What is Spendflo?
Spendflo refocuses into an AI-agent-driven procurement platform, shedding its SaaS-management past.
Spendflo just shipped a ground-up redesign: a single left-nav, node-based visual workflow views for each request, high-density tables, consolidated settings, and a renamed vocabulary (Vendors become Suppliers, Agreements become Contracts) — all organized around an 'AI Agents' layer for Document QA, Contract Review and Vendor Due Diligence. Just before it, the company deprecated its usage-based and app-centric features, removing the Apps page, Shadow IT and SaaS-spend reports. Underneath sits steady integration work with Coupa, NetSuite and LinkSquares.
What is TaxDome?
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.

Spendflo

Spendflo refocuses into an AI-agent-driven procurement platform, shedding its SaaS-management past.
◆ Current state
Spendflo just shipped a ground-up redesign: a single left-nav, node-based visual workflow views for each request, high-density tables, consolidated settings, and a renamed vocabulary (Vendors become Suppliers, Agreements become Contracts) — all organized around an 'AI Agents' layer for Document QA, Contract Review and Vendor Due Diligence. Just before it, the company deprecated its usage-based and app-centric features, removing the Apps page, Shadow IT and SaaS-spend reports. Underneath sits steady integration work with Coupa, NetSuite and LinkSquares.
◆ Where it's heading
Spendflo is narrowing into a workflow-first, AI-assisted procurement platform and deliberately exiting the SaaS-management and shadow-IT discovery space it once occupied. The redesign and the deprecation are two sides of the same decision: concentrate the product on orchestrating the procurement lifecycle — intake, approval, vendor evaluation — and let autonomous agents do more of the work inside it. Integration depth with ERP and CLM systems keeps it embedded in finance operations.
◆ Prediction
Expect deeper AI Agent automation across the procurement lifecycle and continued ERP and CLM integration (Coupa, NetSuite, LinkSquares), with the agent layer becoming the product's central pitch.
TaxDome
5.0FINANCE
TaxDome Pipelines now remember your filters, and long task names stop getting cut off.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's 11 November updates fix two daily irritations: Pipelines keep filters such as job assignee across pipelines, page changes and the next day in the same browser, and the name column in Tasks and Jobs can be widened and remembers its width. Earlier in the month came a Tax Summary that handles checks, payment plans and refund tracking, task grouping by assignee and search across Firm Templates.
◆ Where it's heading
After the October push on firm-wide visibility (Work Forecaster, grouping jobs by pipeline), TaxDome is now on smaller workflow fixes that save clicks for staff who live in Jobs, Tasks and Pipelines. The cadence is several small releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More small list and filter fixes are likely, since TaxDome is openly asking users which interface details slow them down. Filters stored only per browser suggest saved filters synced across devices could follow.
