It connects to what you already use. Without changing your accountant.

Larstel talks to your accounting, your accountant, your bank and your files. What connects to what, and how much work it takes, is looked at case by case in the diagnostic: no two accountants work the same way.

What comes in, what goes out and when it last ran.

Every connection with its format and its time. If something did not come in last night, you see it here before your accountant does.

02The data bus

Data comes in once and goes out in the format each one expects.

Data comes in once on the left and goes out on the right in the format each one expects. In between, nobody is retyping anything.

Standard connections are part of the licence. If your system publishes no standard format, the development is quoted separately and you see it in the proposal with hours and price, before we start.

03The migration

The migration: what we take with us and what stays behind.

What comes in on go-live day

Customer master data — with delivery addresses, assigned routes and payment terms.
Product master data — with formats, packaging, families and barcodes.
Price lists and discounts — by customer, by family and the exceptions you keep by hand.
Opening stock — by warehouse, with batch and expiry date if you already track them.
Open balances — unpaid invoices and due dates open on the go-live date.
Suppliers and purchasing — so the first purchase order goes out the same day.

You give us the files as you keep them today — spreadsheets included, with their duplicates and their half-written names. We do the cleaning up and hand it back to you reviewed before go-live, so you are the one who validates what goes in.

What stays behind

We do not import historical delivery notes line by line. They are kept in a file you can still consult, and the live history starts on go-live day. Pushing ten years of dirty lines into the new system does nothing for you: it only makes it dirty too.

3–10 days from the moment we have
your files. We do the work.

The migration is one part of the start-up. The whole project runs from 30 to 90 days, with the start date written into the contract. Your own timeline comes out of the diagnostic.

Formats we speak

We connect by format, not by brand. Which formats yours speak is something we check in the diagnostic.

04In your pocket

And by morning everything is sent.

The connections work at night. When you open your phone you already know what went out, how many payments the bank matched and what is left to review. If something fails, the warning reaches you, not your accountant three months later.

05What you ask us

Before connecting anything, this.

My accounting program is not on your list.

It does not need to be: we connect by format. If your accountant can import an accounting entry file — and every one of them can — we leave it there with their chart of accounts and their columns. If their program also takes a particular format, we generate it.

Is there an API or webhooks for our own systems?

That is one of the things the diagnostic looks at: what has to talk to what, in which direction and in which format. Whatever comes out of it goes into the proposal, with its scope and its timeline.

Is the connector charged separately?

No. Standard connections are included. What is quoted separately is custom development against a system of yours that publishes no standard format, and then you see it in the proposal with hours and price, before we start.

What if my accountant changes program?

You change the output format and that is it: the data is the same. There is no reinstalling and no migrating again. It has happened, and it gets sorted out in a day of support.

Tell us which program your accountant keeps the books in and we will tell you how it connects.

Thirty minutes. You leave with the list of your connections, the format of each one and who does what in the migration.
