Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Bill was used to pay other vendors as well as receive payments from clients in a secure and centralized platform. Privacy and speed were two major areas that Bill was able to address. If a company needs to change their banking or personal information, it can be done only by them, thereby reducing clerical errors. The variety of payment types and processing speeds were important when evaluating Bill as a solution option.

Pros

Enrollment
Integration with other systems - Quickbooks
Speed of payment processing
Processing Payment options

Cons

Customer service is a bit cumbersome
More self-service features would be great to reduce call ins to support

Return on Investment

A positive is ease to set up and integrate with existing systems.
enrolling in the Bill network allows both payments sent and received

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bill.com for accounts payable. Some donors choose to make their donations through Bill.com, too. The approval process works through Bill.com. The system enables us to implement an efficient workflow and segregation of duties for proper internal controls. It's also integrated with the accounting database.

Pros

The approval process is easy to set up.
Processing invoices from entering it into the system to payment is paperless.
The integration with the accounting database has worked well.

Cons

Tech support is only available by chat.
We didn't intend to use Bill.com for cash receipts, so I didn't realize we had received some money until a donor inquired.

Most Important Features

Seamless approval process
The ability to process invoices without using or generating more paper.
The ability to set up good segregation of duties.

Return on Investment

We reduced the number of man hours needed for accounts payable.
We were able to set up segregation of duties easily.
