Invoice processing takes too much time
A bookkeeper working by hand gets no further than about 90 invoices an hour, however hard they work. Lyanthe automates that to 250+ invoices an hour, with peaks of up to 1,000.
Lyanthe takes the daily flow of invoices off your hands: from digitising to posting in Exact, Twinfield, AFAS or AccountView. One dashboard keeps you in the picture, so you can step in where it matters.
The choice of accountancy in the Netherlands and Belgium

Bottlenecks
Manual work costs time, good staff are scarce, and no two sets of books are the same. The result: pre-accounting that runs slowly, is error-prone and does not grow with your firm. That is where Lyanthe steps in.
A bookkeeper working by hand gets no further than about 90 invoices an hour, however hard they work. Lyanthe automates that to 250+ invoices an hour, with peaks of up to 1,000.
The market for accountancy staff is tight, and repetitive work only makes vacancies harder to fill. Automate the processing, and you need to recruit less for work nobody is waiting to do.
Different charts of accounts, RGS that has not been rolled out everywhere, clients spread across several accounting packages: for most software that variety is a blocker. Lyanthe resolves it and enforces standardisation where needed, so automation works, regardless of how the books are organised.
Manual work is error-prone, and correcting a mistake often takes longer than the original entry. AI combined with human verification delivers structurally higher accuracy.
Without insight you cannot tell which clients need attention, where to step in, or where there is still ground to gain. Lyanthe makes that visible at every level, so you steer on data rather than on instinct.
More clients usually means more people, not more margin. If the team is stuck in daily processing, there is no room left for advisory work or new clients. With posting rules managed centrally and applied automatically across every set of books, the workload does not grow with the client count, and capacity frees up for the work that actually matters.
How it works
Three steps, one workflow: from the invoice arriving to insight into your own process.
Invoices arrive through any channel and are split, recognised and digitised automatically. Retyping is a thing of the past.
You set the rules, Lyanthe applies them. Entries are posted automatically according to settings you manage yourself: centrally, per sector or per client.
The dashboard shows where the process could be faster and where it is already running well, per office, per client and per period.
What sets us apart
Our scanning pipeline turns invoices into usable, dependable data: batches are split, line items recognised and the right additional invoice detail attached. How that works is our trade. All that counts for you is the result; digitisation you can build on, so you automate instead of correcting afterwards.
Once digitised, Lyanthe posts invoices automatically, scaling to thousands a day. One posting rule you set for a supplier applies straight away across every set of books, whatever the chart of accounts or accounting package.
The Lyanthe dashboard shows exactly where your process and your books stand: where to step in, which clients need attention and where time is being lost. In efficiency and in quality. So you keep adjusting as you go, instead of concluding afterwards that it could have gone better.
Lyanthe grew out of the practice of keeping books and running an accounting firm. That knowledge sits in every part of the platform, including sector-specific logic for agriculture, construction and healthcare among others. We know what you are dealing with on the floor, we think along, and we build for how firms really work.

Lyanthe processes purchase and sales invoices from start to finish, in three steps. We digitise every invoice completely and correctly. We automate the posting with central rules that apply to all your sets of books. And we give you insight to keep improving the process. The result: more than 90% of invoices are posted automatically in your accounting software.
Lyanthe is built for accounting and bookkeeping firms that want to automate their pre-accounting. We offer three propositions. Easy is for smaller firms where each employee handles a fixed set of clients. Free is for firms that want to decide per set of books how far central automation goes. Control is for larger firms with many or diverse sets of books that want to manage everything centrally. You can of course switch between propositions at any time.
Scan-and-recognise usually stops at the basic data at VAT level. Lyanthe also digitises at line level, at summary level or with specific instructions, for example for cost centres, cost units or project and contract numbers. On top of that, Lyanthe posts automatically and shows you where there is still efficiency to gain. So instead of a separate recognition tool, you get one complete invoice processing line.
Through every channel your clients use: by email with dedicated addresses per set of books, through the Lyanthe Invoice App, through the Lyanthe Portal, via Peppol (Lyanthe is a Peppol Access Point itself), via JoinData for the agricultural sector and through an API integration. Lyanthe processes PDF, UBL/XML, Word, Excel, images and even invoices in the body of an email.
We guarantee more than 99.5% complete and correct invoice data. We achieve this by combining technology, proprietary logic built up over many years and human verification. As long as technology cannot guarantee 100%, we will keep offering human validation as an option to our clients, so only correct data flows into your books.
You set up a posting rule once and it applies straight away to all sets of books. The rules work in a fixed order: firm, then sector, then set of books. A general rule applies everywhere, and you can make exceptions per sector or client. That way every posting stays explainable and auditable.
Yes, that is exactly what Lyanthe is built for. The Lyanthe Matching Service automatically translates a central rule to the right general ledger account within each set of books. It does not matter which chart of accounts is used or whether RGS has already been implemented.
Lyanthe has standard integrations with Exact Online, Twinfield, AFAS, Yuki, King, Odoo, Adsolut, AccountView, SnelStart and Expert/M. Master data such as contacts, general ledger accounts and VAT codes is synchronised automatically. Where the software supports it, you can click straight through from your accounting software to the original invoice.
Yes. Lyanthe is a Peppol Access Point. Once a set of books has been onboarded, Peppol messages are retrieved and processed automatically, with no extra software or manual work. That way your firm is prepared for mandatory e-invoicing.
Yes. An employee processing invoices manually rarely handles more than around 90 invoices per hour. By automating repetitive work, the same team can process many times more invoices. That lets your firm grow without having to recruit hard-to-find accounting staff, and gives your people more time for advisory work.
