From hours to minutes: Process invoices 5x faster with Pleo Accounts Payable

Finance teams don’t just want faster invoice processing. They want visibility before an invoice arrives, control over what’s approved, and confidence that spend is being managed properly, without layering in more tools or admin.

That’s why Pleo Invoices has evolved into something broader, faster, and better structured.

We’re introducing Pleo Accounts Payable, an upgraded invoicing experience for lean finance teams that need speed, not complexity, complete with review management, purchase orders, and a structured way to handle incoming invoices from capture to export. It’s everything Pleo Invoices was, but now with a broader scope and tighter control.

Built for faster, smarter invoice management

Pleo Accounts Payable is your new end-to-end AP workflow in one tool. Here’s everything you already love about Invoices, plus everything that’s new:

• Structured approvals

Avoid bottlenecks and time-consuming chases. Set up multi-step review flows based on team, amount, or custom tags such as vendor, project, cost center, and more. Invoices are auto-routed, reviewed, and approved without the side conversations.

• Purchase orders

Bring consistency to spend before invoices even appear. Raise, match, and track POs inside Pleo, so you know exactly what was ordered and what’s been billed.

• Real-time visibility at every step

Know what’s received, approved, and paid — all in one place. No more flipping between inboxes, bank portals, and spreadsheets just to get a clear view of cash flow.

• Flexible payment options

Use your existing bank or pay directly via Pleo. Schedule single or bulk transfers, locally or across borders, in over 50 currencies.

• Overdraft support

If cash flow’s tight, Pleo Overdraft can cover short-term gaps — interest-free if repaid within the same month. To be eligible, though, certain conditions must be met. You can read more about it here.

• Compliant and easy to integrate

Whether you pay from your bank or via Pleo, the workflow stays consistent. It syncs with your existing process, integrates seamlessly with DATEV, Netsuite, SAP Business One, and Business Central, and doesn’t require a single change to get started. Doesn’t get easier than that!

A better way for lean finance teams in Germany

Not every business needs the full AP stack, but that doesn’t mean they should be stuck with inbox chaos and spreadsheet approvals.

That’s why we’re also introducing a new processing-only version of Pleo Accounts Payable, designed specifically for lean finance teams in Germany. 

Here’s what you get:

• OCR-powered invoice capture
• Built-in approvals
• Audit-ready records
• DATEV exports
• Flexible payments

You can continue using your existing bank. Pleo will take care of the rest to help you stay compliant without slowing down.

A smarter way to handle AP

Pleo Accounts Payable marks more than a product update. It reflects a broader shift in how lean finance teams want to work—with speed, oversight, and systems that scale.

We’ve expanded our capabilities because fragmented tools and reactive processes no longer cut it. What finance teams need now is end-to-end clarity: from request to payment, all in one place and with admin work taken off their plate.

This is the future of AP, and it’s already live in Pleo. Learn more here or book a demo tailored to the way you work.
