How long does it take to set up?
Most setups take around one to two months. Timing varies based on the workflow, the systems that need to be connected, and the actions the agent will take.
Does Lark replace our ERP?
No. Lark connects on top of your ERP and other existing tools. It works with the systems your team already relies on rather than asking you to replace them.
Can Lark change data in our ERP?
Yes, but only through workflows you approve. You approve a workflow once and set its limits; Lark then runs it on its own and logs every action.
For example, POs under $5,000 for approved vendors go through on their own; bigger ones wait for a buyer. You can pause or take over at any time.
How does Lark protect our data?
Your company's data, rules and workflows are kept separate from every other customer's. They are used only to run your agents and are never used to train models.
Credentials sit in a vault just for your company and never reach an AI model. Every read and action is logged, and your team can see the log. Lark is hosted on Google Cloud in the US, and your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Let Lark automate your workflows
Show us where the manual work lives. We’ll map the data, decisions, and controls, then show you how Lark can take it on.
