Nvoicepay vs. Zoho Books

It is suited for companies of any size that want to save money by reducing their A/P staff. There is also an option for vendors to use NVoicepay credit cards that offer rebates that help to offset costs of your A/P staff and their fees. NVoicepay fees are minimal as well...it is a per transaction fee with ACH/credit card option being less expensive than checks. A great solution for payments for all companies!

Zoho Books is good for a company or organization that wants to keep track of invoices, payments, and cash flow. If you do not have a full-time accountant in your organization, it can work well as whenever you hire one or have someone check your books, the information they need will be there, provided it has been entered into Zoho Books. It works as a one-man operation or a small team. For larger teams, it would depend on how much information needs to be input on a daily basis.

• Nvoicepay does a great job of pulling the invoices in from our DMS system on a daily basis so we can see what invoices need to be paid.
• NVoicepay allows for many methods of payment. They call all of your vendors for you and set them up on their preferred payment methods.
• NVoicepay takes care of all issues for you with the vendor. They make all of the payments once you initiate it in their system.

• The projects feature is what we use a lot it helps setting up projects as well as tracking expenses and bills for the whole project. The budgeting feature is very developed, allowing you to budget by total project cost, total project hours, hours per task, or hours per staff.
• Customer Estimates and Invoices are very easy to setup and send directly from the app (it also has a very nice and customizable reminder option).
• Stock and pricing listings is very intuitive and easy and makes it a very helpful and time saving feature.
• Bank reconciliation and Financial reporting are very developed and make it easy to share information with bookeepers and accounting specialists.

• Perhaps the most frustrating part of Nvoicepay is the reporting. Simply working through the filtering to find a transaction in the history is extremely difficult. If you don't select the filters in the correct order you will typically find zero results.
• The formatting for the upload is also a little tricky. Since you are uploading an excel file, any zip codes with leading zeros typically have the zeros removed and result in a failed upload. So having to place an apostrophe in front of any leading zeros is kind of pain especially when you have 100 plus lines of transactions.
• The main dashboard is also something to be desired. I understand the concept of providing the dashboard, but what use is it if I can't dig in and see what the numbers and graphs are made of? If Nvoicepay was able to hyperlink to the transactions that make up each category it would make the dashboard far more useful.

• Printing checks - they only offer one vendor and they are expensive compared to QuickBook alternatives.
• Their interface for bids - retainers and applying them against income could be improved, but once you know how it's easy.
• Their recurring fees don't seem to always work the way I'd want. But overall they work.

Customization is the biggest struggle for us and most of the time we need to involve a tech person. The chat support is a great feature and very helpful. It would be great to be able to customize and create invoices and correspondence (templates) such are reminders in multiple languages within one organization. The currency (USD) would be the same. We have clients in different countries that don't speak English but pay in USD.

The support team feels very disjointed. We have filtered through a number of "lead" contacts and are frequently spammed by other Zoho members. Once getting an appropriate support contact on the phone - the team is very helpful, it just takes a lot of hoop jumping to get there. We actually unsubscribed from their support package as we were not getting the value we were looking for.

I have not used any other third party payer products.

Cloud vs. desktop, this and the fact that Zoho Books syncs with our other Zoho apps were the most pressing reasons for switching to Zoho Books. As mentioned previously, we consider our accounting software to be an integral part of doing business efficiently, and we can now do that considering our systems are all integrated.

• Nvoicepay has had only a positive impact on our overall business objectives. Since it takes care of remedial tasks of processing payments we are able to concentrate on more complex tasks such as prepping for close, creating schedules, and improving other processes.

• I was able to cut my costs for a more complete and easy to use tool.
• Many transactions, and accounting tasks on 1 platform, reduction in time by a lot.
• Clients can pay without leaving your website (less drop-off, better conversions).
