The problem
Vitesse calms the chaos of employee purchasing
Before Vitesse, tail spend is fragmented across hundreds of vendors with no central visibility. Finance deals with a flood of invoices and zero oversight. Vitesse routes every transaction through one controlled workflow.

Analytics
Get total visibility into what employees buy
Real-time analytics show exactly what is being purchased, the vendor it came from, and whether a preferred vendor could leverage spend better. Every transaction is auto-classified across 200+ procurement categories.
Compliance
Prevent out-of-policy (or even illegal) purchases
Vitesse vets the vendor and purchase details before payment, so finance catches unauthorized spend and avoids compliance breaches. Configurable controls, e-invoicing checks, and real-time sanctions screening are built in.
Onboarding
Shrink onboarding from weeks to days
Vitesse handles vendor setup, invoicing, and payment on your behalf, so employees never wait to buy from a new supplier. With automated checks and digital documentation, most suppliers are active within 1 to 3 business days.
Payment
Only pay one consolidated invoice
Finance makes a single payment to Vitesse. We handle all downstream vendor payments, taxes, tariffs, and reconciliation. AP workload drops by an average of 70%, with every transaction traceable in one audit-ready record.
