Stampli
AI-powered accounts payable automation centered on the invoice
About Stampli
Stampli takes an invoice-centric approach to AP automation, building all communication, approvals, and processing around the invoice itself rather than requiring users to navigate separate modules. The platform's AI assistant, Billy the Bot, learns from your team's coding decisions and automatically suggests GL codes, cost centers, and approval routing with increasing accuracy over time. Stampli integrates with 70+ ERPs and accounting systems without requiring changes to existing processes — a key differentiator from competitors that force workflow redesigns during implementation. The platform handles invoice capture, approval routing, payment processing, and vendor management with a focus on maintaining a complete audit trail. For accounting teams, Stampli's Advanced Spend Management module provides real-time spend analytics and budget tracking.
