The story

Medius started in 2001 as a Swedish AP invoice automation vendor and grew into a global source-to-pay / spend management suite covering AP automation, payments, procurement, sourcing, expense (via Expensya acquisition), and supplier onboarding. Under Marlin Equity ownership it has layered agentic AI across invoice-to-pay and expanded into embedded financial workflows — notably Medius Payments (direct bank execution + virtual cards), BYOC via Astrada for card-transaction enrichment, and Avalara-powered indirect tax verification — positioning itself against Bill.com, Coupa and SAP Ariba in mid-market/enterprise spend.
