Kanbina

What Kanbina does

Kanbina is a UK-based SaaS company founded in 2017 that provides an AI and Machine Learning platform for hyperautomating transactional finance and accounting processes, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliations, cash allocations, revenue recognition, approvals, and adjacent functions such as procurement, vendor onboarding, advanced inventory, inbound shipments, and international tariff monitoring. The platform is built on Microsoft Azure and combines proprietary Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) with self-learning ML models, GenAI finance assistants powered by private GPT instances (using OpenAI, Google Gemini, Mistral, or Meta Code Llama) under a proprietary governance layer, and deep bi-directional API integrations with major ERP systems including Oracle NetSuite, SAP, Workday, Unit4, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor M3, Maconomy, and Yardi. A dedicated AI Innovation Platform enables customers to build bespoke AI services beyond finance, and the platform supports multi-entity, multi-currency, and multilingual deployments across 150+ tax jurisdictions, with quantified outcomes of up to ~80% manual intervention reduction, ~90% invoice automation, and ~95% first-pass match rates.

Kanbina generates revenue through a subscription-based SaaS model with quote-driven enterprise pricing tied to entity count, transaction volume, and customisation requirements; an estimated commercial benchmark of ~£1,000 per month is disclosed for e-invoicing in France, Germany, and Spain, with no implementation cost. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting CFOs, Finance Directors, and AP/AR teams at mid-to-large organisations, supplemented by a strategic referral and co-sell partnership with seed investor SystemsAccountants (an Oracle NetSuite Alliance Partner and Unit4 Select Partner) and direct procurement access via the UK G-Cloud and SPARK frameworks for public sector buyers. The customer base spans 25+ named enterprises across real estate (M7 Real Estate), government (City of Medicine Hat), education (University of Salford), gaming, automotive (Citroën), consumer goods (Ruggable), insurance (Howden, Avenir), financial services (Motorway, Go Henry, Avalara, AAVE, RSM), and other verticals, with deployments in the UK, Europe, North America, and beyond. The company holds 51-100 employees, is privately held (Kanbina Limited, registered in England & Wales), and is certified or aligned to ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, GDPR, SWIFT, and Peppol BIS 3.0 standards.
