs SAC or SuiteAnalytics tiers; support has its own price list. On Light, AP, AR, cards, expenses, procurement, billing, consolidation, reporting and agents are one product.
Copilotos frente a agentes
Joule and NetSuite's AI features assist a human who still does the work. Light's agents run AP, reconciliations, accruals and consolidation in production today, logged and inside approval thresholds.
Operaciones globales
Both incumbents cover the globe at enterprise implementation cost. Light ships multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation with local payment rails and tax logic across 80+ countries as default platform behaviour, which is why multinationals from hundreds of millions to billions in revenue run on it.
Signs you’ve outgrown SAP and NetSuite
Estás eligiendo entre 2 eras de procesamiento por lotes
SAP y NetSuite difieren en escala y precio, no en el modelo operativo: los humanos hacen el trabajo, el sistema lo registra. Light cambia el propio modelo: los agentes hacen el trabajo bajo tus controles.
La implementación es el producto
Cualquier opción comienza con un proyecto de integración medido en trimestres. Las implementaciones de Light se miden en semanas y las dirige el equipo que desarrolló el producto.
Cada funcionalidad es una licencia más
Módulos de facturación, niveles de analítica, planes de soporte. Light ofrece la plataforma completa: cuentas a pagar, cuentas a cobrar, gastos, consolidación, reporting y agentes.
“Evaluamos a varios proveedores. Light ganó porque cubre todo nuestro stack financiero, ingresos, cuentas a cobrar, cuentas a pagar, gastos y consolidación, sin tener que unir un mosaico de soluciones puntuales.”
