“Can an AP automation vendor become the autonomous AI-agent layer for European finance departments?”
Founded in 1996 in Oslo as an invoice-management vendor for Norwegian enterprises, Compello built a cloud P2P / AP automation suite over two decades. In 2020 it was acquired by Visma and absorbed into the Visma group's security, compliance and shared-services infrastructure (VASP program, Visma Trust Center), while keeping its own brand. The 2026 push into AI agents (Compello Agents) is the current strategic bet — moving from rules-based invoice capture to autonomous agent-driven AP processing with a stated 80% automation guarantee.
Compello integrates with Visma Business, Visma Global, Visma.net, Visma Administrasjon, Business NXT, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, Infor M3 Cloud, Unit4 ERP and 11 others.
Compello is founded in 1996 and headquartered in Oslo, Norway.
