Benefits of Credit Card Integration
With the integrated credit card solution, managing business expenditures becomes simpler and more efficient. Highlights at a glance:
- Automatic recording of all credit card payments.
- Automatic recording of all credit card receipts.
- Supplementary synchronization from MOCO to Pliant.
- Real-time view in the cash flow report.
- The cardholder is identified in MOCO for correct allocation of the expenditure.
- The integration is developed and maintained by MOCO and is included in the subscription.
Automatic Recording of All Credit Card Payments
Transactions from Pliant are synchronized as expenditure payments in MOCO. Reconciliation of the credit card statement is not required. Transactions not yet booked in Pliant (shown as pending) are displayed in number and amount and linked under "Drafts".
Automatic Recording of All Credit Card Receipts in MOCO
MOCO directly creates expenditure drafts with receipts from Pliant. If text recognition (OCR) is enabled, the receipts are also read out.
If the receipt is recorded later in Pliant, it will be synchronized retroactively. If the receipt is still missing, MOCO will still create an expenditure draft with a note that the receipt is missing.
We recommend always recording receipts via Pliant. Pliant offers an incoming email address. The receipts are then automatically assigned to the payment.

Supplementary Synchronization from MOCO to Pliant
If a missing receipt is added to the expenditure draft in MOCO or the payment from Pliant is assigned to a receipt already recorded in MOCO, the receipt will also be synchronized to Pliant.
This significantly reduces administrative effort, simplifies receipt tracking, and ensures that both systems are always up to date.

Real-Time View in the Cash Flow Report
Since the payments are recorded directly after approval from Pliant, they flow promptly into the cash flow report, and you can also see the payment in the Dashboard tile "Payment Outflow".

Pliant
Best-in-class Approach
Like MOCO, Pliant also follows the best-in-class approach: A few tools focused on specific areas, optimally integrated, provide the best flow and the most value.
Unique Comprehensive Integration
The usual approach so far has been "light integrations" – only payments are fetched via finAPI, not receipts. MOCO is currently the first agency software in the DACH region to offer such a direct and comprehensive integration with Pliant credit cards.

Collected Experience from Practice
We at MOCO use MOCO as an ERP for our company and the credit card solution from Pliant for about 3 months. Practical experience played an essential role in achieving a truly meaningful integration.
This is how the cards work for us: Some employees have a personal virtual card for expenses such as travel costs. Additionally, we have a credit card through which our subscriptions (tools and other services) run.
