Data Panda brings your Lucanet consolidation, planning and reporting 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.
Lucanet was founded in 1999 in Berlin by Rolf-Jürgen Moll and Oliver Schmitz, and has spent its whole life on the same problem: making group finance close, plan and report without the spreadsheet patchwork that usually sits underneath. The platform covers financial consolidation, planning and budgeting, extended planning and analysis, ESG and sustainability reporting, disclosure management, lease accounting and tax reporting including Pillar 2.
Lucanet partnered with Hg in 2022 to back its next phase of growth, and has since added AMANA, ementexx, Causal and firesys to the group. It serves over 5,000 organisations in roughly 50 countries, with a strong base in DACH mid-market groups and a broader European footprint. The platform is cloud-first, built around a CFO-owned data model, and ships with several hundred ETL adapters into the source systems finance pulls from.
Group P&L, intercompany and FX next to the operational data that explains the numbers.
Keep Lucanet in sync with the source ledgers and the systems downstream of finance.
Use Lucanet history for forecasts and anomaly checks the platform itself does not run.
Internal tools on Lucanet output for managers who should not need a Lucanet seat.
A list of concrete reports, automations and AI features we have built on Lucanet data. Pick the one that matches your situation.
Does the group P&L tie back to what the ERPs booked?
Lucanet group result, entity-level Lucanet figures and the source-ERP trial balances on the same view, with the mapping from local accounts to group accounts visible. The reconciliation gap that usually surfaces after audit appears here before close, with the entity, account and amount that drives it.
Where will the next intercompany imbalance come from?
Intercompany receivables and payables tracked per entity pair, with the open delta and the underlying transactions side by side. Mismatches are visible while there is still time to fix them in the source ERP, instead of being booked away in a top-side adjustment.
How accurate has the Lucanet plan been?
Plan from Lucanet against ERP actuals, by entity, business line and account, with the variance trend and the drivers that broke it. Forecast quality is measured against booked numbers, not against the next forecast that quietly replaced the previous one.
Group consolidation, intercompany and budget-versus-actual on the same view as the ERP detail behind them. Top-side adjustments stop being a black box because the local trial balance and the group account map sit next to each other.
Pipeline and closed-won from Salesforce or HubSpot land next to the Lucanet revenue plan per entity and business line. Forecast updates come from real commercial signal instead of waiting for the next planning round to catch up.
Cost-centre owners and entity controllers see budget, actual and commitments without needing a Lucanet login. Local managers run on the same numbers the group close uses, instead of waiting for a PDF after the board meeting.
Trial balances, journal lines and master data from each Exact Online entity flow into Lucanet ready for consolidation, with the local-to-group account mapping applied. Month-end stops being a CSV-and-template handover between the local controller and the group team.
GL balances, dimensions and master data from Business Central land in Lucanet per entity, with the chart-of-accounts mapping kept in one place. Group consolidation runs on the same source data the local books posted, not on a refreshed export from last week.
NetSuite subsidiaries, accounting books and currencies move into Lucanet as entities with the FX rates aligned, and intercompany balances are matched per entity pair. Group close stops re-doing the work NetSuite already did per subsidiary.
Weighted pipeline and closed-won from Salesforce land next to the Lucanet revenue plan per entity and business line, with the gap visible per stage and per rep. Forecast updates use commercial signal instead of waiting for the next planning round.
HubSpot deals, deal stages and revenue forecast push into the same warehouse view as the Lucanet revenue plan, with the variance per business line visible. Marketing-sourced revenue gets credited against the plan it was supposed to support.
Legal entities, GL balances and intercompany journals from Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations land in Lucanet ready for consolidation, with dimensions kept as group reporting structures. Larger groups stop running the same close twice in two different platforms.
Intercompany mismatches, missing trial balances and close-task slippage from Lucanet ping the right entity controller in Slack the moment they happen. Group close stops being a daily status mail nobody reads in time.
You keep the reporting tool you already have. We connect it to the warehouse where your Lucanet data lives.
OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.
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.
We review your Lucanet setup and the systems around it. Together we pick the first thing worth building.
