Striven AP and expense capabilities at a glance

Capability	In Striven?	What the documentation shows
Bank feeds	Yes	Online Banking connects bank, credit card and credit union accounts through Yodlee.
Credit card feeds	Yes	Credit card accounts connect through the same Yodlee Online Banking feed, and outgoing transactions post as Credit Card Charges linked to the card's GL account.
AP automation (invoice capture and processing)	Partly	Bills are entered in Accounts Payable with vendor, GL account, class and attachments. However, no invoice OCR or AP email inbox is documented.
Receipt capture and mobile expenses	Partly	Employees can scan receipts and attach them to expense reimbursement requests through the employee self-service portal. However, no receipt OCR or dedicated mobile expense app is documented.
Expense claim approvals	Yes	Employee Expenses: employees submit expenses (single or multiple) from their profile using configured Expense Types.
Approval workflows (invoices, POs, payments)	Partly	Approvals are built into specific modules: PO approval by per-employee 'Approve up to' dollar limits (a reviewer is picked when a PO is over the limit, with configurable notifications), the Expenses Queue, and the Review Bills Queue for vendor-portal bills. However, the general Workflows feature only sends emails and texts and creates tasks, so it cannot route approvals.

Where Vergo fits with Striven

Vergo integrates with Striven and posts coded card spend into it; for Striven, the live integration covers expense management. It works with any card from any bank — connecting your existing cards involves no card applications, no re-issuing and no banking change. Employees send receipts by text or from their phone, and Vergo chases missing receipts itself instead of waiting for a report. Vergo proposes the coding by inference from your own accounting structure and history — no rule library to build, no keyword lists to maintain, and new vendors are coded on first sight. The proposal covers the GL account and class, and every coding shows why it was chosen, so a reviewer confirms in seconds instead of re-coding by hand. Approval workflows are optional and fit how you already control spend: route by GL account or by amount — or skip approval flows entirely and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule.

About Striven

Typical users: Small and mid-size service, distribution and project-based businesses wanting accounting, CRM, projects, inventory and HR in one cloud ERP. Deployment: cloud.
