Frequently asked questions
Yokoy Expense and Yokoy Invoice can be purchased separately, however Yokoy Pay is not available without also purchasing Yokoy Expense.

Yes, Yokoy integrates with more than 50 solutions, automating your entire spend management process from end to end. At the same time, our API makes it easy to build custom integrations, if you can’t find what you’re looking for. Check our Integrations page for more details.
Yes, although we serve both midsize and large customers, Yokoy’s added value is best experience by global enterprise customers. Our suite is built for complex, global multi-entity configurations, and integrates with most enterprise ERP & HRM tools such as SAP R3/S4 and Successfactors, among others.
This depends on the number of legal entities, the required configurations and integrations, as well as the readiness and responsiveness of the customer project team. For example, a global implementation with 4 legal entities, an ERP system integration, credit card integrations, and SSO setup could take from 2 to 6 months, depending on the level of standardization, the IT landscape and on how quickly required information can be provided. The project scope and duration will be individually assessed with you, by our certified Implementation Partner or our Yokoy Services Team.
We work with a number of qualified and certified partners who will lead the project from planning to implementation and testing, and will coordinate training workshops for your team. Global enterprise customers benefit from a dedicated Key Customer Success Manager, and can have the option of engaging our in-house experts for best practice consulting.
