How does Circula work? 

Circula offers AI-powered automation with both an intuitive mobile app and web application. Employees capture receipts on their phone and the AI extracts all relevant data, automatically validates it against local VAT requirements, detects duplicates, and pre-assigns cost centers automatically. Per diems calculate themselves, the three-month rule enforces itself, and approval workflows route expenses without the need for manual intervention. With direct interfaces to DATEV accounting and payroll solutions as well as other ERP and accounting systems, the entire process is digitized end-to-end. The result: 54% of all expenses are ready for export the moment they are submitted, with no manual accounting work required.
