合思 (Hose, formerly Ekuaibao) is an AI-driven expense control and reimbursement platform that automates corporate spending from request to accounting archive.

Overview

Hose (合思) is a Chinese financial operations platform covering expense requests, corporate card and travel purchasing, invoice verification, reimbursement, and electronic accounting archives. Its AI approval assistant reviews expense claims against policy, checks digital invoices (数电票) for authenticity and duplicates, and generates accounting vouchers automatically. The platform connects with banking, ERP, and e-invoice systems so companies reach a state the vendor calls “no-reimbursement,” where routine claims settle without manual handling. It is widely adopted by Chinese enterprises modernizing finance operations. The platform’s AI review layer is trained on large volumes of Chinese expense documentation, so it recognizes policy edge cases such as entertainment limits, travel tiers, and mixed personal and corporate spending.

Implementation, data migration, and integration with ERP and banking systems are scoped per customer through its nationwide service network. Modular pricing means companies can start with expense control and later add travel, archives, or payment capabilities.

Who Is It For
