Go beyond the spend tool
Perk Spend manages expenses, invoices and cards, then exports them to your ERP. Light includes the ledger alongside spend and payments.
Take the invoice through to payment
Perk Spend matches the invoice and hands it to the ERP. Light pays approved bills from your own bank accounts on local rails in more than 80 countries and posts the result.
See the consolidated group
Perk Spend manages spend across entities. Light also consolidates their accounts, including currency translation and intercompany eliminations.
When to choose Light
The ledger is included
Light is the system of record: spend, AP, AR and the general ledger in one platform, with no ERP decision left open.
Pay suppliers from the ledger
Approved bills pay from your own bank accounts on local rails in 80+ countries.
The close happens in one place
The card transaction, the receipt and the ledger entry are one record, so there is nothing to match across systems.
“We evaluated several vendors. Light won because it covers our full finance stack, revenue, AR, AP, expenses, and consolidation, without stitching together a patchwork of point solutions.”
