Hey Product Hunters! 👋
We’re the makers of Vuala and and we’re grateful for the chance to share the first step in our vision, Vuala 1.0, with this innovative community.
We recognize that having real-time financial statements is fundamental for any company. In finance, there are many manual tasks. Our vision is to automate all of them. The first manual task is finding invoices. Which founder hasn't experienced having to send a bunch of invoices to his accountant and not finding them? 😵💫
That's where Vuala 1.0 steps in! We provide accountants with all the invoices they need, right where they need them.
🔗 Connect your invoice providers: Whether your invoices are in emails or scattered across online platforms (such as Amazon Business, Google Ads, Meta Ads, etc) and among teammates, we've got you covered. We are constantly adding new integrations and would greatly appreciate your suggestions on what to add next. Also, is finding your company's expense invoices a real pain in your finance workflow?
📬 Choose where the accountant wants to receive the invoices Vuala founds from the selected providers. Some of our current destinations are Google Drive, an email address or Zapier.
We have a 30 day free-trial so you can try it out for yourselves. However, we’re offering an exclusive deal for the Product Hunt community: 50% off on our monthly Team plan, rally the whole crew! 🎉
Vuala aims to accelerate accounting and FP&A teams by streamlining all finance operations.
This is just the first step for Vuala and your point of view will help shape our future, let us know what you think. Your insights are invaluable to us. Let's shape the future of Vuala together! 🚀

@victorferrerbellver very well done on a polished, razor sharp launch edit. I’m a huge fan of brevity and you’ve managed to convey an awful lot in just 22 seconds. Congrats!

@al_gordon Thank you for your kind words. At the end of the day, the idea of what we do is quite simple: moving invoices from one place to another. While we know there's still a long journey ahead, we're also exploring other finance automations. Finance ops is full of manual tasks, we're excited to streamline more processes in the future.
You had me at automating finance. I love the thought of that. I also like your approach and will definitely give it a try in the near future. You have my upvote. Good luck!
Hunter
Thank you for the kind words @philippgeppert . We have tried to keep it as simple as possible. We will be looking forward to your feedback when you try it! Thanks again for the support :)
Congrats on the launch team!
As a founder, I know the last thing I want to be doing is chasing invoices at the end of the month.
Going through the onboarding a couple of things come to mind.
- Step 1 in the onboarding is not really a step, it's information that I already got from the landing page and why I decided to sign up. It's also a very information-loaded step. Step 2 is the actual first step it seems and there's a clear action for me, connect my sources which could be used as the space to explain again what we're doing rather than have an overview step. Just thinking about making onboarding as smooth as possible, it felt a bit long and information heavy.
- On step 2, when I search for an invoice supplier that is not there and I click on "suggest integration" I need to re-write what I had originally searched for which prompted me to click on the button in the first place. Would be nice to have it pre-filled with what I originally searched.
- When connecting Google Drive as a destination, it wasn't clear to me from the description that you guys would create the folder. I went ahead and created a folder prior to share with you guys but it ended up not being needed. Also, the naming of the folder was straight up the name of my domain "querio" which will probably make it a bit hard to find later. Something like querio-vuala-invoices sounds like an easy search fetch for later.
- I haven't gotten to test it but I really like the email forwarding inbox I can send my invoices to. From previous experience working in a similar problem at a fintech, I know a lot of users used to request automatic forwarding. They basically had a single invoice address such as "invoices@mycompany.com" and they wanted to forward all emails to our address. In order to set that up, Gmail and Outlook would send a code in return to the forwarding address which you had to input in the Gmail or Outlook app. Is this something you guys support?
That's all from onboarding, I'll play with the app more in the coming days/weeks and share any feedback I have.
Anyways, from personal experience as a founder and from professional experience as a PM working on this, I know this is a pain point many people in finance ops have every single month. Good job with the product so far and with the launch.
Vamos Vuala!

@rocketmanjb Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! 🙌 We truly appreciate your insights as a founder and your perspective as a PM in the finance ops space.
Regarding the onboarding process, we'll definitely take a closer look at Step 1, making it more concise and focused. This is actually an improvement we were already thinking about. Thanks for the suggestion about pre-filling the search term in the suggest integration step. That would help users. Actually that 'request integration' functionality is being used quite a lot. We'll work on improving this for a smoother experience.
You are right about the clarity of Google Drive integration and folder naming. Will think about that..!!
As for the email forwarding inbox, we currently don't support the specific process you mentioned, but we'll consider such features for future updates for sure.
Thanks again for your positive words and constructive feedback!
Go Vuala and GO QUERIO!
Let's keep in touch Javier!
Congratulations on this launch! The ability to connect various invoice providers and streamline data from platforms like Google Ads and Meta Ads seems like a real-time saver. Good luck!
Hunter
@daria_sokolovskaya Yeah it is for a lot of companies, as they often have to undergo this process manually. Some of them deal with over 100 invoices or receipts that need to be downloaded manually every month.
Kudos to Vuala Team! Congrats for the launch!
It's great to see innovation that directly solves an issue that accountants face. Simplifying the process of finding invoices could be a game changer in workflow optimisation 🚀 Congratulations for developing a solution that will surely have a huge impact in the accounting sector!
