What is Bigcapital?
Bigcapital is rebuilding its own foundation while the accounting features tick along
Nearly every recent release is dominated by one maintainer migrating the webapp to TypeScript and tearing out Redux in favour of tanstack-query, page group by page group — landing pages, form pages, guards, constants, hooks. Running alongside it is a generated TypeScript SDK built off an OpenAPI spec, now covering reports, payment links, Stripe, Plaid, and file upload and download. Actual accounting work is thinner: bulk account activation, base-currency correctness in financial reports, localized column headers in CSV, XLSX, and PDF exports.
What is Procurify?
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.

◆ Current state
Nearly every recent release is dominated by one maintainer migrating the webapp to TypeScript and tearing out Redux in favour of tanstack-query, page group by page group — landing pages, form pages, guards, constants, hooks. Running alongside it is a generated TypeScript SDK built off an OpenAPI spec, now covering reports, payment links, Stripe, Plaid, and file upload and download. Actual accounting work is thinner: bulk account activation, base-currency correctness in financial reports, localized column headers in CSV, XLSX, and PDF exports.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a codebase paying down debt before it grows, not a product chasing features. The OpenAPI-generated SDK is the more consequential thread — it turns Bigcapital from an app into something with a documented API surface others can build against, and the e2e test scaffolding appearing in the latest release suggests the migration is reaching the point where regressions need catching automatically. Expect the feature pace to stay modest until the TypeScript conversion finishes.
◆ Prediction
The remaining Redux and JavaScript surfaces will likely be converted next, with SDK coverage continuing to widen behind the OpenAPI spec, since both have produced commits in every recent release.
Procurify
1.7FINANCE
Procurement-to-pay tool is squeezing latency out of AP — bulk pay, in-line edit, pay-on-approval.
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
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.
◆ Prediction
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.
