## The panel's verdict

Jenji is an expense management solution from SILAEXPERT SAS of Aix-en-Provence, part of the SILAE group since September 2022, sold as a platform of six named modules. The scoring is strongest on receipt capture and on reimbursement and VAT, both flat at 4: a mobile app and web app are offered, receipts and invoices are said to be processed automatically, reports are "submitted, validated and reimbursed automatically", and tax recovery is calculated under the organisation's and the country's accounting rules. It is weakest on cards and spend control and on accounting export, at 2–3, where the pages name a Jenji Pay module and an integrations section but no issuing institution, card limit, accounting system, export format or API. Sovereignty genuinely splits 3–4: the higher scores credit the French legal notice (RCS Aix en Provence, French VAT number, French law); the lower ones hold back because where expense data is hosted is unstated — the only host named anywhere is HubSpot in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for the website, and the copyright line reads Jenji Inc. Only a free trial is offered publicly.

**Speaks for it:**
- Receipt capture sits at a flat 4, on a stated mobile app and web app with receipts and invoices processed automatically
- Reimbursement and VAT also sits at a flat 4, with reimbursement described as automatic and tax recovery calculated from the organisation's and the country's accounting rules
- The legal notice rests on a French entity: SILAEXPERT SAS of Aix-en-Provence, RCS Aix en Provence 523 020 287, French VAT number FR81518892211, French applicable law, SILAE group since September 2022, with a GDPR privacy policy referenced in the footer
- Published mobile app ratings of 4.7 on the App Store and 4.8 on Google Play
- A free trial ('Essayer Jenji gratuitement') is offered publicly

**Held against it:**
- Cards and spend control scored 2–3: Jenji Pay appears only as 'paiement simplifié' with transaction control, and we found no public information on issuing institutions, card limits, budgets or feeds from existing bank cards
- Accounting export scored 2–3: an integrations section and a Jenji Vault storage module exist, but the captured pages name no accounting system, export format, booking proposal or API
- Sovereignty splits 3–4 because we found no public information on product-data hosting, subprocessors, a data processing agreement or certifications — the only host stated anywhere is HubSpot in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for the website
- Approval and policy sits at 3 on a one-line claim of automatic validation, with no routing by amount, team or cost centre, deputies or audit history described
- Pricing transparency scored 1–2: no tiers, per-user prices or terms appear on the captured pages, only the free trial

**Best for:**
- Your team's core workflow is capturing receipts on a phone and getting validated claims reimbursed, with tax recovery calculated under your organisation's and the country's rules
- You buy under French law and want a French contracting entity — SILAEXPERT SAS in the SILAE group — with a GDPR privacy policy referenced
- You want to evaluate through the free trial ('Essayer Jenji gratuitement') before any commitment

**Avoid if:**
- You need company cards — physical or virtual — with per-card limits, budgets or live feeds from existing bank cards; the captured pages show only the Jenji Pay module name with transaction control
- Your close depends on a named accounting or ERP hand-off with export formats or a documented API; the integrations section names no system
- You need approval routing by amount, team or cost centre with deputies and an audit trail; only automatic validation is described

## Scores by judge and criterion

Scores out of 5, each judge scoring independently against the published rubric (v1). "n/r" = not rated: the vendor publishes no price, or the judge found no public information on that criterion.

### The judges

- **The Travelling Employee** (v1.0): A sales engineer on the road three days a week, with hotel bills in three currencies and a glovebox full of parking tickets. Wants to photograph a receipt and be done, mileage and per diems worked out without a spreadsheet, a company card so private money is never spent, and the money back on the account within days rather than at the end of the quarter.
- **The Office Manager** (v1.0): Runs the office of a thirty-person agency and is the one who chases missing receipts every month. Wants a card for each project lead with a limit she sets, software subscriptions on their own virtual cards, receipts that arrive without reminders, an export the tax adviser accepts, and a monthly price she can work out before the trial ends.
- **The Controller** (v1.0): Owns the travel and expense policy of a manufacturer with four legal entities and twelve hundred staff. Wants approval chains by cost centre and amount, limits checked before a claim is submitted rather than after it is paid, duplicates and private spending caught, budgets that cards draw from, and an audit trail that shows who approved and changed what.
- **The Finance Lead** (v1.0): Closes the month for a hundred-and-fifty-person Mittelstand company and books card spend from three banks. Wants card statements that reconcile by themselves, booking proposals with account, tax key and cost centre, receipts that reach DATEV with the booking, reimbursements paid in one SEPA run, and nothing that has to be retyped.
- **The Tax Adviser** (v1.0): A Steuerberaterin whose clients send their expenses from five different tools. Wants per diems and mileage at the statutory rates, the input VAT read from a receipt that actually qualifies for the deduction, substitute receipts only where the law allows them, scanned originals archived GoBD-compliant, and bookings that arrive in DATEV with the receipt image attached.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has seen "no more expense reports" turn into a card programme with a currency fee on every hotel abroad and a per-user price that counts everyone who ever logged in. Reads "DATEV integration" that means a CSV, "AI receipt scanning" with no word on where the receipts are read, card terms that leave the issuer unnamed, and subprocessor lists that stop at the hosting provider — and asks what leaving would cost.
