04 How it works 4 steps
From first meeting to agents at work.
Four steps. We handle the setup, and your team stays in control.
-
Step 1: Book a meeting30 min
A 30-minute call about your workflows, your systems and where Lark can help first.
-
Step 2: Connect
Lark connects to your ERP, email, documents, shared drives, accounting and CRM. We handle the setup with your team.
-
Step 3: Pilot
We map your data, items, vendors and rules during the pilot and set up the first workflows. Then the agents work alongside your team.
-
Step 4: Expand
When the pilot works the way you want, turn on the next agent or workflow.
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.
Book a meeting05 FAQ
Questions, answered.
The short version. Everything else is on the FAQ page.
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.
How much does Lark cost?
Pricing is custom because the workflow, systems, and scope differ by client. Book a meeting and we can review your operation and provide a proposal.
