Overview
What is Airbase?
Airbase, acquired by Paylocity in 2024, now forms part of Paylocity for Finance, a spend management platform for controlling non-payroll expenditure. It combines guided procurement, accounts payable automation, expense management, corporate cards, approval workflows, payments, reporting, and ERP synchronisation in one system. Finance teams can capture invoices, route approvals, enforce policies, issue cards, reimburse employees, and maintain audit trails. AI, OCR, and rules-based automation support invoice extraction, coding recommendations, receipt capture, fraud monitoring, and exception handling.
The platform is aimed at midsize and larger organisations with purchasing and approval requirements rather than businesses seeking a full ERP replacement. Its value comes from unifying fragmented spend processes and improving visibility before and after purchases. Pricing is customised, so buyers should confirm modules, integrations, card eligibility, implementation scope, and support with Paylocity.
