The Pleo Digest – September 2021

Invoice management is one of the trickiest processes for a business...and here at Pleo, making your job easier is what we’re all about. 

That’s why we launched Pleo Bills earlier this year, so you and your team have more time to focus on the work that really matters.

Pleo Bills, six months on 🎉

Bills is our invoice management system – one space to track, pay and account for every invoice your team receives. And it’s already been making serious waves.

There have been 5,000+ bills paid and 4m GBP spent by companies using Bills. Not to mention, 600 duplicate bills detected and double payments prevented.  

It takes Pleo one step closer to becoming the all-in-one spending solution you and your team need – and deserve. 

We’re continuously bulking up the feature – the latest update? External bookkeepers can now manage Bills just the same as an admin, and soon will be able to pay invoices on behalf of clients. 

And to all the Pleo Admins out there, you can easily get started with Bills today, just log into Pleo on your desktop.

It also happens to be the ninth month of the year – no other month has the same number of letters as its number in the calendar year.

Neat stuff.
