Review Bill - RIO3 Consulting
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

Good AP solution but consider carefully the implementation design
Pros
- AP automation
- Centralized AP inbox
- Paperless
- Approval workflow
- Bill payment
Cons
- Inbox management - I spent much more time managing AP bills (compared to finance email address) because Bill.com pulled picture files, email signatures, even duplicate invoices.
- If you have multiple entities, there should an option to transfer an invoice to another Bill.com inbox. I had vendors that would send to the wrong email address regularly or just cc all our bill.com inboxes, thus substantially slowing my team down and adding work.
Most Important Features
- Automation
- Paperless
- Audit trail
- Approval workflows are highly customizable, per bill basis
Return on Investment
- We eventually went with a different AP solution
