Public Sector Value Props

See every dollar in real time

Real-time visibility across funds, departments, grants, and cost centers — not weeks after reconciliation. No more chasing down what was spent.

Prevent non-compliant spend

Spend limits, merchant restrictions, and approval rules are automatically enforced at the point of transaction. Noncompliant spend is declined before it happens.

Stay audit-ready

Receipts, memos, codes, and approvals are automatically captured with full audit trails and natural-language reporting. Audit prep goes from days to hours.

Built for public sector compliance

US-only data residency, role-based controls, and infrastructure designed to meet FedRAMP standards. Enforces per diem limits, small-business quotas, and vendor spend caps.

One consolidated platform

Replace fragmented P-cards, manual expense reports, and paper AP — cards, expenses, and bill pay in a single system. No more reconciling across siloed tools.

Fast to deploy

Phased rollout by department, aligned to your fiscal calendar. A dedicated U.S.-based public sector team manages configuration and onboarding from day one.
