Book a meeting (30 min) Show us where the manual work lives A 30-minute call about your workflows, your systems and where Lark can help first. ### 2. Connect Connect your ERP, email and documents Lark connects to your ERP, email, documents, shared drives, accounting and CRM. We handle the setup with your team. ### 3. Pilot Agents work alongside your team During the pilot we map your data, items, vendors and rules with your team and set up the first workflows. Lark builds the demand analysis from your history. - Items, vendors and rules mapped - First workflow approved, with its limits - Demand analysis built from your history - Agents working alongside your buyers ### 4. Expand Turn on more agents and workflows When the pilot works the way you want, turn on the next agent or workflow. Each one runs inside the limits you approve. 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. ## Control and security - Approve a workflow once and set its limits Lark then runs it on its own, inside those limits. Anything outside them waits for your team. - Every read and action is logged Your team can open the log and see what Lark read or did, in which system, and when. - Pause or take over at any time Stop a workflow, or take any item back and finish it yourself. For example, in the Replenishment POs workflow: POs under $5,000 for approved vendors go through on their own; bigger ones wait for a buyer. Your data: - A vault for your company: Credentials sit in a vault just for your company and never reach an AI model. - Kept separate: Your data is kept separate from every other customer's. - Never used for training: Your data is used to run your agents, and never to train models. - Google Cloud, US: Lark is hosted on Google Cloud in the US. - Encrypted: Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. - Logged: Every read and action is logged, and your team can see the log. The security pack (request it from security@larkagents.com) includes: - How Lark connects, as a diagram - The security page as a PDF - The subprocessor list - Answers to your security questionnaire - How to revoke access ## Frequently asked questions ### Getting started **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. **What happens during the pilot?** We map your data, items, vendors and rules with your team, and set up the first workflows together. Lark learns from your history to build the demand analysis. Then the agents run alongside your team, inside the limits you set. When the pilot is working as expected, you can turn on more agents and workflows. **Which agents are available?** Available agents include Purchasing, Demand forecasting, Inventory monitoring, Sales operations and Data analysis. You can start with one and turn on more as you go. We can also build customized agents for your workflows. Book a meeting with us to discuss what you need. ### Your systems **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. **Which ERPs and systems does Lark connect to?** Lark can connect to nearly any ERP system. Examples include Epicor Prophet 21 and Eclipse, Infor CSD, Oracle NetSuite, Acumatica, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage 100/300, Spire and DDI System Inform. This is not a complete list. It also works with Outlook and Gmail, PDF and Excel files, Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive and Dropbox, QuickBooks and HubSpot. Book a meeting with us to confirm support for your ERP and discuss your setup. ### Control and data **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. **Can we see everything Lark did?** Yes. Every read and every action is logged, and your team can open the log to see what Lark read or did, in which system, and when. ## Pages - [Home](https://larkagents.com/): Lark connects to your existing systems and deploys agents for purchasing, forecasting, inventory management, sales, and data analytics. - [How it works](https://larkagents.com/how-it-works): Book a 30-minute meeting, connect your ERP, email and documents, run a pilot where Lark learns your history, then turn on more agents and workflows. - [Security](https://larkagents.com/security): Lark works inside workflows you approve and limits you set.
