Light vs Pluvo
Pluvo is an AI platform for finance and strategy teams that connects read-only to the ERP, accounting, CRM, billing and spend systems you already run, and turns that data into forecasts, variance analysis, close packages and board reports. Light is one agentic ledger where the general ledger, cards, bills, vendor payments, billing and consolidation sit in the same books, so reporting reads the live ledger.
