Tkoma is how your business keeps what your business knows.
A data stewardship platform.
What Tkoma is
Tkoma is the stewardship platform that frees your business data from any single vendor.
Stewardship is the discipline of caring for something you don't own. Tkoma keeps the history of how your business does what it does: the shape of your data, the way your people use it, the patterns that build up as you operate. It keeps that history outside the system that happens to produce it today. The platform is rooted. The ERP underneath it can change, and the knowledge stays.
Freeing your data means a schema, a structured map of how your data is organized, that Tkoma maintains independently of any one vendor. Your knowledge base lives somewhere you control. You can take it with you, fork it, archive it, or move it to another platform whenever you want. Tkoma's role is to keep it ready, not to keep it.
Tkoma is built for distributors who want to own what their business knows. Owners and CFOs who have watched their data get locked inside whatever software runs the company, and who would rather hold that knowledge themselves than rent it back from a vendor.
What Tkoma is not
A clarification, because the category is crowded with the wrong promises.
Not an AI platform. Tkoma is agentic; Tkoma is not about AI. Putting the acronym in the name was the trade made by every company that needed to raise in 2024. Tkoma was named in 2026, and named for what it does.
Not a BI tool.Tkoma does not compete with Tableau or Looker, and does not try to. Reporting is downstream of stewardship. If the data isn't yours, the dashboard is decoration.
Not an ERP. Tkoma does not replace the system you run on. It sits alongside whatever ERP is already in place and frees the data inside it.
Not the AI feature your ERP vendor announced last quarter. Native AI tools are, by construction, locked to their host. Tkoma is the only kind of platform that can credibly sell movement, because Tkoma is not the system of record. It is the steward of what the system of record knows.
Who Tkoma is for
One buyer in particular.
The owner, COO, or CFO of a business that runs on a serious system of record. A distributor on Encompass or VIP. A manufacturer on Epicor or SAP. A specialty contractor on Sage. A business that depends on that system completely, cannot easily replace it, and is not quite content to leave it as it is.
Tkoma is for businesses whose data has accreted. Where the schema reflects years of real operating decisions, and moving anything means understanding what your people built around it. If your business runs on data that carries history, Tkoma is built to keep it yours.
How Tkoma works
Three movements, repeated for as long as the business runs.
Tkoma sits alongside your ERP, reading from it continuously.
Tkoma connects to whatever you already run on. It does not replace the system, and it does not migrate the data inside it. The ERP keeps doing what it does. Tkoma quietly maintains a structured mirror of what's happening, beside it, in your environment.
Your operational knowledge accumulates in a structured store you own.
Every record, every relationship, every pattern that matters is written into a knowledge base that lives in your environment, in your storage, under your name. The schema is documented and portable. Nothing in it is proprietary to Tkoma.
You can ask questions in plain English; you can also take your data and walk away.
The agentic layer reads the knowledge base in plain language. You ask, it answers, in your own words. And if Tkoma ever stops serving you, the knowledge base is yours to take, in a format anyone can read. That is the meaning of the word stewardship.
