Pleo cards (virtual or physical) are assigned to employees.

Each transaction is captured in real time and documented with receipts via smartphone.

Data flows directly into SAP Business One, where it’s linked to projects, service orders, or cost centers.

Thanks to the direct interface, all expenses are instantly available for accounting and management.

Benefits for Your Business

Automated receipt capture and verification

Full transparency across budgets, cost centers, and projects
