Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can buy each Yokoy module separately. However, using the full suite provides greater benefits, as you can manage your expenses, invoices, and card payments in one central platform, and you can reduce system and data silos by simplifying ERP integrations.

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 your IT landscape and the required configurations and integrations. For example, a global implementation with 2 legal entities, an ERP system integration, credit card integrations, and SSO setup takes about 2 months. The projects are carried out either by the Yokoy Services team or a certified Implementation Partner.

Yes, our Implementation team 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 Account Manager and financial process consulting from our in-house finance experts.

We use modern data encryption standards for both stored data and data in transit. Additionally, we work with external penetration testers (hackers) to constantly challenge our platform’s vulnerabilities. We adhere to local regulations such as GDPR in the EU or the Swiss Data Protection Act, to deliver the best data protection standards.

Given that no two setups are the same, we’ll discuss your specific needs during the sales process, and provide you with a tailored offer that ensures you’ll get the most out of our spend management suite.
