About the technology
What Candis does
Candis is a cloud-based finance automation solution for accounts payable. Companies use it to receive invoices, extract key data, route documents for approval and prepare them for payment or accounting. The system helps replace email-heavy invoice handling with traceable digital workflows.
Core workflows
Candis supports recurring finance tasks from invoice receipt to approval and transfer into accounting. Typical work includes:
- Configuring invoice inboxes and document capture
- Mapping approval rules, entities and cost centres
- Reviewing extracted invoice data and exceptions
- Coordinating payment preparation and accounting handover
Ecosystem and connections
Strong Candis specialists understand the surrounding finance stack, not only the application itself. They work with accounting exports, DATEV integrations, payment processes, tax-relevant invoice fields and digital formats such as XRechnung where the business process requires them. Knowledge of ERP systems and internal controls is equally valuable.
When companies need specialists
Freelance expertise is useful when a company is introducing Candis, replacing manual invoice processes or expanding the setup across legal entities. It also helps when approval paths are unclear, data does not reach accounting cleanly or teams need training and documentation. In Germany, specialists can support remote rollout as well as workshops with finance teams on site.
Practical project deliverables
A Candis project may produce a documented invoice process, configured user roles, approval matrices, accounting mappings and tested integrations. Specialists can clean up master data, define exception handling and establish rules for duplicate invoices or missing information. They may also create operating guides for finance teams and handover materials for internal support.
What strong experts bring
The best Candis professionals combine process discipline with hands-on system knowledge. They ask how invoices move through the business before changing settings, test edge cases and explain decisions clearly to accounting and purchasing teams. Useful adjacent skills include accounts payable, workflow design, data protection, change management and integration troubleshooting. They leave behind a setup that is understandable, auditable and ready for daily use.
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with Candis? These answers cover the essentials.
Candis is used to automate accounts payable processes, especially invoice receipt, data capture, approvals and payment preparation. It gives finance teams a central workflow for tracking documents and exceptions before information moves into accounting.
Candis replaces many email, spreadsheet and paper-based steps with a structured digital process. Compared with handling invoices directly in an ERP or accounting system, it focuses more strongly on receipt, collaboration, approval and pre-accounting workflows.
A strong Candis specialist understands accounts payable, accounting data, approval controls and integration work. Experience with DATEV, ERP processes, payment runs, digital invoice formats and user training is often useful, depending on the company’s setup.
The required experience depends on the number of entities, approval paths and connected systems. A smaller rollout may need configuration and training, while a complex implementation calls for process analysis, data cleanup, integration testing and a carefully planned handover.
Candis work is often suitable for remote collaboration because configuration, testing and documentation take place online. On-site workshops can still help when finance, purchasing and management need to agree on approval rules or when German-language training is important.
Ask the Candis freelancer to describe a comparable invoice workflow and the problems they solved. Look for clear explanations of accounting handovers, approval logic, exception handling and testing rather than a setup that only works for an ideal process.
Candis is not a universal replacement for an accounting or ERP system. It complements those systems by organizing invoice workflows and preparing reliable information for accounting, while the exact division of work depends on the company’s applications and controls.
An experienced Candis specialist can review approval rules, mappings, roles and exception queues to find unnecessary manual work. They can also improve documentation, test the accounting connection and train users so the process remains consistent after the project ends.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Candis in their recent projects is 119 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 952 € based on an 8-hour working day.
