Five types of invoices Candis handles for you.

Minor-value invoices – coming Q3

Candis automatically approves invoices totaling up to 250 euros upon receipt, in accordance with §33 UStDV—for example, for office supplies, postage, or small consumables.

Purchase requisitions – coming Q3

Candis compares the invoice with the previously approved purchase requisition. If the supplier, amount, and line items match, the invoice is automatically approved.

Goods invoices – coming Q4

For invoices for delivered goods, Candis checks whether the purchase order, goods receipt and invoice match. If they do, the invoice is automatically approved.

Recurring invoices – coming Q3

Recurring invoices from the same supplier are automatically approved if they are processed identically each time – such as rent, software licenses or maintenance contracts.

Invoices with clear allocation – coming Q3

If the general ledger account, cost center and approval workflow are already known from previous postings, Candis prepares the invoice accordingly and automatically requests approval.

Automate accounting

These features lay the foundation

  • Faded thermal receipts or invoices in a foreign language? Whatever comes in gets captured. Candis reads invoice data automatically – completely, with no manual entry.

    • More precise: Up to 11% more accurate than classic OCR

    • Intelligent: Recognizes mixed VAT rates (0%, 7%, 19%)

    • Multilingual: Recognizes Greek, Japanese, and Cyrillic

  • Candis automatically checks every incoming invoice for completeness under §14 UStG. If mandatory details are missing or incorrect, the invoice is flagged immediately – instead of entering the automated process, it stays with accounting for manual review.

    • Legally compliant: Checked against §14 UStG and §33 UStDV

    • Comprehensive: Detects missing details such as VAT ID, service period, or address

    • Proactive: Incomplete documents are flagged before they enter the process

  • Candis recognizes known patterns and handles pre-assignment automatically – completely, consistently, and based on your own posting history. Anything recurring doesn't need to be decided again each time.

    • Complete: G/L account, cost center, tax code, and approver filled in automatically

    • Consistent: Always creates posting texts in the same format

    • Intelligent: Our AI keeps learning with every use

  • Candis checks every incoming IBAN in the background against an external risk database. Anomalies are flagged immediately – on the document and the contact – so nothing slips through unnoticed.

    • Automatic: Runs in the background for every incoming invoice

    • Visible: Risk flags appear directly on the document and the contact

    • Comprehensive: Every IBAN is checked – no exceptions

FAQs

  • Yes. Candis automates only those processes that are unambiguous and based on previously verified entries. Anything that deviates from this is automatically forwarded for manual review. Every step can be traced through the procedural documentation and the Internal Control System (ICS).

  • Unlike generative AI, Candis does not rely on probabilities or general knowledge. It automates only those decisions that your accounting department has already made the same way multiple times.

  • No. A tax audit evaluates systems and processes – specifically, whether there is clear documentation of what happens, when, and according to which rules. This traceability is ensured through procedural documentation, regardless of whether a transaction is processed manually or automatically. Since Candis AI operates exclusively on the basis of manually reviewed transactions, every step is uniformly structured and fully documented.

  • Candis doesn't make its own decisions. It only automates what your accounting department has already approved in advance. You set the rules, Candis applies them consistently.

  • Yes. Candis doesn't rely on general standards, but rather on your previous entries. Recurring decisions regarding general ledger accounts, cost centers or workflows can be applied automatically.
