Candis is the German answer to the Ramp / Stampli / Vic.ai cohort — an AP-automation platform built in Berlin, ERP-agnostic by design, and explicitly wired around DATEV export, SKR03 / SKR04 GL mapping, and the GoBD audit trail requirements that any serious German buyer checks first. The product covers invoice capture, automatic coding, multi-level approval routing, payment execution, and a closing-package export to whichever system the Steuerberater prefers.
Agentic posture at Candis is noticeably ahead of the German cloud-ledger cohort. A majority of captured invoices are auto-coded, duplicate detection and purchase-order matching run without user intervention, and the bank-reconciliation loop is tightly integrated with SEPA. The 2025 e-invoicing receiving mandate plays to Candis's core competence: structured XRechnung and ZUGFeRD 2.x inputs are handled natively, which makes Candis one of the most defensible agentic choices in the German mid-market.
For a German SMB or mid-market company that already has DATEV, Lexware, or Dynamics BC as its book of record and wants agentic AP on top, Candis is the natural buy.
