Emburse Tallie vs. Navan

Tallie is well suited for those that utilize Bill.com or another of its compatible integrations. Small businesses to medium-sized corporations can (fairly quickly) leverage Tallie. Tallie would be less appropriate for organizations that already lean heavily on Salesforce, NetSuite, or Workday -- Concur or Expensify might be more suitable options.

TripActions is absolutely useful for any outside sales teams and companies that promote or offer a lot of travel. If the sales team travels as much as ours does, it's worth the investment. If travel is not something that most of your company has on a monthly to quarterly basis, I do not think that TripActions would be well suited for that environment

• Very intuitive - liked how it was convenient to use when uploading receipts and liked how it would attempt to figure out what was on it so it could pre populate the required fields.
• The ability to add multiple categories and subcategories for where your purchase falls in the organization was super helpful when keeping organized.
• Mobile app to upload receipts on the fly has helped increase the amount of folks remembering to submit their receipts.

• Provides a wide range of travel options within a wide budget.
• It is reliable - if a trip gets canceled, they are quick to contact their customer and help sort out additional booking details to get you to your final destination.

• Tallie suggests it is able to read receipts and place them into the correct category, but I find myself updating these sections each time I upload a receipt. The system should be updated to read multiple receipts.
• Tallie sometimes rejects photos if they are not specific enough. This can be frustrating since it is sometimes difficult to upload receipts quickly while on the road. However, this rejection is not a common occurrence.
• More often then not, Tallie's emails go to my junk folder. Tallie should work on their spam count for Outlook.

• Global Pricing: Since TripActions has the role of an inventory aggregator, they have to tackle inventory one distributor at a time. If CTrip or MakeMyTrip has better inventory, it won't flow through to TripActions until a deal with them is made.
• Controls: TripActions is very open in the way it enforces policy - meaning it isn't for every company. If a customer wants more heavy-handed controls, they'll have to go with a competitor.

This decision overall isn’t made by me. The company evaluates the product. While I am an influencer the overall review is my personal opinion and mine only. The company books flights or would like for us to book flights through trip actions everything else is suggested but done with a personal cc which makes it optional. My option will be to not use TripActions for anything personally.

Certainly not as robust as bigger products/names on the market, but the features/solution it offers do extremely well, with a good mobile app experience and a nice, clean interface. It helped our organization (7 locations) go paperless, which rapidly improved our expense capture and timeliness in reporting and also gave our staff a better, user-friendly expense report and reimbursement process.

As a user of Tallie, I have never needed any support to use it. It is simple, logical and needs no training to use. As a company, I don't think we need any ongoing support but I believe the setup process, which they guided us through a year ago went well.

Both Tallie and Expensify are quality products that help with credit card management. Setting up an account, if you are only managing one company either product is equally qualified, however, if you are managing multiple companies, I find Tallie is easier for the set up and management of companies. In Tallie companies are treated as separate products, when you log on you select which company you are working in and while in that company you don't have access to another, whereas in Expensify companies can be intermingled. This could have is benefits, but from an outsourcing point of view it can make set up and management of clients harder. With assisting users, in Tallie as long as a user has the right permissions and access to a company, they can access any user's account in order to process charges, or assist users by masquerading as them. In Expensify, users have to give admin access to their accounts through their co-pilot access, this isn't an issue if users aren't likely to need help or help from more than one admin person, but as your client list and users grow, this type of access can be challenging or overwhelming.

TripActions is the first platform of its kind used by the company. Our director of Domestic Sales selected TripActions after evaluating other platforms (the names of which I do not know). His objective was to streamline travel planning, so that individual users are able to handle their own travel needs within company budgets, rather than relying on a travel coordinator position to handle planning for multiple employees (which had been the approach prior to TripActions).

• It frees up my time by allowing people to self-report in a common platform rather than sending paper expense reports.
• It's several thousand dollars cheaper than Concur and other high-end products.
• It works. It's not easy to get multiple cloud systems to properly integrate and this one seems to get it done.

Incentivized

• The ability to change flights while I am on the road in meetings. They actually call the agents for me.
• It has put money back in my pocket with the Amazon rewards and my company has saved money by me booking the less expensive options.
