Procurement-to-pay tool is squeezing latency out of AP — bulk pay, in-line edit, pay-on-approval.
Procurify is shipping a steady stream of AP-team velocity improvements: Bulk Payment Preparation, an at-a-glance progress view on order requests, Advanced Bill Filtering, in-line bill editing in Beta, Pay-on-Approval for Bill Payments, and Bulk Approve Payments. Earlier in the window, Approval Pools, Direct Debit for Bill Pay, and an AI Intake for Orders early-access program all landed.
Stigg adds credit reservation and settlement for AI operations days after its agent SDK.
Stigg can now reserve credits before an AI operation starts and settle the actual cost when it finishes. It follows the beta Agent Governance SDK, an open-source library built on Stigg's entitlements engine. Earlier October releases added an Airwallex billing backend, credit usage grouped by feature and a Stripe Projects listing.

The product is being optimized for high-volume AP and procurement teams, where the bottleneck is no longer feature breadth but the number of clicks per invoice processed. In-line editing, bulk approvals, pay-on-approval, and approval pools collectively compress the steps between bill entry and money out the door. The AI Intake for Orders early-access feature is the directional bet for where the cycle goes next — turning unstructured order requests into structured intake automatically.
Expect AI Intake to expand out of early access and likely a parallel AI capability for bill ingestion (OCR-plus-LLM) given the in-line edit groundwork. Direct Debit support is likely to see broader regional/banking expansion. Approval pools will probably grow into more nuanced routing rules.

It follows the beta Agent Governance SDK, an open-source library built on Stigg's entitlements engine. Earlier October releases added an Airwallex billing backend, credit usage grouped by feature and a Stripe Projects listing.
Credits have become Stigg's main pricing unit, and the product is adapting them to AI workloads whose cost isn't known up front. Reserve and settle, together with the governance SDK, turns the entitlements engine into a spending control for agents.
Expect the governance SDK to use reservations directly for agent limits, and more reporting on reserved versus settled usage.
