Yokoy compounds expense automation through zero-touch mobile, smarter tax calc, and rules-driven invoice handling.
Yokoy is in steady iteration mode on its core expense and invoice products. The recent run leans heavily into reducing manual touch on expense capture — mobile zero-touch flow, optimized receipt preview, automatic VAT calculation on mileage — and automating downstream paperwork via regex rules for supplier coding and CSV imports.
Kolleno is stretching from collections software toward the whole cash cycle.
Kolleno ships a bundled monthly update for finance and accounts-receivable teams. Since the June rebuild of its AI Task Manager, most releases have refined that hub, while the newest update adds automated payment matching, AP portal tracking and early-access cash flow forecasting.
Yokoy is in steady iteration mode on its core expense and invoice products. The recent run leans heavily into reducing manual touch on expense capture — mobile zero-touch flow, optimized receipt preview, automatic VAT calculation on mileage — and automating downstream paperwork via regex rules for supplier coding and CSV imports.
The team is incrementally collapsing the manual steps in the expense lifecycle: snap a receipt, auto-extract, auto-tax, auto-export, auto-route. Invoice work is moving in parallel toward more rule-based assignment and access control. Nothing in this window suggests a category change — it's a methodical, automation-first roadmap focused on chipping away at submitter friction and finance-team config overhead.
Expect the next visible step to be closer integration between the mobile capture flow and the auto-export rules — likely a path where a submitted receipt reaches a finance system with no human review for low-risk policies. Continued small wins on per-country tax rules and invoice automation are likely.
Kolleno ships a bundled monthly update for finance and accounts-receivable teams. Since the June rebuild of its AI Task Manager, most releases have refined that hub, while the newest update adds automated payment matching, AP portal tracking and early-access cash flow forecasting.
The product is moving outward from chasing invoices into reconciliation and forecasting, the adjacent jobs a finance team does with the same data. The Task Manager remains the operational center, with each release adding controls, notifications and e-signature forms around it.
Cash flow forecasting is in early access, so the next updates will likely broaden it toward general availability and connect it to the payment-matching data shipped alongside it.
