Browse what Groot can do today, from invoices and claims to accounting, stock, payroll and reporting. Availability notes show where a feature depends on your market or business setup.
Purchases and expenses
Supplier costs, employee claims and direct expenses.
Handle supplier documents, employee claims and costs paid directly by Finance without treating them as the same kind of work.
Supplier invoices
Upload PDFs or images in different layouts. Groot reads the supplier, dates, tax, totals and line items, then keeps the source beside the draft for Finance to review.
Multi-file upload and line-item extraction
Duplicate, total and price-change checks
Supplier ageing, payment tracking and accounting handoff
Employees capture receipts and submit a complete report to the right approvers. Groot checks duplicates and policy rules, then creates the journal entry after final approval.
Named, multi-step approval policies
Return, resubmit and approval history
