Accounting Seed vs. Quadient Accounts Receivable

Accounting Seed is a great solution for businesses looking for reliable accounting software. It offers all the features needed and works as expected. In addition, it is not as pricey as many competitors and therefore a great choice. I would recommend it for both startups and established businesses.

Suited for all sizes, we used them when we were 200 employees and now 500 and seems to be going smoothly.

• When making a deposit for a donation we can tag the account record.
• Anyone can recognize donors that are also vendors.
• Extracting general ledger detail is accurate and easy - allowing us to ensure the GL matches revenue detail from donations, box office and education.
• Budgeting is actually pretty nimble now that I am using it more.

• Self serve and easy access to customer documents
• provides a full audit of all collection notes for any invoice in a single repository of data
• Allows your collection team to become more proactive on issues than reactive - the automated services Quadient offers remove a lot of the manual human tasks

• Sometimes when creating a receipt it can't seem to find the company I am searching for in the drop-down, I have to go out to the company and enter from there.
• Some of the accounting reports seem to be limited, though at times this may just be the user! Still learning as I go! But there have been some reports that state I would need to add another partner app to do, which would mean more cost.

• Being able to tell clients which invoices were applied to for payment application
• More analytical tools

Amazing tool which we love. Definitely something to consider if you have a high volume of customers or your team runs lean as it does a lot of the touches without human support

Accounting Seed was easy to implement and use without third-party service providers' intervention. Furthermore, the vendor forwarded us a copy of articles and documentation on implementation, customization and integration, which made it much easier for us to integrate it with company API and other external programs.

Super easy set up - does not need Admin support to create workflows or templates - anyone with a sense of receivables processes can do it

We seldom have had to use their support but when we have, they have been responsive and actually were able to answer our questions in a simple, nontech language. You don't have to be a programmer to talk to them!

I have never used Xero at my current organization, but I used it at Alliance Data before Implementing Accounting Seed. Xero wasn’t updated much during the years that we were using it. Also, Xero failed to integrate with some of third-party applications that we were using. Finally, Accounting Seed was highly navigable, had clean UI/UX unlike Xero.

Quadient stacked up pretty well. Pricing was a bit higher than what we wanted to spend; however, based on the value we are receiving in a streamlined product, we pulled the trigger on it. Dunning was a bit more limited and manual process in the collections process so we opted for Quadient.

• Accounting Seed has been available to use at a reasonable annual cost.
• Installation, setup and integration cost were reasonable.
• Customization is simple so we do it our selves and saved money not using outside consultants
