Datarails builds an AI-native platform for financial planning and analysis (FP&A). Its central proposition is that finance teams should not have to abandon Excel to modernise: the software keeps existing spreadsheet models in place while automating the manual consolidation of data drawn from other systems. The company's technical work spans data integration, spreadsheet automation, natural language querying and reporting analytics, applied to the particular constraints of financial workflows.
The core product, the Datarails FP&A Platform, connects to more than 200 ERP, CRM and other business systems, assembling a single source of truth that feeds automatically into Excel models and reduces the errors associated with hand-copying figures. Alongside it sits Datarails AI, an assistant pitched as "the ChatGPT for the CFO's Office", which allows users to query financial data, generate reports and surface insights in natural language rather than through manual assembly.
The platform is deployed across sectors including manufacturing, healthcare, retail, technology and finance. Engineering work is shaped by the problem the company sets out to solve: relieving finance professionals of repetitive data handling while leaving the tools they know intact, treating the spreadsheet as infrastructure to be built upon rather than replaced. Further details on team size, funding and founding history are not published here; more is available at datarails.com.
