Candis collapses approval-workflow sprawl — dynamic approvers and mandatory step fields land alongside an editor revamp.
The centerpiece of this window is a five-part Workflows release: a redesigned workflow editor, configurable mandatory fields per approval step, dynamic-field approver resolution (the right approver is picked from the receipt data — cost-center owner, project owner, invoice recipient), custom step labels, and the ability to import a workflow from another organization. Around that, Candis added Visa Click to Pay, a new layout and attachment support for Auslagen/Reisekosten (expenses and travel), an upcoming streamlined document layout (in beta from June 15), and improved automatching between credit-card transactions and invoices.
Reliability and mobile polish on the client-facing surface, after April's mobile-app launch.
Recent work centers on the Secure Client Access client portal and import reliability: a rebuilt faster portal with native app-install prompts, clearer import-error messaging for the credit-data providers, and fuzzy account matching that preserves disputes across reimports. This follows April's Secure Client Access mobile app launch.

Candis is reducing the number of workflow templates a finance team has to maintain — dynamic approver resolution and mandatory-fields-per-step replace what used to be a copy-paste workflow per cost center. The expense/document side gets steady UX polish on a separate cadence. Together it reads as a product moving from configurable-but-fiddly AP toward an opinionated AP backbone for German mid-market finance.
Expect dynamic-field resolution to widen beyond approvers — likely to account assignment and cost-center splits — and the upcoming document-layout beta to roll out as the default in late June. The cross-org workflow import has the shape of a future template marketplace if Candis chooses to lean into it.

The arc is hardening the client experience and the reimport pipeline, the operational core of a credit-repair CRM, rather than adding new product categories. The GoHighLevel native integration earlier showed a move to fold marketing tooling in-platform, but the current stream is quality and matching accuracy.
Expect continued reimport-accuracy work across more tradeline types (the notes promise it) and further mobile-app adoption nudges; no directional pivot is visible.
