Quadient Accounts Payable by Beanworks vs. Webexpenses

The one part I would suggest approval in is when updating an invoice. If for example, one employee approved an invoice and then I, the administrator, make a change before the second employee approves an invoice the invoice is resubmitted to the original employee. It would be much easier if the invoice would only go to the secondary/final approver even once a change is made

Really suits me well for making mileage claims, the map works well and it has an accurate log of addresses. Very handy and easy to be able to add any necessary receipts. Could be a good idea to include live road closures? but I understand that's quite tricky to do. Really easy to be able to move routes when you have gone a different way than recommended.

There doesn't seem to be anything in the market at the same price point that is better, however if there is an interrupter in the market that provides better value, then we would heavily assess the cost of change to see if we should move on to the alternative offering.

Beanworks takes some time to set up initially, but once it's ready on your computer, it is very easy to use in conjunction with QuickBooks. They have representatives that are readily available or can schedule an appointment to walk you through it if you are ever having issues. Uploading invoices is quick and easy. Approvers can easily make changes to coding before approving.

Based on what I have used it for, it was very easy to use and navigate. The approval process was already setup on the back end so there was no confusion on my end. Notifications were sent to my email based on status which made it helpful to understand where an expense was in the process.

The support for the initial setup was great, but since then we have only had to contact support once when we had problems uploading credit card files. The help we received at this time was not good and we ended up trying various things until we resolved the problem ourselves. The online support tutorials are good, but searching for a specific issue is difficult.

All went well.

It was difficult to train multiple people via video, as they learned at different speeds, and most of the user champions were not as capable with systems and finance processes as our dept.

As long as you have people that are fully aware of the setup steps to get users into the software then I would see no issues arising for any company.

I have not used a system like Beanworks before -- this is my first -- but it is a great tool.

I would have to say that Webexpenses does not stack up well in comparison to Expensify. If given a choice, I would choose Expensify for the best user experience and mobile / desktop being more seamless. It accomplishes the same thing but has a more modern, minimal, and streamlined feel to it.
