Data Exchange
Flexible, secure data ingestion and integration built directly in your existing data ecosystem_
Designed for teams who need reliable data flows across multiple sources and systems.
Consolidate data from multiple sources without friction
Fund, deal, accounting and investor data often live in multiple systems, spreadsheets, or external platforms. The qashqade Data Exchange Module streamlines data intake, allowing you to ingest, validate, and reconcile information consistently. Whether through file uploads, sFTP, Snowflake or APIs qashqade has you covered. You gain confidence that every dataset is accurately loaded and outputs exported.
In private markets, data integrity builds confidence
Every allocation and partner record matters. With controlled ingestion and validation, your team can ensure data is complete and ready for calculations. Centralizing data in one system ensures consistency across periods and maintains a single source of truth for internal and external stakeholders.
Maintain control across every dataset
The module supports all key entities: vehicles, vehicle groups, partners, transactions, and carry allocation. Each upload or integration can be scoped precisely, with options to replace, increment, or partially update existing records. RefIDs and unique attributes guarantee that each record is tracked, preventing duplication.
Configure ingestion to meet your exact requirements
Customizable upload parameters allow you to map headers, specify load methods (Replace, Incremental, Partial Replace) per dataset, apply sign changes and date format adjustments. Additionally, you are able to control processing rules for new elements (e.g. new fields). This ensures that every dataset is aligned with your structure, internal workflows, and integration standards.
Connect with other systems
The Data Exchange Module provides multiple integration options. API connections allow for a two-way data exchange with fund accounting and portfolio management systems. Further options are sFTP or Snowflake ingestion to schedule uploads and downloads, and manual file upload for quick, intuitive import of Excel or CSV files. You can trigger updates for specific datasets or vehicles via the Planner, ensuring calculations always use the most up-to-date information.
How Data Exchange Works at qashqade
Data ingestion and integration are configured directly in the platform. From that point forward, uploads, mappings, and reconciliations can be executed consistently and securely.
Select the Data Source
Choose between manual file upload, sFTP, Snowflake or API connection. Specify the type of data being ingested (transaction, partner, vehicle, carry allocation, etc.).
Configure Parameters
Map headers via the mapping functionality and configure how new fields and values should be handled. Choose load method for transactions (Replace, Incremental, Partial Replace) and define RefID behavior to control record replacement or addition. Apply sign adjustments, or date formats as needed.
Upload, Validate, and Stage Data
Files are uploaded to a staging area where automated validation checks are applied. Errors or missing entries for mandatory fields are highlighted and can be corrected immediately.
Integrate with Accounting Systems such as Entrilia
With the Entrilia connector, accounting data flows directly into qashqade’s waterfall modelling. This creates a seamless process between accounting and carry modelling: as financial data updates in Entrilia, qashqade reflects those changes in its carry calculations. The result is a fully connected, real-time view of economic entitlements without additional manual steps.
By using an API you can also integrate with other accounting systems apart from Entrilia.

By pairing our technical expertise in LPA validation and carry modelling with qashqade’s collaborative advisory team, we’ve created a synergy that delivers deeper insights and shared learning, strengthens carry analysis and fund accounting practices, and achieves faster resolution of complex carry scenarios – far beyond what standalone technology can achieve. qashqade doesn’t just provide technology, they provide tailored support and work closely with their clients to drive better outcomes.
Jørgen Axelsen
This is about trust at the end of the day. That’s what our clients are really paying for – knowing that everything’s being handled properly, with full transparency. qashqade helps us deliver the best solutions to fund managers’ most complex challenges, which is our core mission.
Erik Kindblom
After a careful selection process, qashqade became the natural choice for us, not just for the technology but also their deep understanding and expertise of our challenges and how to address them.

We're here to answer your questions.
We have APIs built out with some leading fund accounting softwares. We also have our own API built out that you can see for your data interchange. We work with some clients who use Investran and we have been able to connect APIs with their systems. We have integrations for Entrilia, Snowflake, Microsoft, Octa and have at length worked with FIS, Yardi, Allvue and Efront on individual instances.
We support file transfers via SFTP, which is typically the easiest way for clients to send data to our team. Each client is provided with an SFTP location where cash flow data can be securely dropped, and our software automatically consumes that data. Excel files work as well and are easily consumable by the qashqade software.
Using our planning module, the client can configure how frequently new transactions are ingested and how often the waterfall is run. While the data does need to be placed in the SFTP, everything downstream is fully automated, and results are delivered without manual intervention.
There are no limitations on any those categories being read, created, or updated during integration.
Our software has a prebuilt connection with Entrilia. Data can flow into our software and show results on the Entrilia side. We have our own API that is built to share data back and forth as well.
Integrations are built in house. Our product team makes sure all integrations from a data and process perspective are built into the client's environment and our technical team focuses on connecting our platform to different software or platforms in the client's environment. All of our clients have different ecosystems where qashqade fits in. We are well versed in integrations and work with our clients to meet their exact needs.
We have our own API which can be leveraged to import data automatically from other systems. In addition, we also provide data upload via SFTP where the data is matched on our end. This is a semi-automated process and can be streamlined via our 'Planner' functionality.
Our platform supports comprehensive data reconciliation through flexible integration options and robust data-consistency controls. We can ingest data directly or indirectly from source systems and also push processed data back to those systems. Supported loading methods include ITD full-replace, full incremental updates, and mixed or partial replace/incremental strategies tailored to the client’s data flows. To ensure data integrity, each record can be assigned a unique attribute reference ID, which prevents duplication, guarantees that all transactions are captured, and allows precise tracking of data lineage across systems. For reconciliation, clients can generate custom reports focused on key attributes and corner-case values, enabling comparison between the source system and our platform to validate completeness and accuracy.
