“Can a document-automation and expense-management SaaS company embed spend controls and credit card issuance to become the full pre-accounting financial OS for European SMBs?”
Founded in 2015 as a receipt-scanning app, Klippa evolved into a broader Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and expense management SaaS business, offering both its DocHorizon (IDP platform) and SpendControl (pre-accounting and expense management) products. The company expanded into embedded finance by partnering with Pliant in 2023 to issue Visa business credit cards directly to its SpendControl customers, deepening its role in the corporate spend lifecycle. Klippa was subsequently acquired by German ECM vendor Doxis (SERgroup Holding International), with products now being rebranded under the Doxis umbrella.
Klippa integrates with NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Xero and Sage Intacct.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 4 layers in Klippa's stack: Card issuing (Pliant); Card network (Visa); Unified APIs (Rutter); Accounting (NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Xero and Sage Intacct).
Klippa is founded in 2015 and headquartered in Groningen, Netherlands.
