Candis

FINANCE
Velocity6.3

Candis extends from AP into procurement — purchase requisitions, auto-tax, and a mobile expense app land together.

◆Current state
Candis is shipping aggressively at the procure-to-pay seam for DACH finance teams. The May releases bring purchase requisitions inside Candis with auto-matching against incoming invoices, automatic tax calculation derived from account tax keys, DATEV-style Automatikkonten support, and a Mobile App 2.0 that lets approvers handle expenses from a phone. The credit-card transaction surface is also being tightened — faster table, better automatching against invoices.
◆Where it's heading
Candis is broadening from 'AP automation for DACH SMBs' into a fuller P2P stack: requisition through invoice through expense, with DATEV at the core of the accounting integration. The DATEV-flavored features (Automatikkonten, account-derived tax rates) signal a deliberate optimization for the German accounting workflow rather than a generic European AP tool. Mobile expense approvals plus central user management across multiple Gesellschaften suggest mid-market multi-entity customers are now the target.
◆Prediction
Expect a tighter Bestellanforderungen + budget approval workflow next, with vendor-level controls on top of the new requisitions surface. The DATEV-specific tax automation will likely roll out to all eligible customers within weeks, and at least one more accounting connector (likely an ERP, after Microsoft Business Central and Sage earlier this quarter) should land.

◆Recent moves

  1. 1d ago

    Faster auto-matching between card transactions and invoices

    Faster, more reliable auto-matching between credit-card transactions and invoices — a continued tightening of the card-to-invoice reconciliation loop that sits alongside the procurement work landing in the same week.

  2. 2d ago

    Purchase requisitions launch as a native Candis workflow

    ⚡ SPARK

    Purchase requisitions are now a first-class workflow inside Candis — created, reviewed, and approved in-product, with incoming invoices automatically matched against them. Extends Candis from AP automation upstream into procurement.

    Automatische Steuerberechnung

    Tax rate now derived automatically from the account's tax key during invoice coding, with tax and gross amounts calculated without manual entry. Rolling out gradually. A grind-down of one of the highest-friction steps in DACH AP.

    Unterstützung von Automatikkonten

    Support for Automatikkonten — DATEV-style accounts with built-in tax rates — so selecting one during coding auto-applies the right rate. A DATEV-specific quality-of-life win that complements the broader auto-tax work.

    Auslagen jetzt auch mobil freigeben

    Mobile App 2.0 lets users create, submit, and approve expenses entirely from a phone, with company-specific kilometer and per-diem settings carried into the app. Pulls the expense workflow off the desktop dependency.

    Neuer Freigabe-Flow in der Candis App (Version 1.35)

    Candis App 1.35 ships a new approval flow with better mobile readability and lets users comment on transactions after invoice upload. Continues hardening the mobile approver experience that Mobile App 2.0 builds on.
