The story

Founded in 2022 by Sanjay Mahalingam after frustration with managing a multi-location real estate portfolio using spreadsheets and PDFs, Spacetil evolved from a contract and document management tool into a full AI-native ERP for multi-unit enterprises including franchises, retail chains, and hospitality groups. The platform now covers end-to-end back-office automation: AP, general ledger, payroll, lease management, and vendor management. Its embedded finance angle is the integration of AP automation (via Mercoa) and embedded payroll directly into the ERP workflow, positioning Spacetil as a financial OS for operators with 10–10,000+ locations.
