Pleo is a centralised business spending platform for company teams, combining physical and virtual employee cards with automated expense capture and reimbursements. It aims to eliminate manual expense reports and simplify bookkeeping by syncing spend data directly into accounting software. Pleo is based in Copenhagen and serves companies across Europe.
Finance teams and employees at small-to-mid-sized companies who need to manage day-to-day business spending, from card purchases to travel and reimbursements.
Physical and virtual company cards, automated receipt capture with OCR, expense reimbursements, multi-currency accounts, and direct accounting-software integrations.
Employees pay with a Pleo card or submit an out-of-pocket claim and snap a photo of the receipt; Pleo's OCR extracts the details, routes the claim to the right approver by amount, flags anything out of policy, and exports the reconciled data to the company's accounting system.
