Stampli review
Bottom line
Stampli is a procure-to-pay layer that sits on top of an existing ERP, handling invoice capture, coding, matching, approvals, vendor self-service, and payments in one workspace. Its clearest strength is ERP-aligned validation, which checks coding and posting rules before invoices reach the ledger. The main cost to watch is that pricing is available only by quote and no free plan or trial exists, so budget has to be sized before evaluation. It suits AP and finance teams at mid-size and larger companies that already run a supported accounting system and want approvals and coding handled in one place.
What is Stampli?
Stampli is a procure-to-pay platform for finance teams that run accounts payable and purchasing alongside an existing accounting system. It brings purchase requests, invoices, vendor records, payments, and employee expenses into one web-based workspace, addressing the gap between how invoices arrive (email, PDFs, paper) and how an ERP needs them coded and approved.
Invoices enter through email, upload, or the vendor portal. Billy, the platform's AI layer, captures and codes each line, identifies vendors, predicts approvers, and flags duplicates, while AP reviews exceptions. Invoices are matched to purchase orders and receipts at the line level, and questions, documents, comments, and approvals stay attached to the invoice instead of moving through email threads. Approval routing can follow entity, amount, department, vendor, or custom rules, with reminders and mobile approvals keeping decisions moving.
The platform is built for AP teams, controllers, CFOs, and approvers, and the vendor lists typical customers as small, mid-size, and enterprise businesses. Industries named on the site include automotive, construction, health care, manufacturing, and transportation and logistics. Pricing is not published; buyers request a quote, and the pricing is organized around separate components including Accounts Payable, Procurement, Direct Pay, Stampli Credit Card, and Advanced Vendor Management. No free plan or free trial is offered.
The distinguishing design choice is ERP alignment. Stampli mirrors the entities, dimensions, accounts, and validation rules of the ERP inside the workflow, checks required fields and posting conditions before anything is sent, and then returns approved transactions so the ERP stays the system of record. The integration list covers more than 70 cloud and on-premises ERPs, including QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, SAP S/4HANA, and Dynamics 365. The emphasis is on catching coding and posting problems before they reach the books rather than correcting them at close.
