Candis is a German accounts payable automation platform that helps businesses digitize and automate their invoice processing workflows.
What is Candis?
Candis is a German accounts payable automation platform founded in 2017, targeting medium to large enterprises with complex invoice processing needs. The platform focuses heavily on approval workflows, multi-level authorization, and integration with ERP systems. Candis positions itself as an enterprise solution with starting prices of €369/month, making it one of the most expensive options in the market.
Candis's enterprise focus means it's overkill and overpriced for small to medium businesses. The platform requires extensive setup and IT involvement, lacks bank reconciliation features, and is only available in German. GetInvoice provides a more accessible solution with simple setup, comprehensive bank matching, and affordable pricing that scales with your business needs.
