Linoscore PMO.
Governance above your ledger.
SAP knows what you spent. It has almost nothing to say about why you funded it, who approved it, or whether you got the return. Linoscore PMO is the control tower that owns those decisions — business case to AFE to budget to delivery to measured benefit — sitting above whatever ERP runs your money.
Your ERP owns the ledger. It doesn’t own the decisions.
Every ERP transformation runs its governance on spreadsheets and inboxes — the business case, the approvals, the reforecasts, the benefit that was promised. That’s where budgets quietly die. Six failure modes we see on almost every program:
The decision lives in Excel
Why you funded it, the ROI you promised, who signed off — none of that is in SAP. It's in a workbook on someone's laptop, and it drifts the moment the project starts.
Approvals are an email thread
A $2M AFE gets approved in a reply-all nobody can find six months later. No trail, no thresholds enforced, no way to prove who authorized what.
Actuals you can't trust
The dashboard shows a confident number. Nobody can say whether it came from the GL or a stale spreadsheet paste. Finance re-checks everything by hand anyway.
Budget vs. delivery live apart
The money is in one tool, the sprint board in another, the status deck in a third. 'How's the budget?' and 'how's delivery?' are the same question, answered separately.
Reforecasts arrive too late
By the time an overrun surfaces in the monthly report, the money's committed. There's no early signal when reality diverges from the plan.
Benefits are never measured
The business case promised a return. After go-live nobody circles back to check. The next investment gets approved on the same unverified optimism.
Every number carries its source. Or it doesn’t render as real.
Most executive dashboards are confidence machines: they’ll show you a crisp “actuals” figure and never say where it came from. Linoscore PMO won’t. Every currency figure is tagged with its origin — and if a number can’t be traced to a real ERP posting, the app tells you so instead of pretending.
Traced to a real posting
Reconciled against a GL entry in your ERP. This is the number Finance can sign.
Shown, but flagged
A manual entry or a figure not yet matched to the ledger. Visible — and honest about what it is.
Never a fake zero
Missing is shown as missing. A dashboard that can lie about money is worse than the spreadsheet it replaced.
One thread from business case to measured benefit.
The decision, the authorization, the money, and the work — connected, not scattered across six tools. Each phase hands cleanly to the next, and the trail is intact end to end.
Business case & ROI
Draft the case, estimate cost and benefit, and calculate ROI against the Annual Operating Plan. The AI Advisor pressure-tests the assumptions before anyone signs.
Authorize the spend
Authorization for Expenditure with a real approval chain — L1 → L2 → Executive → Board, gated by amount. Every approval is recorded, not remembered.
Fund & baseline
Release funding, create the project budget, and lock the baseline. From here, every variance is measured against a number you can point to.
Track the work
Kanban board, sprints, backlog, and velocity — the delivery execution living in the same control tower as the budget that funds it.
Actuals & forecast
Commitments and actuals flow from the ERP, each tagged with its source. Forecasts update, overruns raise alerts, and the reforecast is one click, not one month.
Close & measure
Financially close the investment, then measure the benefit against what the business case promised — so the next approval is made on evidence, not optimism.
Ten modules, one control tower.
Role-gated from requester to executive. Buy the governance layer; the strategic portfolio and delivery views come with it.
Control Tower
Executive dashboard: risk heat map, workstream tracker, portfolio KPIs at a glance.
Portfolio
Every initiative in one hierarchy — programs, projects, value streams, and how they roll up.
Roadmap
Time-phased view of the portfolio: what's in flight, what's next, where the dependencies bite.
AOP
Annual Operating Plan — line items by cost center and GL account, quarterly budgets, CapEx / OpEx split.
AFE
Authorization for Expenditure with a multi-level approval workflow and a full authorization trail.
Financial Plan
AOP vs. actuals vs. forecast in real time, with overrun detection and severity-ranked alerts.
Delivery
Kanban, sprints, backlog, and velocity for PMs and scrum masters — next to the money.
Resources
T&M allocations and capacity across projects, tied back to the plan they're funded under.
Analytics
Portfolio spend trends, ROI, and benefit realization — every figure provenance-tagged.
AI Advisor
Claude-powered program advisor: scenario simulation, forecast generation, risk analysis.
The right people sign, at the right threshold.
AFEs route by amount through a configurable approval ladder. No $2M authorization slipping through on a one-line email — the threshold decides who signs, and every approval is recorded in the audit trail.
L1 Manager
L2 Director
Executive (CFO)
Board
Thresholds are configurable per organization.
Your money stays in your ERP. The decisions live here.
Linoscore PMO doesn’t replace your ledger — it reads from it. Connectors pull GL actuals and commitments, each figure carrying its provenance so the governance layer and the ledger stay honest with each other.

NetSuite and additional connectors on the roadmap. Manual GL postings supported, and always labelled as such.
Built for the people accountable for the money.
Program directors, transformation PMOs, and the finance leaders who have to defend the number in the steering committee.
Program & transformation directors
One control tower for the whole investment — no more reconciling three tools before every SteerCo.
PMO & finance business partners
Provenance on every figure means you defend numbers you can trace, not numbers you hope are right.
Delivery leads & scrum masters
Run sprints and backlog where the budget lives, so delivery status and burn are the same conversation.
See governance you can actually trust.
