Kleri used to have payments and bank connections set up per company and per bank, with manual matching and reconciliation. With Aritma, incoming and outgoing payments flow back to Business Central automatically, and the month can be closed faster.
Don't underestimate the value of automatic bank feedback. That's where we've noticed the biggest difference in our day-to-day work.

Automatic bank feedback, simpler bank reconciliation and a faster month-end close with better control.
Kleri is an IT group with offices across Norway and Sweden and more than 11,000 customers. The group grows partly through acquisitions, and finance for the Swedish companies runs on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central – with multiple companies, banks and currencies.
Before Aritma, there was no unified bank integration. Payments and bank connections were set up per company and per bank, which meant manual file handling between Business Central and the banks, separate approval flows and a lot of manual work to check that everything had gone through. As Stefan Haern, Finance Director at Kleri, puts it:
– The most time-consuming part wasn't the payment itself, but everything afterwards: getting incoming and outgoing payments back into the books, matching them manually and reconciling the bank accounts in every company and currency.
With multiple companies in the group and a growth strategy built on acquisitions, it was clear that this way of working would not scale.
Kleri needed one unified flow for payments and reconciliation across the whole group – for every company, bank and currency – instead of a separate solution per company. The choice fell on Aritma:
– We chose Aritma because the solution is built for Business Central and for groups with multiple companies, banks and currencies, so we get one unified flow instead of one solution per company.
With Aritma Finance Manager, Kleri got a bank integration directly in Business Central for all its companies. Payments are handled in the ERP with payment automation from Aritma Payments, and incoming and outgoing payments flow back automatically from the bank for matching and bank reconciliation. Kleri went live in February 2026.
The biggest change since go-live is the automatic bank feedback.
– Both incoming and outgoing payments now come back from the bank directly into Business Central, without anyone having to download files or match transactions by hand. Customer payments are matched against open invoices, and supplier payments are posted once the bank has confirmed them.
That has made bank reconciliation considerably simpler:
– What used to be a recurring task of manual matching and hunting for differences is today essentially a check of what is already reconciled. We also always have an up-to-date status: if a payment is rejected, we see it immediately and can fix it the same day.
As Haern sums it up:
– All in all, it means we can close the month faster and with better control.
For companies in a similar situation, Haern has clear advice:
– If you have multiple companies in Business Central, pay in multiple currencies or plan to grow through acquisitions, look at how much time actually goes into payments and reconciliation today. It's usually more than you think.
He also stresses the importance of preparation:
– My advice is to use the implementation to clean up master data such as supplier bank accounts and payment terms, and to think through your approval flows before you go live. Then you get the effect straight away.
