Bazaro vs. Medius
Medius is a Swedish AP automation platform used primarily by large enterprises across the Nordics, UK, and US. It handles invoice capture, approval workflows, and payment. Bazaro is purpose-built for restaurants and food service, adding the food cost and kitchen layer that general AP platforms leave out.

Which solution fits your situation?
Choose Bazaro if…
You operate restaurants, hotels, or food service venues and need invoice automation that understands your business — with direct links to food cost, Fortnox/Visma integration, and a team that speaks restaurant.
Choose Medius if…
You are a large enterprise (200+ employees) that needs advanced payment automation, complex approval hierarchies, and integration with enterprise ERPs like SAP or Oracle, and your focus is not restaurant-specific.
