Governed agents for the work that commits your business.
elan1 Work runs governed AI agents for work that commits: ERP on ERPNext, Revenue for CRM, Commerce for storefronts and Voice for approvals by phone. Agents draft changes; nothing is written without a rule check, a named person where your rules ask, and a proof record. Indian firms can move from Tally with a migration.

01What it does
A governed change layer over your system of record.
Checked and recorded by elan1 Govern.
The line every change carries.
An agent compiles a typed change. Gates built from your own books check it before anything is written. A person approves it when your rules say so. elan1 Govern makes the write and keeps the record. ERPNext comes first, then CRM and storefront. Approvals can also come in by voice.
Who it’s for
Firms whose books have to stand up.
- Owners and finance heads of Indian firms with ₹5–50 crore turnover.
- Firms that face the MCA audit-trail requirement or e-invoicing.
- Chartered accountants, who introduce, implement or verify for their clients.

04elan1 WORK FOR SMALL FIRMS
elan1 Work for small firms
The India SMB edition, introduced by your CA.
elan1 Work for small firms is the edition for Indian small and mid-sized businesses, and your chartered accountant introduces it. Each change carries ‘Checked and recorded by elan1 Govern’. CAs can join as Introducer, Implementer or Verifier partners.
Introducer
Brings the edition to the clients it fits, and stays the first call for questions about their books.
Implementer
Sets up the ERP line for a client: the gates, the approvers and the autonomy each write type runs at.
Verifier
Reads the proof records in the CA console: what changed, who approved it and why, across every client.

05How it connects to elan1 Govern
Work proposes and Govern allows.
Every change, and every undo, goes through KernelPort and the Right Path, and leaves its own proof record. An agent never approves its own change.
- AgentCompiles a typed changeWhat changes, in which record, by how much: one typed write, never free text.
- Your booksGates check itG1 Ledger, G2 Stock, G3 Permissions, G4 GST and G8 MCA run before anything is written.
- A named personSays yes or noWhen your rules say so, an approver who is not the asker decides: in the console, on WhatsApp or by voice.
- elan1 GovernMakes the writeA single writer applies the change in ERPNext. Govern keeps the 16-field proof record.
- You and your CARead the recordWhat changed, who approved it and why, in your console and across clients in the CA console.
06Inside the product
The Work console, screen by screen.
From the morning queue to an approval on WhatsApp: a change reviewed, a gate warning, a refusal, the proof records and the CA's view across clients. Choose a screen; each lists what to look for.
01 / 14 · Today
Today
- Every figure says where it came from and when it was read, so nothing on the page is a guess.
- The 'Needs you' list puts changes, gate warnings and drafts in one place, each with a deadline.
- Spend is shown against the monthly allowance, with a projection, before anyone has to ask.
- 'Pause all writes' sits at the top of the page, one click from anywhere.
02 / 14 · Work
Awaiting approval
- The person who asked for a change cannot approve it.
- Each row shows the gate results, the cost and how long is left before the approval expires.
- The side panel shows what changes, whether it can be undone and what was tested, before you open the full review.
03 / 14 · Work
Change review
- The summary row gives changes, destructive steps, undo window, business impact and cost at a glance.
- Every change is shown before and after, with the exact message a user will see.
- 'Why the agent did it this way' lists the questions it asked and the answers it was given.
- Approving asks for a one-time code; rejecting asks you to tell the agent why.
04 / 14 · Work
Gate check, live
- Every check is written from the company's own data; none of them uses a model or a guess.
- Blocking checks stop at the first failure, so a broken ledger never reaches approval.
- The tax check confirms GST returns still generate and no filed period is touched.
- The banner makes clear this is a copy; nothing on this screen touches the live site.
05 / 14 · Work
Gate warning: your reason needed
- The warning names the exact effect: ₹14,76,000 of tax moving from IGST to CGST + SGST across 41 invoices.
- The customers affected are listed, with billed-to and delivered-to side by side.
- The reason is attached to the approval and the proof record, and appears in the audit pack.
- One tap sends the review to the company's CA before anything is published.
06 / 14 · Work
Refusal: not allowed
- The refusal names the rule, the policy version and the code, and says the live site was not touched.
- It offers what it can do instead: draft the six payment entries for a person to submit.
- Each refusal uses 0.4 of a credit and is kept as a proof record, the same as a change.
- Closed periods and bank details follow the same layout and the same two actions.
07 / 14 · Work
Confirm it is you
- A single-use code by SMS or WhatsApp, or a registered passkey.
- The summary repeats what is being approved: changes, gates passed, cost and undo window.
- Asked by one person, approved by another, and both names are recorded.
08 / 14 · Work
Needs a person
- The page says why it was handed over, in plain words and with the gate code.
- A named owner, a pick-up time against target and the time of the next update.
- Both options are prepared on a copy, so the decision stays with the customer and their CA.
- Nothing is charged while the request is with elan1 Work.
09 / 14 · Assurance
Proof records
- The chain is checked every night, and the result is shown at the top of the page.
- Refusals sit alongside commits; they count as evidence.
- Each row shows who decided, through which channel, the gate results and the cost.
- Refusal rate and cost per change are shown side by side, always.
10 / 14 · Assurance
Export audit pack
- Periods line up with GST returns, so a pack can match the filing it supports.
- Refusals, override reasons and elan1 Work staff access are included by default.
- Each pack gets a permanent link; every opening of it is logged.
11 / 14 · CA console
CA console: client book
- Access is per client and shown on every row: read and approve, or view only.
- Gate failures this month are counted per client, each stopped before it reached the live books.
- The CA never sees a client's books from here; they open the client to act inside its own site.
12 / 14 · CA console
CA console: filing calendar
- elan1 Work does not file; it tells the CA whether each return generates cleanly and what is in the way.
- The banner names the clients that are not ready for the next return, and why.
- Platform freezes and change windows are shown on the same calendar as the due dates.
13 / 14 · Tally migration
Tally migration: trial-balance tie-out
- Debits, credits, every mapped account, receivables, payables and stock are compared line by line.
- Go-live is held because three accounts differ; there is no override in any plan.
- Each difference names the mapping row responsible and says what would fix it.
14 / 14 · Channels
WhatsApp: ask, answer, approve
- The request, the two clarifying questions and the build all happen in the chat.
- The approver gets a summary of the gate results and a link that works once, for one number.
- The result message carries the proof record number and an undo link.
- WhatsApp never approves anything itself, and it is read-only for money.

