Components

Reeve Platform

Reeve platform is the software stack used in the backend to run all processes related to financial data management. It consists of different modules and can be run in a distributed manner, allowing for scalability and flexibility in deployment. The relevant modules are: Accounting Core, Blockchain Publisher, ERP Adapter and Organisation

Accounting Core: This module serves as the core component for accounting and reporting functionalities. It manages the processing and generation of financial reports, ensuring data integrity and compliance with accounting standards.
Blockchain Publisher: This module is responsible for publishing financial data to the Cardano blockchain, ensuring that all transactions are recorded immutably and transparently.
ERP Adapter: This module acts as a bridge between Reeve and existing ERP systems, allowing for seamless integration and data exchange. It ensures that financial data from various sources can be aggregated and processed within the Reeve platform.
Organisation: This module manages the organisational structure and setup data required for the Reeve platform. It allows for the configuration of different entities, departments, and roles within the organisation, ensuring that financial data is accurately attributed and reported.

Reeve Application

The Reeve application is actual implementation of the Reeve Platform. The repository contains detailed instructions and configuration examples of how to run the Reeve application. Through configurations customers can set up the Reeve application to suit their specific needs, including defining organisational structures, configuring accounting rules, and integrating with existing ERP systems. It also comes with a preconfigured Keycloak as an Administration and Identity Management system, which allows for secure user management and access control.

Reeve Frontend

The Reeve frontend is the user interface that allows users to interact with the Reeve platform. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing financial data, generating reports, and accessing blockchain records. The Reeve frontend is currently closed source, since it implements the Needs of the Cardano Foundation.
