What Is Eved?
Eved is the AI-led global AP and payments partner purpose-built for AP and payments for project-based creative work — serving the events, media, entertainment, and production industries.
Unlike generic AP automation tools that were designed for recurring suppliers and predictable invoicing cycles, Eved was built from the ground up for industries where vendors are temporary, projects are global, and deadlines drive everything.
The Problem We Solve
In events, film, TV, music, and live entertainment, the financial reality is fundamentally different from traditional business:
- Temporary vendor relationships — You might work with 2,000+ vendors per quarter, most of whom you'll never use again
- Global, project-based work — A single production can span 10 countries with payments in 15 currencies
- Speed-driven deadlines — vendor payments, per diem, and vendor settlements can't wait for a 30-day AP cycle
- Fragmented tools — Teams cobble together vCards, spreadsheets, email approvals, and manual wire transfers
The result? Finance teams spend more time managing the payment process than managing the business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes Eved different from Bill.com or Tipalti? A: Bill.com and Tipalti are excellent general-purpose AP tools, but they were designed for businesses with recurring vendor relationships. Eved is purpose-built for project-based creative work where vendors are temporary, payments are global, and speed matters. We handle the entire lifecycle from budget to final payment, including per diem, virtual cards, and multi-currency settlements.
Q: Is Eved only for large enterprises? A: No. While we serve Fortune 500 entertainment companies, our platform scales from mid-market production companies (50+ vendors per quarter) to global enterprise event teams (2,000+ vendors per quarter).
Q: How does Eved handle international payments? A: Eved processes payments in 140+ currencies across 200+ countries. We handle local compliance, tax withholding, and currency conversion automatically — so your team doesn't need to become experts in international banking.