09Where it is weak
What elan1 Work does not do.
Plain limits, so you can plan around them.
- It runs on ERPNext only.There is no Tally connector. Tally users move across with a migration.
- Attach is Mode B.On your own ERPNext, changes are evaluated and recorded. We do not say they are blocked.
- The gates are built for Indian books.GST, e-invoicing and the MCA audit-trail rule come first.
- ERP is the base line.Revenue, Voice and Commerce sit on top of an ERP plan; none is sold on its own.
- An undo is deliberate, not instant.An undo changes the books, so it takes the same gates and the same approver as the change it reverses.

11FAQ
Eight direct answers.
Yes, within limits you set. The agent drafts a typed change, gates such as G1 Ledger, G4 GST and G8 MCA check it against your books, and where your rules require a person, a named approver who is not the asker says yes or no. A single writer then posts the entry, and a proof record is kept.
elan1 Work runs on ERPNext, so your books move from Tally to ERPNext. The Tally → ERPNext migration costs ₹24,999 one-time and includes a dry run, a reconciliation and your CA's sign-off before go-live.
Four plans by annual turnover: Nano for ₹1–5 crore at ₹2,499 a month, Growth for ₹5–20 crore at ₹7,999, Scale for ₹20–100 crore at ₹19,999, and Enterprise above ₹100 crore from ₹49,999 a month. A 14-day Sandbox trial costs nothing. All prices are exclusive of GST.
Your CA reads every change, who approved it and why, across all clients in the CA console, and can approve changes where your rules name them. CA seats are free for every client site, always.
A credit is a rendering of governed actions, never a separate count, so you never pay twice for one change. Each plan includes a monthly allowance; credits beyond it cost ₹0.80 each. A change that Govern refuses uses 0.4 of a credit (₹0.32 at ₹0.80 per credit).
Yes, through Attach. Changes are evaluated against your rules and recorded. elan1 does not hold your write credential in that setup, so we do not say they are blocked.
Yes. An undo changes the books, so it takes the same path and leaves its own record.
Yes. elan1 Work and its four lines, ERP, Revenue, Voice and Commerce, are available now. Early adopters can also join the design-partner programme and shape what comes next.
