Quince is the inventory + accounting system for $1M–$50M manufacturers and distributors who outgrew QuickBooks-plus-a-spreadsheet but can't justify a NetSuite rollout.
● Open beta — no credit card, no Calendly call, no sales rep.
Every physical move on the floor lands in the general ledger inside the same database transaction. Your trial balance can't drift from what's on the shelf because they share a single source of truth.
Scan a barcode on your phone. PWA works offline; the receiver doesn't need a desk, a laptop, or a "let me check the system" call.
An append-only inventory_txns row records who, what, where, when, and how much. Immutable. Adjustments post new rows, never overwrites.
Inventory asset goes up, AP or COGS moves to match — inside the same database transaction. Your trial balance moves the moment the receipt clears.

We built Quince because the inventory spreadsheet and the books drift apart every month — and the answer can't be a $400k NetSuite implementation. Operators in the $1M–$50M range get squeezed: too big for QuickBooks-plus-a-spreadsheet, too lean for an ERP team. So they keep patching, keep reconciling, keep guessing at what's on the shelf.
Quince is the Radien Systems product for that gap. Inventory and accounting on a single ledger, with a mobile floor app and a 33-account standard manufacturer COA seeded per workspace. Open beta, free while we harden it. If you've ever closed a month with a $20k inventory variance and no idea where it came from — this is built for you.
Spin up a workspace, import a CSV, scan a barcode. The whole loop takes about ten minutes.
