A hardware company's books do not behave like a SaaS company's: cash sits in inventory, margins move with the BOM, and the filing calendar picks up obligations a services business never sees. Generic dashboards flatten all of that. deciqAI carries a hardware-specific layer for exactly this shape of business.
── ── What it does
- Maps QuickBooks/Xero accounts to hardware-specific canonical lines
- Computes inventory and margin KPIs from your real books
- Layers hardware-industry filing obligations onto your entity's calendar
- Prices every deadline that carries a statutory penalty formula
- Keeps documents, deadlines, and exposure on one board your accountant can see
- Answers questions about your numbers in English or Chinese
What does the hardware layer actually change?
Your chart of accounts is mapped to canonical lines with hardware-specific accounts, so inventory, cost of goods, and margin KPIs are computed from the right lines instead of a services template. The KPI set is hardware-specific — built around inventory and margin, the numbers a hardware operator actually watches.
What filing obligations does it add?
Hardware-industry obligations are layered on top of your entity's own calendar — they add to it, never replace it. Every tracked deadline carries its dollar figure where a statutory penalty formula exists, computed from the statute, never modelled.
How does this reach my accountant?
The same board your accountant sees. Deadlines, exposure, and the documents behind them live in one place, so the year-end conversation is not a shoebox of receipts — it is a calendar that has been priced all year.
FAQ
My company is robotics, not consumer hardware — does this still fit?
Yes. The hardware layer is about the shape of the business — inventory, BOM-driven margins, physical-product obligations — not the end market.
Where do the KPI benchmarks come from?
There are none, deliberately. Benchmarks are only honest when they come from real books, so the agent computes your numbers and refuses to invent an industry average to compare them against.
Does it replace my accountant?
No. It keeps the books mapped, the KPIs computed, and the calendar priced so your accountant works from a live picture instead of a year-end archaeology dig. Filing decisions and signatures stay with them.
