Bench

How it works

Tight's Bench Import UX and API make it easy to seamlessly migrate small businesses from Bench to your accounting platform.

Export the General Ledger from Bench

Tight's Import tool ingests the user's General Ledger exported directly from their Bench account.

Run the import

During the import, Tight intelligently maps the user's old Chart of Accounts to your customized Chart of Accounts. Tight's Import UX makes it simple to make any adjustments to this mapping inline or to add new accounts for use during the import process.

Verify the import

Lastly, Tight's Import UX generates a comparative verification report at the end of the import to prove the success of the migration. The Tight API combines the General Ledger from Bench and that from the Tight API, presenting the user's successful import in their newly migrated account.

Programmatic imports (for large batches of migrations)

When moving an entire user base from Bench onto Tight, it is much more efficient to import your users' data programmatically. You can kick off the import directly from Bench to Tight with a single API request. The Tight API will alert you via a Lifecycle Event Webhook as soon as the import is completed, at which point the Tight API makes the comparative verification reports available via API.
