Data Panda brings your Exact Venice data together with the data from the rest of your business. From one place, we turn it into dashboards, automations, AI workflows and custom apps your team uses every day.
Exact Venice is the Belgian accounting, invoicing and customer-management package from Exact. It is developed in Brugge and has been part of Exact since the Unit4 Bedrijfssoftware acquisition in 2020. It is a separate product from Exact Online: Venice is installed locally on a Windows server or workstation, and Exact also hosts an online version. The core modules are Boekhouding, Facturatie, Voorraadbeheer and Contactenbeheer, extended with options such as analytical accounting, fixed assets, consolidation, payments and the annual accounts.
Bookings land in the Belgian journals for purchases, sales, financial and miscellaneous entries, per dossier and per financial year. CODA bank statements are read into the financial journal, and the btw-aangifte, klantenlisting and IC-opgave are prepared for Intervat. On a local installation the data is reachable through ODBC and the Venice SDK; on the hosted version through WebConnect (OData). That is what makes customers, suppliers, invoices, open items and VAT data usable outside Venice for reporting and integrations with other systems.
Revenue, spend, open items and VAT position straight from the Venice dossier, without printing lists.
Let the CRM, the webshop and the accountant work from the same Venice bookings.
Use years of Venice bookings to prepare the next one instead of correcting it afterwards.
Small tools on Venice data for people who should not need a Venice licence.
A list of concrete reports, automations and AI features we have built on Exact Venice data. Pick the one that matches your situation.
Which customers grow in revenue but pay later every year?
Booked turnover per customer from the sales journal, crossed with their average payment lag from open items and CODA. Picks out the customer that has quietly become more important and at the same time more expensive to finance, before you extend their credit again.
Will the next btw-aangifte be a payment or a refund?
VAT position per code and per period on the bookings already in Venice, weeks before the Intervat file is made. You plan the cash for it instead of finding out in the week the return has to be sent.
Where does the margin leak, per analytical code?
Revenue and posted cost from Venice joined per analytical code or cost centre against the budget. Shows the activity where the gross margin sits two points under plan, and the supplier line that explains it.
Open items, VAT position, cash via CODA and analytical margin from Venice, tied together and refreshed without printing lists from the dossier. The accountant keeps the close; finance stops waiting for it to know where the business stands.
Revenue history and open invoices per customer in front of the salesperson before a renewal or a new order. The rep is no longer the last one to hear that the customer is two months past due.
Posted cost per supplier and per analytical code, and stock value per article from Voorraadbeheer, visible without a Venice licence. Operations sees the cost the day the purchase invoice is booked, not weeks later in a PDF.
Invoices made in Teamleader Focus land in the Venice sales journal with the right customer, VAT rate and ledger account, and the customer files in both systems stay aligned. The accountant works from the same document numbers the sales team sent out, and open items in Venice show up next to the deal in Teamleader.
Booked journals, open customer and supplier items and the VAT position from Venice land in Silverfin, so the periodic and year-end working papers reconcile against what is already in the dossier. Accountancy firms running Venice for their clients stop exporting per dossier by hand before every review.
Purchase invoices captured and approved in Clearfacts and booked in the Venice purchase journal end up in one warehouse, with the extracted line items, the approval status and the final booking joined per document. The accountant keeps Venice as the source of truth and the office sees committed spend the day the invoice arrives.
Paid Shopify orders arrive in the Venice sales journal as invoices with the right VAT rate per country, and the payout from the payment provider is matched against them in the financial journal. Webshop revenue and the accounting agree at month-end without a spreadsheet in between.
Customers matched between HubSpot and Venice get booked revenue, open invoices and average payment lag on the company record. Account managers see whether the customer they are about to renew keeps paying two weeks late, before the proposal goes out.
You keep the reporting tool you already have. We connect it to the warehouse where your Exact Venice data lives.

Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.
We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.
We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.
Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.
We build the whole thing, end to end.
Best fit Teams without in-house BI or dev capacity. You tell us what you need and we deliver it.
You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.
Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.
No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.
No. Exact Venice is the Belgian package installed on your own server or hosted by Exact; Exact Online is Exact's cloud product. Venice has an export module to move a dossier to Exact Online, but Exact states there is no link between the two dossiers afterwards. We have a separate Exact Online connector for that product.
Only for how we connect. A local Venice installation exposes its data through ODBC and the Venice SDK; the online version hosted by Exact exposes it through WebConnect (OData). Both end up as the same tables in your warehouse, so tell us which setup you run and we take it from there.
Yes. Venice keeps every company in its own dossier, per financial year. Each dossier lands in its own schema in the warehouse, with shared customer, supplier and chart-of-accounts dimensions on top, so a firm can report per client, per portfolio and at office level without exporting from each dossier by hand.
We review your Exact Venice setup and the systems around it. Together we pick the first thing worth building.
