Overview
Stampli is an accounts payable automation platform built around collaborative invoice management. Its defining feature is centering all communication, approvals, and documentation directly on the invoice itself, so AP teams, approvers, and vendors discuss and resolve invoices in context rather than over email. The platform is powered by Billy the Bot, an AI assistant that learns each customer's coding and approval patterns to automate data capture, GL coding, and PO matching over time.
Beyond core invoice automation, Stampli offers adjacent products including Stampli Direct Pay for domestic payments, Stampli Card for corporate spend, and vendor management, forming a procure-to-pay suite. It is positioned for mid-market and growing companies that want to keep their existing ERP while layering automation and collaboration on top, and it emphasizes fast implementation and minimal disruption to existing accounting workflows.
Stampli is a private company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Mountain View, California. It connects to a large number of ERP and accounting systems through prebuilt two-way integrations.
