You stay in front of the client; KIVU does the heavy lifting on AP automation, vendor portal, card controls, and fraud prevention.

From email chaos to controlled, connected spend – in weeks, not months.

If your team is already advising clients on ERP, finance, compliance, or technology, KIVU gives you a new revenue stream and a differentiated value proposition without asking you to build an AP automation practice from scratch.

VARs & ERP Consultants

Extend your ERP projects with packaged AP, T&E, and spend control – KIVU integrates and supports.
  • Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Sage, SAP
  • Other mid-market and enterprise ERPs

IT Firms & Small ERP Vendors

Add a modern AP & spend platform to your stack so you are not competing on infrastructure alone.
  • Co-branded sales support from KIVU
  • Integrations and APIs delivered by KIVU

Accounting, Tax & Audit Firms

Help clients clean up AP, controls, and audit readiness – and create recurring advisory revenue.

  • Audit-ready transaction history and logs

One platform your clients will actually use – and thank you for.

KIVU replaces email, spreadsheets, and manual uploads with a unified platform for AP automation, expense management, card controls, vendor self-service, and fraud prevention. Many ERP systems – whether on-premises or in the cloud – lack these full capabilities out of the box.

AP Automation & Approvals

Invoices captured from email, vendor portal, or uploads and routed through configurable workflows with coding rules, approvals, and audit trails.

  • OCR + rules-based coding
  • Multi-level approvals with escalation
  • Duplicate and fraud-risk checks

Corporate Card & Spend Control

Real-time controls on T&E and card spend so every transaction is tied to policy, a cost centre, and a receipt.

  • Virtual and physical cards with limits
  • Category and merchant-level controls
  • Automatic reconciliation into expense reports

Vendor Self-service Portal

Suppliers submit invoices, see payment status and upload documents without calling AP – reducing noise for your clients’ finance teams.

  • Secure login for vendors
  • Invoice submission & document upload
  • Real-time payment and remittance visibility

ERP Integrations & Reporting

Approved transactions flow automatically into your clients’ ERP or accounting system with the correct coding.

  • Bi-directional sync with leading ERPs
  • AP and spend analytics out-of-the-box
  • Implementation and support handled by KIVU

Simple, low-friction partnership model.

No complex certification to get started. You introduce the opportunity, stay at the table, and KIVU handles the product and delivery. You earn recurring revenue for the life of the customer.

1. Identify a Client

You see a client struggling with manual AP, controls, or audit readiness. You introduce KIVU as your trusted AP & spend automation partner.

2. We Demo & Scope

KIVU runs the demo, defines scope, and designs the integration. You are invited to every meeting to maintain visibility and trust.

3. We Implement, You Collect

KIVU implements, trains users, and provides ongoing support. You receive a recurring share of subscription revenue and optional fees for advisory work.

What the economics can look like for your firm.

These examples are illustrative only, but they show how quickly recurring partner revenue can compound, especially when you have an installed base of ERP or accounting clients.

Why your clients are ready for this now.

Finance leaders are under pressure to do more with less, tighten controls, and prepare for audits. Many ERP systems – on-premises and cloud – still rely on fragmented tools and manual workarounds for AP, spend control, and vendor collaboration. KIVU closes those gaps.
  • Existing ERP systems often lack deep, end-to-end AP automation and spend control.
  • AP, T&E, and card spend are some of the fastest-growing cost and risk areas.
  • Clients expect their advisor to bring modern, integrated solutions – not just advice.
