Today, we’re excited to announce that Scoro has acquired Envoice, a category leader in AI-powered bill and expense management.
Scoro has always tracked project costs. You can log expenses, link them to projects, and see the impact on budgets and margins. But getting that external cost data into the system in the first place? That’s where a lot of the hurdles lie for many professional services firms. The receipt-chasing, manual data entry, approval routing, and data cleanup that happens before a cost ever reaches your project budget in Scoro.
Envoice is purpose-built to solve exactly that. And by integrating it directly with Scoro, we’re making it significantly easier to capture accurate cost data – so you see margins in real time, not two weeks later.
Why This Matters: The Battle for Margins & Visibility
Most service firms manage their projects and billable hours in one system, while project-related external costs, such as freelancer bills or travel expenses, sit in a separate accounting silo. This fragmentation forces leaders to wait until month-end to see their true profit margins.
But delayed visibility is only half the problem. The other half is the manual burden of getting the expense logged in the first place: chasing down bills, entering data, routing expenses for approval, making sure costs get coded to the right projects, and so on. It’s tedious, error-prone, and eats up valuable time.
By combining Scoro’s professional services automation platform with Envoice’s AI-driven bill and expense management system, we’re solving both of these problems at once:
- Costs get captured and categorized automatically.
- Approvals get routed to the right people without manual triage.
- Every expense links to the correct project the moment it’s logged for live margin tracking.
For service businesses operating on tight margins, this means fewer surprises at month-end, faster decisions, and far greater control over profitability as work happens.
A Shared Vision for AI
This acquisition is a major step toward our broader vision: applying AI and automation across the full project lifecycle to solve real operational problems.
At Scoro, this journey is already well underway with our AI assistant, ELI, and our MCP server. Scoro’s AI is unique as it doesn’t rely on generic public knowledge. It works with your actual business data: projects, resources, timelines, budgets, and financials.
But AI is only as good as the data feeding it. And cost data has traditionally been the laggard. Arriving late, entered inconsistently, or sitting in disconnected systems. Envoice changes that. Their AI-powered extraction technology reads and categorizes bills and receipts with exceptional accuracy, ensuring cost data is digitized the moment it exists.
By bringing Envoice into Scoro’s ecosystem, we’re closing that gap – giving our AI a complete, real-time picture to work with. The result: more relevant recommendations, earlier warnings, and fewer blind spots.
What This Means for Scoro Customers
For Scoro customers, this acquisition introduces a purpose-built front end for managing external project costs.
Envoice will continue to operate as a standalone product with its own dedicated interface. It’s not a hidden feature inside Scoro, but a complementary system that integrates deeply with your project workflows.
Used together, Scoro and Envoice provide a comprehensive solution for managing projects, work, resources, and costs.
First, Envoice automates pre-accounting and the capture of external expenses:
- Automated data extraction – forward PDF bills via email or snap a photo of a receipt and AI digitizes it with near-perfect accuracy, eliminating manual entry.
- Approval workflows – automatically route expenses and supplier invoices to the right people for review before they are finalized and paid out.
- Expense management – give your team a simple app to submit reimbursables in seconds to improve visibility into pass-through costs.
Then, the integration brings that data into Scoro in real-time:
- Automated linking to projects and POs – all related expenses get linked to the correct projects and purchase orders at the point of capture.
- Live margin tracking – approved costs flow directly into project budgets, allocated to the right budget lines and financial dimensions, so you see the impact on profitability immediately. This makes project cost reporting faster and even more reliable.
The Scoro–Envoice integration is already in closed beta. If you’re interested in the combined solution, register your early interest here.
What This Means for Envoice Customers
If you’re an Envoice customer, the short version is: nothing changes about the product you’ve come to love.
Same interface, same features, same hands-on support. Envoice will continue to operate as an independent product with the same stability and accuracy.
What will change is the speed of innovation. With the backing of Scoro’s resources and development capacity, Envoice will be able to accelerate its roadmap significantly. You can expect more features, deeper automation, and a stronger foundation for the tools you use every day.
What’s Next
This is just the beginning. While Scoro and Envoice will continue to operate as separate products, we’ll be joining our forces to ensure a seamless data flow between the two systems.
Over the coming months, we’ll roll out further enhancements to the integration that brings bill and expense automation even closer to your project workflows.
We’re thrilled to welcome the Envoice team to the Scoro Group!
