About the company
 

Procys is a cutting-edge technology company that is dedicated to revolutionising the way businesses handle routine work. 
We’re on a mission to make work more enjoyable and efficient, through smart, automated business processes, helping teams to save time and money is what we do! Our goal is to automate 50 billion hours of routine and repetitive work. One of our first solutions helps finance teams worldwide with their biggest data stream: invoices. Be part of the efficiency, be part of Procys!

Procys is a distinct spin-off startup that has originated from Openprovider. While it shares its roots with Openprovider, Procys operates as an independent entity with a specialised focus on advanced machine learning and AI solutions designed for automation.

All Procys and Openprovider employees work on a fully remote basis and without any geographical limitations. You don’t have to go to the office each day and deal with traffic or painful commutes. All you need is yourself, a laptop, and a cup of coffee. We support a healthy work/life balance and constantly strive to improve this aspect more and more every day. We support a flexible schedule and are 100% performance and result-oriented.
